Most of you are too young to remember, but back in the 70's there were two adds in every Skateboarder Magazine, Val Surf and Kanoa, with these amazing little boxes with different set ups, maybe 30 per page.
While trapped in the snow of New England, I'd pour over those pictures figuring out what would be the perfect quiver. What high jump board, slalom board, freestyle, etc. It also had line by line costs for every single item, completes to sweatbands.
Now we have great sites like MHM that you can do this electronically, but in the old days this three color glossy skate porn helped me while away many hours.
Thanks for the buyers guide, skategeezer. It's really fun to see it all in one place like that and to make my boyhood pastime/fantasy into a contest, we'll that's fairly mind blowing.
Perhaps you can also assist with my Kate Jackson/Susan St. James sandwich fantasy.....
