Product Info
Tracker pivots
On 2/24/2002 Duane wrote in from (63.38.nnn.nnn)

ACS red or orange pivot bushings fit tighter, and work better, than the original trackers. The original ones begin to rattle almost immediately as the acetal is permanently deformed, worse if your truck pivot is worn (common on well used sets). Urethane like the ACS is a better choice. email me if you come to greif, I'll fix you up.

Tracker baseplt.
On 2/22/2002 Paul D wrote in from (154.5.nnn.nnn)

Does someone have 1 small pivot Tracker baseplate to sell? I don't mind if the kpin is busted but it should have as few scratches as possible.
Also, remember those taperkicks copies I mentioned I was going make a few weeks back ?I'm still at it , half way . I've been really busy with other stuff so I don't have much time for this project. I've given 2 away and I might have 2 to sell (7 1/2X36 & 9X36) if anyone wants one.

1967 Goofy foot
On 2/19/2002 Hobbienut wrote in from (172.132.nnn.nnn)

At the age of 8 in 1967, learned to ride on a rock hard wood, metal wheeled,30in skate board, called a goofy foot. If I can still find it I'll see if I still bust my rear the same.

My Blue Leemo/Hester.
On 2/19/2002 Preston wrote in from (65.129.nnn.nnn)

Hey Duane how the hell did you remember that? It's been a while since that race, I have'nt changed a thing on that board except the bearings (Powell ceramics now)and that's it. As for a photo I'd love let the skateboard lovin' world have a good long look, as soon as I find the damn camera.
Thanks for mentioning me,and my creation., Oh yeah I should mention the other stuff. Trucks:First genrtn.Seismics,Wheels:Kryptonics 76mm reds, and soft clear wedge risers.

Preston's leemo
On 2/19/2002 Duane wrote in from (68.15.nnn.nnn)

A pic of this board would be cool, its a G&S leemo re-cut to the G&S hester slalom shape, painted blue with the rubber grip cut to the Hester pattern, made me go "Wazzat???" at the DC Downhill when I saw it. Looks just like a giant hester and probably works like one, too.

Old style rubber griptape
On 2/17/2002 Preston wrote in from (65.129.nnn.nnn)

You want that old style rubber griptape come to me, when you've restored as many old Fibre Flex decks as I have you start to keep the stuff around. I've got a 30ft. roll of it if you want some I'll charge you $3.00 per foot.

How's about a vintage downhill page ? I've seen some cool stuff from time to time (Ed Economy's page, and Dave G's quiver come to mind), but not anything comprehensive. In the day, being young and 2800 mi from california, I mostly got to hear about this stuff, not see it first-hand.
