Hi there! I'm really happy that the deck has gone to a good home... I'm guessing this was a deck destined for me in 2004, built by the amazing Gareth Roe. By this time however I had designed my own shape, which Gareth had built as a custom foamcore. So I no longer needed the Crossfire that was on order, it was on the new deck that I won the Amateur Tight Slalom Title the next year at the World Champs.Look after that deck, Gareth builds them with magic inside!A bientot,Martin

Recently, I removed for the first time the grip of my old lovely ROE cross fire.I was stocked when I discovered under the the grip, the name of Martin DRAYTON, a date, and the signature of Mr ROE himself!the first time I met Martin, it was for the slalom world cup in Antibes (France). It was the first time for me access to the final....And Martin drop me out! it was an honnor for me, I had so much respect for that rider!For the litle story, I bought this board brand new in 2005, during the World Cup in Paris, from a pro-rider (I prefer not to say his name, I don't know if he was able to sell this board !)I put a new grip, but I let on it a window to preserve to my eyes this incredible signature!Martin, if you read this post, could you tell me the story of this board?thanks.

AxcelspringA skateboard deck formed of laminated layers having increased twisting resistance around its center axis provided by fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite members running along the center axis and cross members extending toward side edges. Side members positioned between pairs of cross members provide additional torque resistance and energy storage for use in springing the board.

Thanks STIG for the shout out!!! That dude totally knows what FOILED CONCEPTS is all about. I just need to get him out of the surf and get him to skate more often...The STIG is the biggest Board Whore I ever met! Rumor has it that he is sitting on about 50 freaking boards that he needs to shift to pay for his new quiver, airline flights and contests...what a life!

Does anyone have or know of someone who has either a G&S Steve Cathey or Greg Taie Model G&S FibreFlex Deck they might be willing to sell? Yes I am always looking for something aren't I? Well these are the last 2 decks that I am actively searching for so since there were not many of these made I am sure they will be quite difficult to find. But if you can help me out, I sure would appreciate it.

The search for an NOS GS Lite has ended. A friend in the UK has located me one!!!
And this is the same guy who helped me find a NOS G&S Free Rider. I had never met him before but he has been very helpful and honest in my search for a few outstanding decks for my collection. A BIG THANKS to Laurie from the UK!!!

I had a Hooger Booger Skateboard that I got off one of the snowboard reps years ago. I don't remember how long it was (30"maybe?) but it was wood, had rocker, and was probably my favorite board of all time.
Unfortunately I took it to the local bar (The Alamo in Park City, Ut), was slightly "overserved", and forgot it.
That's the last I ever saw of it.
Don't know how much it's work but I would probably give you a couple hundred bucks although I suspect you could probably get more.

I believe I may have located one in white but need to verify the size with dimensions since I am making an overseas purchase to get one. Can anyone help me out quickly???

Heres the new quiver just in time for Hood River...both with the new "Crowbar" footstops.
The SLE tight slalom model, 30" with 18-19" wheelbase...
Now joined by the HGS for Hybrid and Giant Slalom, this is a proto the production version will have the integrated tail wedge and some tail concave.
It has 20, 21 & 22" wheelbases to cover all eventualities, 34" x 9.25", stiff flex and pumps like a Sailor on a Saturday Night!
See you at Hood!
Martin.

Thanks PSR for the info. I never thought anything about the skateboard but when an avid skater saw it, he almost flipped! He offered me $20.- for it because he was a student. I'm glad that I didn't give it to him.

I have a k2 evolution 4 up for sale. Amazing carving board. Missing the metal pole and I have replacement wheels on it. The deck and trucks are in great condition. One of the best carvering boards and truck made. Made in Austria for K2 and only available in the US for a couple of years.

Siu, that's gotta be a limited-production board. Hooger Booger did only a few years of skateboards (mid 80's into early 90's), and never got them stateside except for the small handful some of their Snowboard Reps had for display purposes. When Scott bought into Hooger ('93?), the skateboards were discontinued. I couldn't place a value (as I've seen Blizzards, Hots, and Pogos fluctuate wildly in value), but you've got a rare one (certainly from a U.S. POV) on your hands!

Does anybody know the the value of an original 1970's Swiss Hooger Booger Skateboard in 'almost' perfect condition; was probably used 3-4 times. Thanks

your post reminds me of my earliest snowboard ,a sims, one of the early ptex bottomed boards those had fins,somewhere between burton and winterstiks in technology the velcro bindings were not that precise for carving but they did let me tweak my "japan airs" pretty good. In the second season on the sims and it started to delam so it was time to go to a foam core morrow with edges because one or two ski mountains had opened to snowboards. The think the sims snowboard was the same e glass laminate they used in the snubnosed jaysmiths.

Kinda reminds me of Jake, after 'Thaning Backhills by hand, saying they'd out carve ANY snowboard (of the day), not realizing that Wintersticks already had P-tex, metal edges, and sidecut. ;-D

the guy doing the "birdplane" longboards, if you go to his web page he says his boards "are made from 10 ply russian birch also known as hardrock maple" that's a fairly accurate quote, i didn't bother going back there to check the exact wording,but he definitely needs some ventilaton in his graphics studio:)
