That's pretty cool Brady! I have a surfboard from Jack's Surf Shop it's an 8' longboard from '61. I imagine that thing is worth a lot these days too!

24" Jacks Bonzai lamenated Hardwood $12.95
30" Jacks Bonzai genuine chicago parts and wheels $14.95
36" Pipeline Built for Slaom Racing $18.95
(their typo not mine sloam/slalom)

Dogtown Bigfoot

I have a Dogtown Bigfoot (?) up for auction on eBay and I noticed a difference between mine a some other Bigfeet. Check out the wheel wells in my picture. They are not just put in by a cylindical beltsander, they appear to be sculped into the wood in almost a dish shape which then transitions to the stepdown type beveled edge.
Can any Dogtown experts out there tell me if this is a very early release of this deck or am I crazy in remembering this to be a Dogtown Bigfoot at all. What other deck of the era had these dimensions?
Wes, Hugh, anybody? Are you out there? Help me out here.
Man, I hate eating a big piece of crow pie, but I will do it.
The auction:

Leo, those could be worth quite a bit, a "set" of 4, two green two orange, is up to $86 on ebay, not finished yet http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1008399275
If alva is printed they are later and probabaly not worth as much

Tway, I'm interested in aquiring a Blizzard SL in good shape. I'm not a collector but I always wanted to race one of those boards. Maybe you'd like to trade for something? How does a Comet graphite sound? let me know at johnoshei@aol.com

70mm Green Krypto's

(12.80.nnn.nnn)
DOM- the green 70mm kryptos were SCARY as were any Krypto 70mm for slalom. I hooked up a set of red 78a's for one race and ended up on my head and hip. Try em on the front first. Maybe a combo of the OJ's on the rear. My fave setup was green 65 factory slaloms on the front and depending on how tight a course (the ARA courses were tough ones) would use the blue compound. Play with it....

I see a skateboard on Ebay has Sims Bowlriders and what they call, Sims Vectors.
Any ideas about the Vectors. I have a set of the or maybe a clone set but don't know when they came out or what their deal was.

Dom:
O.Js are GREAT! slalom wheels,best used on the rear for they aren't xtra fast in comparison of other harder wheels, but they grip nicely and when they break loose they are very predictable!

Picked up my first vintage board today at a yard sale for a dollar. Wanted to know if anyone had any info on it. Its a Variflex "Newporter" solid wood board 24" long and 6" wide. Championship Urethene Wheels. The bottom says "Jimbo MPL" and it looks like it has a red sun on it? Still has the safety sticker and inspection sticker on it.
By the way I took it for a spin and was amazed at how well it carves, maybe cause I am used to longboards.

Old kryptos

The old yellows were incredibly soft, supposedly 75a but really softer, wore out very quickly. Blue and red compounds measured softer than the advertised values, too. Orange c-62 and c-68 slalom wheels were 85a actual, don't know about other orange wheels like the "Krytpo" roller skate wheels.

Dom,Reds are 78A,Blues 86A(early),88A after 1979,Greens are 93A. Yellow,Pink,Orange were specialty compounds,with some differences in durometer depending on the wheel's mission.Gilmour or Rene would know what's up with those.
