I grew up in Cheyenne Wyoming and rode a lot of things from Colorado like Kryptonics, BoulderBoards. Two really quality decks I had from Boulder(I think) were the E.H. Wallboard and Tritan. Anyone have any pictures of them?
Thanks - Paul

Alva made a fine beam deck.
I used one for a while during my Pepsi demo's
for the ramp-riding.
( Thanks Pete Zender )
They had a cool design -how it came off the front truck.
Light as heck.
Here's a pic of one I'm holding in front of me.
Take care,

Calvin I can tell you a ton about Boulder Boards
- They produced the SAlba and Malba K-Beam models
- The produced the SHogo Airbeam and Muir Triplane
- They produced the Varaiflex Grisham ( and I think a few others)
- They did have their own brand as well and were popular with Boulder locals
- your Board is most likely from 79-80
Post a pic!

I was looking for information on a company from possibly late 70's into the early 80's called Boulder Boards. A kid in my neighborhood found one in a dumpster yesterday. It was just an early pig deck with a couple of vintage Town & Country stickers on it. Anyways... if anyone out there used to ride them or knows anything about the history of the company please let me know @ freshholemaker@yahoo.com.
Thanks!

I know that Jack Smith did it in 32 days in 1976, but was he the first? If not who was?

Yandall's feet

"Hamburger Feet" is the correct term, Herbn.
I've seen Kenny Mollica run cones, Fast, on a vintage slalomboard, barefoot.
I can't imagine doing ANY of the activities I used to Barefoot. 'Tenderfoot' is now what I am...
'73-74 were my summers w/o shoes on my skateboard, but a broken beer bottle alongside the road changed that (well, Mom's reaction to my bloody foot..), and I was Forced to wear shoes. The tradeoff was being able to footbrake, and survive using 'ratrap' bicycle pedals.

what the hell are those lumps and stuff,infections? bruises? they don't even look like you could wear shoes. how long did it take for them to look normal again after you decided you might try to wear shoes.

After all these years, a misspelling in a large publication causes all kinds of problems. Thanks to Photoshop, I was able to remove the "E" and replace with "A".
So when you open this publication where this page is to be found, don't forget this page posted above corrects the Error! dang i wish i had photoshop back in the 70's! but no PC's existed back then! times have changed!

What skateboard is this?

Does anybody know what skateboard this is? I would appreciate all hints! It is 31X10 inches. It has a sticker that says "Custom skateboards Gordon and Smith" but that doesn't necessarily mean it is a G&S board, it may have been added. There is no other branding. It is said to be at least 10 years old.

I was talkin the other day with The Brown Bomber
-how we ( My Bros. ) and I would skate @ Liberty Park
in Westminster, in the early 1970'S...
...and when we met Gale Webb there.
She was was riding a steel board
that looked kinda like a manhole cover material -
and Richy told her : "Don't ride that !"
This was WAY before the Powerflex Team days.
Gale is one THEE NICEST PEOPLE EVER - - -
IN SKATEBOARDING !
Gale is a 'TRail BLaZeR' for women skaters everywhere !
As far as those Carrasco Backyard ramp pics -
I'm lookin'....I'm lookin'....
Concerning THE BAND ~
I posted a RAD video live link on the SLALOM FORUM.
A lot of people reading this -
probably heard this song before !
Take care,

Likewise it opened up my world too. We went right out and built two opposing banks. they were rickety as heck, but it was a start. By late 77, we were building one-hit tranny ramps (qtr pipes- in today's language). Spring 78 we were building halfpipes.
that wave ramp was really jazzed me.
