"collecting" hasselblads he says. uh... Wow$

**Dancer** · 11-02-2009 03:01 PM

A lot of these.

I paid for these, minus the hangers, this morning:

He said he'd have them shipped today. Now to take a router to my Killswitch to make them fit. Hopefully hanger bite isn't an issue.

Just ordered one, can't wait

haha ok so I can't pass this up, there is really only one fact that can settle this argument: is Pimm on this site anymore or not?? thank you and good day.

yes, my brother and I both owned Legendary Merlins and YES we both hated the #### out of them. Pimm is a cockface and makes poorly constructed boards and then makes excuses as to why they are poorly designed saying that "they are cheap
but if he had any sense he would never have designed the Merlin so crappily

I hope you realize youre not being less mature than anyone to whom you are referring to. And by the way, there are plenty of videos of people carving, dancing, tricking, and generally having fun skating on legendary boards. You don't have to go 50mph down a mountain to make a gnarly video. Knock it off

yeah,he is 83 yrs old and has bought 1 or 2 new ones each yr for like 25 yrs.
i cant even imagine what they are worth.

**8ftbed** · 11-02-2009 04:11 PM

It'd be fun and interesting to see all of those together. Even better yet to have him narrating. I bet he's got a cool story or two attached to each purchase. Spend time around him while you can.

the photos and old stories of Brooklyn back in the 30s are amazing tales.
he hordes everything due to growing up real poor during the depression era.
now that i am 40 kind of appreciate being around him more then when i was a teen.
he has taught my wife how to take photos and different techniques and gave her 2 cameras last Christmas,she wont even let me touch them.
he tells me i like her better then you ,you are a spoiled brat and she cooks better then you.
i guess i know who will one day get that collection

@pennypusher - that rocks! (guess you better be sucking up to el wifey) If you haven't tried it, see if you can get some of his ramblings on video. I love hanging out with the (really) old and hearing the stories.

Speaking of stories - I just heard my NELSON Freerider has shippped. Woot!! Pics by this weekend after some grippage and setup.
