Vintage 1970s skateboard forum

Anyone got a set of these British Classics I have a “mint” set that I listed on eBay, luckily I decided to take better photos of them. These came with bearings direct from shiner in the early 2000’s and have been in a bag with other wheels until somewhere reasonably recently, probably lock down but s ...

I had. Schmitt Stix Yardstick and 36” is long enough if you want to do anything other than carve, but I’m a short arse 😂 I seem to remember ??? Pavey one of the owners/ Investors in Benjyboards had an interview in Skateboard! He was long boarding presumably on the 40” but I’d need to look back to be ...

I believe the ones with the rubber rollers were popular as a downhill truck during that early X- games Dreggs era, just in case the wheels came off .

Not sure if the geometry changed at all it doesn’t look it.

Have to say that’s an absolute bargin.

Yeah but I have bad news for him he is still missing the elusive, maybe none existent Alexis Le Pasteur Benjyboard

It was in Skateboarder Magazine so it must be true

I have a couple of American VHS’s that I would trade for stickers or give away to someone that has an NTSC VHS player. I bought them at great expense years ago off Barleye on the Z-Boys.com website 😂 The first is Skateboard kings the eponymous BBC documentary featuring Gerry Valdez Tony Alva and Shog ...

I’d say most serious collectors know of Mark’s craftsmanship and would pay handsomely for it but I only think the eBay one made that much money as they come up so rarely.

I’m thinking there was yellow but could be thinking of the lollipop, Price was pretty crazy but It’s very rarely they come up, whether that means they are very rare is another matter, As you say someone could be sitting on a few boxes like The SkateShop was with the first Sablosky and Shiner I think ...

Lipbombs were a super desirable wheels bitd, a lot harder to get in white too

Anyone pick up the West Country ? It was a decent enough price for it.

Can you post a photo?

There were different versions if it’s this shape then similar time line to CX66 double Conicals late 79 to 83ish

They did a thinner Rollerskate version which Variflex copied but I think it was 63mm and then 65 and 70 mm in this shape.

This is crap but it falls into the Classic sentimental British crap category lots of ads in Skateboard! Etc and not too badly priced especially if you’re from the Bristol area. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/296432736018?itmmeta=01HY1Q1DTWGEFAHEEBAERCM0YJ&hash=item4504c49712:g:mmsAAOSwk3RmFACR&itmprp=e ...
