Fibreflex Bowlrider/Teamrider

Has anybody tried a rockered board for slalom? I have a NOS Teamrider that`ll never be mounted but I`m trying to get Debs over at Fibreflex to re-issue it. I had a 2nd version Bowlrider back in the day specifically set up for slalom. Light flex and plenty of room for da feets. Almost identical to Arab`s Herr Vaunster (I probably misspelled it) in shape but with rocker (opposite of camber).
If any interest either contace Debs or me.

downhill motion

Had a private screening of Downhill Motion at JulieCat, and Psycholoyd's house tonight. Although I've seen it before, it still strikes a chord that rings true.
I highly recomend anyone who hasn't at least seen it to check it out, and if you don't own a copy, you should.
Not an advertisement, just help; you can purchase it from ebay (type it in) or from pushplay.com (jack smith) either way, its about the same 14bucks with shipping, and the best skate vid. for the money hands down. Whats up brief shot of turner downhill with phoenix's...and of course soooooo much more. Is today a surf day or a skate day?!!??
roll on-

G&S

It's genuine. They made a bunch that were mainly for consumer markets in the 70's. You wouldn't have found this one at Val Surf, possibly Big-5.
Not worth much.

Anyone recognise this as a genuine G&S board it looks the part and the 3 hole truck pattern must put it around 75 or earlier

Split axles

On 11/25/2001 Duane
wrote in from
(63.21.nnn.nnn)
Finally another set of split axles like mine. Mine are the earliest, with no tip on the kingpin for the support plates. I had a hazy memory that the plates were a secondary response to complaints of broken kingpins. A board that just showed up on ebay has splits with no tips. Anyhow, if someone must have a set, they're up there now.

I looked through my quick access oldy mags here at the shop but no Taie references,as far as i can remember he was an early (70s)G&S team member ,i seem to recall his models being small 25,26 inch cutaways,he may have been sort of overshadowed by Hester(care to comment?)perhaps a flatground wiggler,I'm just starting to guess or fill in between the lines,later.

Now that I've had the pleasure of paying too much for this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1025933006
I'd like to be able to put it right as original. Does anyone have an old mag issue or other source that shows what this looked like originally ? The gas tank is missing and I'd like to put one on that looks original. I've wanted one of these things for as long as I can remember. Looks like this one is pretty good, that may be a great original graphic on the top, or a Grateful Dead dancing bears sticker. I love the v-lam, a Motoboard with soul, what more could you ask for ? I was waiting for the dreaded hugh308 to swoop down on this auction, didn'thappen, he probably already has one.

StevieB - I read that Benjyboard had the company who poured Wings make their superboots - hence the similarity. I think it was mentioned in an old copy of 'Skateboard'.

Duane,Scabs, the cal-240 is on it's way to my house, thanks. It's funny how many of those little boards there were and how much fun kids got out of them. Nobody cared how crappy they were, it was fun to just role around.

Do you think the guy selling that bunch of skategear would take a pair of gold wedding rings(no longer required) in exchange:-)
Another guy I worry about used to buy on e-bay using the name'wifesgonakillme' sadly I haven't seen him on there in a while and wonder did she?
