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.

yes i remember the bristol adverts,cant say i ever bought anything from them though but they seemed to advertise all the time so it must have been a decent sized place. anyone ever go there?

Interesting when something pops up on ebay and how it often it’s the missing piece to a puzzle, as with this English attempt of 1977. I’ve owned possibly the same board for many years, I imagine bought to remove a decent set of wheels? Never knew it’s history but held for nostalgia. Amazing what was manufactured in the UK especially as American kit dominated the market!
Missing logo, but with info on the underside to it’s origins.

pilot powercraft,never heard of them wonder if they made any other parts?

Now you can start the long search for a Bristol Skateboard Centre sticker

how about this for a kicktail? not sure if its a deck or a piece off an arm chair

if you push your foot down on that tail it would just flip you off

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

Not sure on this one, anyone else think the top logo is a home made stencil, with signs of over spray. I’d suggest a Conway fibreglass deck which were made in Newquay by John Conway, historically known for their surfboards.
Any thoughts?
