I couldn't resist showing off the top of the Lillis deck. Look what BoBo did with the grip tape...

What is missing.

I know at least one that I need Gareth. Expect an order for a med flex Hester in the spring.

Gotta have a Roe!

Missing from quiver...
On 2/12/2002 Gareth wrote in from (216.160.nnn.nnn)

Bobo-
I can think of a few boards, although not vintage, that would round out this quiver nicely!

Beautiful stuff - and even nicer that it all gets ridden and doesn't sit on a shelf!!

Later-
Gareth

The quiver
On 2/12/2002 BoBo wrote in from (151.196.nnn.nnn)

I know it looks to some like I'm just showing off a lot of disposable income, but fact is we ride all of these boards as often as we can.

I have a cheesy Variflex I use for vert and a Galaxy pig as well. I just love stuff from my age of skating I guess. It doesn't hurt that it's rare or nice either.


Thanks C-Money, wipe that chin.

When are you guys going to get some really neat, rare boards in your quiver?

Beautiful stuff, I'm drooling, too!

The "almost" complete Quadgal Racing quiver
On 2/12/2002 BoBo wrote in from (151.196.nnn.nnn)

Here is our quiver nearly complete. Quadgals quads are missing from this photo. We'll soon have a web page and site devoted to our lifestyle and quiver. But I figured I'd make a few more drool first.



Front to back


Reverse Freestyle Lillis model with 101's and Lester Marbles. G&S Response with Fultracks and Stingers. Turner Team Sims with HPG IV Gullwings and Stingers. Pleasure Poing Oak kicktail with NOS Bennett Pros and OJ Superjuice. Santa Cruz H-Bomb with small pivot Midtracks and Stingers. 90's Turner cut-away with small pivot Fultracks and Stingers. Old School Skate Jam pig [Who do you know that has one of these?] with Magnesium Sixtracks and G&S YoYo Rollerballs.

Quadgals skates are so kick ass they need their own pix [coming soon]. But suffice it to say they are the best.

Thanks for looking. Now wipe your collective chins.

I am starting to document some of the cooler vintage gear that I have collected... the orange 3" UFO's should be up in a bit... I am still hoping to get my 4" vintage collection going... I need the Road Riders and the UFO's...

I'll put a durameter on those Brewers and let you know... HR

The last of the Quadgal Racing boards
On 2/11/2002 BoBo wrote in from (151.196.nnn.nnn)

Here is that last of the Quadgal Racing boards for our quiver. It's been fun getting it complete for the upcoming season. I can now focus on other aspects of my skating {IE: PRACTICE!}

Been kinda crappy here in Charm City, but it looks to get better soon.

Brewer Speedsters
On 2/11/2002 C-Money wrote in from (207.152.nnn.nnn)

Just saw HughR's set of these on his site ("vintage 3" wheel collection" is th title, I think. Anyway, very impressive, Hugh. I had a set of these back in the day on a homemade 48" downhill deck. I loved em. It was really fun to see them, as I haven't seen one in 20 years! Wish I had a set.

Can't remember how hard these were? Any ideas?

Quicksilver reissues
On 2/8/2002 BoBo wrote in from (151.196.nnn.nnn)

I completely concur with TK on this. The reissue thing was soooo weak. If you reissue out there in skate land. Do it right, or not at all.

G&S did it right!



BoBo [Quadgal Racing]

PS: Even if it is a bit pricier. They'd still be cheaper than eBay by a damn site.

original quicksilvers
On 2/7/2002 tk wrote in from (165.247.nnn.nnn)

These old cone swervers ride beautifully, a very damp smooth ride with the right amount of camber and functional shape. My wife rode my 90kg and did damn well at la costa(made up for my sorry ass performance). This is the only deck that my full tracks feel perfect on. They should have redone them to original spec.

Beamer
On 2/7/2002 Herbn wrote in from (205.188.nnn.nnn)

Oh well, mine a bit rougher,ramp railslides no real abrasion ,just scuffs,o.g. tail, nose guard missing,but my wheels are better. Just a bit trivial,the nose bone remember the little ones? i think held on by two bolts,is it one of those. I figure my boards' worth about 5 bills.I traded a libtech and randals for it.

ebay double beamer
On 2/7/2002 Duane wrote in from (68.15.nnn.nnn)

The condition of the double beamer is excellent used. All graphics original and unscathed, original nose protector and tail protector intact. In fact, it looks like no one ever board slid on this one, just light scratches on the beams.

Double beamer
On 2/7/2002 Herbn wrote in from (64.12.nnn.nnn)

Do the pics of that one that's on ebay right now show up on anybodys monitor,they're mostly black smudges on mine,i see silver for the trucks so they're not mags.I got the same board in 32x10.75,with skid in good to excellent condition,but the graphics were "cleaned off" back in the day,stage one indys ungrinded w/grind masters and megatron bushings ,and i put my blue V IV mini cubics on there. I'd like to see in what condition that other beamer is.Min has mostly pizza deck to, and original gnarly clear too.

Someone was looking for megatron trucks here awhile back, there's an NOS one (1 only) up on eBay, also the bushings shown.

Yeah, It was the wooden one. I think mine was the first on EBay. The price dropped steadily from there.

These are 66mm they never were as sought after as the 62mm And w/ the Stingers/LaCosta's they have become less desireable as a whole

Kirt, are we talking about the same board - Powell Quicksilver reissue? I am almost sure that the reissue is wood not aluminum.....is that the same board you had for auction?

Yes you did get a deal. I sold mine a year ago for 175.00 on ebay. They are nice and definitely are collectible. Good job.

Joe T,
Debs said about 3 weeks so check with her direct on volume purchasing at...

debs@fibreflex.net

I also checked out your page and had difficulties navigating it but I did come across the page with Teamriders. Is that orange 30" Teamrider a solid orange or an orange stain?
