I took this to the last Harbor 100 cone race, and during practice, I set a short (20 cone) course at 3' centers, and was able to run it clean. Took a few runs on the 100 cone course, and I was double pumping every cone...
    That Skate Key has gone to hell and back but still works. I would like to see you ride that fiber board on a 100 cone run I bet it was a sit to see. double pumping that little monster!! Thanks for the pic's{ keep them coming} people its the only way that we are going to make this ketch on. Use old guy's need to show off our {Quiver} Too the younger people. It's showing the History off skateboards in the making and how far it's gone!!!
    Thanks

    Holy smokes, that looks old. It also looks a lot like the Val Surf oaken boards, but who can tell after all the fun that board has obviously been a part of? Did you get that via international mail order, or were you in the Valley as a kid?

    Recently unearthed from a neighbor's basement:

    An orange Grentec GT with GT trucks and wheels, also orange.
    I haven't explored the bearings yet, but from the few scoots I've had around on it, they could certainly use some lubing/replacment.

    (I welcome any easy/gentle cleaning tips..)

    Regardless, a fun artifact of a previous era.

    Thane, I think this is a great idea, and I hope it turns into full
    section of silverfish.. You have one the craziest collections,
    man just photos alone of your collection would be a feast
    for the eyes...

    Here is some old school and new school work of Bobby Turner. Turner and Ick Sticks are some of the greatest skates from the old school era. Bobby and Rick were way ahead of the game. I am a Turner Junkie no doubt.

    I know this one is a little beat up but it was well loved and its a Compass Skateboards
    Encinitas CA. The gripe is something that I have only seen once before on a new board in the 70's it's a plastic type of gripe. When this was new the gripe would cut your fingers good like a cheese grater.

    In 1986 my friend built this deck in La Jolla High School. Johnie could surf 10.0 long boards and he was only 5.5 feet tall. I was a freshman and John was a senior. I got the board from a neighbor a few years later. My friend crashed this deck into a pole and cracked the fiber glass. I stripped it a few years and want to add the fiber back on soon. OG old school.
    Thanks
