I just bought the last Creature Coffin ,The RipRider. The board came out just a few years ago and has made it a new classic. The board is made of plastic and clear black OJ's wheels. This will be a collectors idem no matter what. If you want to start collecting this one is a good one to start on even out of the box. I see this as one of the best boards to be from the newer years to be wanted later on in the future. Keep looking you might find one!!

Didn't that board come in a pretty elaborate box/packaging too?

If you are actually going to ride it (I ordered one to ride when they first came out), first and foremost you are going to add some 1/2" risers (and longer hardware obviously). I also added some orange Khiros on the front truck. Anyway, now the board can actually be ridden and turned with pretty nice action. The wheels are a little out of whack (real dissapointed actually), but for the sake of keeping the board as it came, I keep them in place.

Riding it right out of the box is a bit of a joke. I cannot understand why they didn't even add a 1/4" riser, even though that is enough. Even my 73lb son rubbed out on it. A low(ish) new school truck, with 60mm wheels and no wheel wells, and then they do not risers- go figure! It screams of new school board manufacturing trying to make a buck on old style stuff, yet without a real clue on how its supposed to ride. Toys-R-Us, I would suspect, but this is NHS!

Not sure if I ever told you, but I had that full nose's twin, except that it had white sprayed on the outer 1/2 inch of the rolled top, from the nose to behind the front wheels. Damned classic that.

Nice!!! I loved the painted rails. This one has the Turner logo on top and SummerSki on bottom, both airbrushed in light blue and white.

I haven't seen a set of these this good in a long time.

These are Kryptonics 70mm. They preceded the "C" or cored series kryptonics.

****. My pics always come out grainy. How do you get them to post clearly? I'm using a Canon Power Shot 7.1, they should be better. Thanks.

Nice!! I use the flower on mine. Try to stay still. Stand back and zoom inn. I wish I had some 70's. This is the first time I have found wheels this old and not in poor condition. How is it you have five? or is it six??

Thanks for the tips. I got these NOS along with some OJs from a shop in England about 10 years ago. This guy had boxes of them (they went pretty quickly). I would have bought more, but could barely get these without my wife getting vexed. I got the Kryptonics, OJs and a set of ACS 651s for $150. Anyway, one wheel had a small blem so the guy promptly sent out another one. So, one is still NOS. As for the other four...I couldn't resist.

Who can resist to old Kryptos ...
old school skaters (ie:old farts) always have a sweet spot for kryptos.
- as I do !


For Krypto fans:
sa ka roulé !

Edit. Five?

I've got no clue what this thing is:

I've got no clue what this thing is:

Indy base plates stage 8's and Web hangers on the trucks. I know that much. It looks like around the 90's on the deck brand ??

[FlyKneeGrow]

no photos, the setup was stolen many years ago, but back in the late 80s I had a Lucero Mini with some sort of Indys and a set of OJ Combos. I'd love to put together a rideable setup just like that again, it was fun to cruise and slide on. Anyone know what version the Indys would have been, back in 86 or so? I'd like to see photos of them and of the OJ Combos, and would love to find some NOS of each...

[GriffinSk8]

I know i have at least four diffract years. I know I sold a set of blue mag's from late 80's. Not happy about that.

[Bevilacqua]

@Griffinsk8: funny set up - but excellent idea: it seems to me you have a spacer between the nut and the bearing ?
Those "Kryptos kryptos" are looked down upon by collectors - but in my mind they are perfect for skateboarding.
Nice pink wheel !

actually the baseplates are Indy OLDER than stage 8. They're ONLY drilled old school. I stole the 169 hangers and just put crappy Grind King Hangers on that thing. haha so thats what you see there. I'm more interested in what the deck is.

Picky collectors these are going back on the road on my sisters board I am building. I agree there's nothing wrong with these wheels for skate boards. In my early day's roller skate wheels is all we had. I did see these going for $30.00 on eBay a few months ago.
