Free vintage(?) board!!

**VulgarDisplayCFH** · 05-12-2008 08:03 PM

A friend of mine gave me a board he had in his garage.

It's a longer board, probably about 11 inches wide at the widest point. It has both a nose and a tail. It has the same exact graphic as the Stigmatas but on a blue stain. It probably is a Stigmata. But the grip is a bit different. Same graphic, but instead of the SM cross it has a bullseye with the words "Neil Pryde International" around it. I'm not sure if it's connected to the windsurfer.

There are 3 trucks mounted. They look like Indy Stage 1 215's, not sure though. And 70mm Classic Red 'thane Krypto Classics. The wheels are side set. I'm almost positive, but because of how dirty they are, the bearings I think are sealed.

Very interesting, the thing is a TANK. Probably be an amazing ditch ride.

I'll get pics up soon.

Why sand and stain it? it looks like its in great shape to me. Clean it up (esp. truks, wheelz, bearings...), but don't re-finish it that's my advice.

What's up with the weird holes in front of the front truck? Do they look like they were made at the factory or by a previous owner?

BTW, that thing is rad!

**VulgarDisplayCFH** · 05-13-2008 10:23 AM

I'm not going to refinish it. I love the graphic on it. It's got a strange rocker though..

I emailed Skip Engblom about it, see if he can shed some light.

I'll probably take the trucks off and clean em up, maybe clean the bearings. I'm not going to do to much to it though.

Here is a old board and weels (1), I have the other ones on a board i made . I found the board and weels in my dads garage. How old do you think they are.

That three trucks set up might be because the skate was set as a mini buttboard. You're supposed to ride it backwards, which means to sit where the two trucks are.
Old school pool boards work well as mini buttboards.
