Nice board here!
Does anyone know what trucks were originally used on a stock Sims pure juice board?
Also, whoever was looking for a mint Bahne, I have one I might trade for something?

Paul,
P.O.P. used to also have an amusement park along with the pier. That is what all of the debris is in and along the water in the new "Dogtown" documentary. Before Dogtown and the Z crew, we used to go there and ride the coasters and such in 1965 with the Hobie Team. Even though I'm from Northern California, P.O.P. is a part of my history.

Thanks guys, I will definately have to think a bit more, this is the pier where they used to lob stuff at people who surfed on their patch aint it. I believe the footage in downhill motion with the guys in the zephyr shirts is taken there? I love watchin downhill motion, specially the pool bits, and the downhill, the bit with the cat is funny too

Yandall Wheels

I am, as many of you know, an average skater from the midwest who weighs about 40 pounds more than I should.
I just had to put on this forum that I ran a set of old Yandall wheels (bright yellow) in the GS at the Presidio TLP Battle by the Bay race, and they rocked. I thought they were yandall slaloms, but eric groff said he thought they were different. 60mm or so, wide like an oj slalom, big lip, about 90a.
This was a serious hill, that several folks decided not to run because of lack of a run-out. Several of the SSS crew and others were running OJ slaloms on the back of their boards, but my little Yandalls held my 210# to the ground around some pretty big offsets at speed-it was awesome. Imagine how a great skater could have done on em!

With Bob Turners passing yesterday, I feel the little humor I was hinting at about my Blackbird is somehow misplaced.
I will cherish this skater for the rest of my days.
Thanks for the board Bob. I knew it was made for me.

Hey Duane. I didn't know thw MotorMorons were still around. They opened for a band I was in in DC years ago. Sort of a surf/noise thing. I remember they had a guy that "played" a bench grinder with a big can. What a racket. I used the name 'cause I'm sort of an all purpose gearhead; bikes, karts, cars, whatever. So is than old concrete skatepark near baltimore still there? are there other carve/slalom types around our area? let me know. -Eric.

G&S

SSofS,
FibreFlex was indeed there in the sixties. At the Anaheim International Skateboard Championships, May 22/23, 1965 we competed against their team. Willie Phillips won the Slalom on a G&S FibreFlex. G&S did so well in the Slalom with their "flex" boards that they took second overall in the team competition. There were about three hundred contestants.
If you want pictures, contact either Ed Economy or Skatelab. They both have copies of the Quarterly Skateboarder, volume #3. This magazine and also volume #1 & #2 have ads for the "New" G&S Fibreflex. It has a photo of the board being run over by a car and not breaking. Volume #3 has many articles of the International Championship as well.
Gordon And Smith with Larry Gordon was there in the early days and was one of the true pioneers of the sport.

'I gotta question
as serious as cancer...'
As per usual it's re Fibreflex...
When exactly did GnS launch the brand? Ive heard 'the 60's' mentioned a lot but never seen a pic or read of a specific model pre-70's. Even Alvin's Kickturn site has never seemed to show anything beyond the familiar stuff (OK, lots of rare and unusual variatioms, but 70's anyway...)
Any of you got pix or details of earlier stuff?
Thanks

Roller Sport Mark IVs

My guess is that those Roller Sport Mark IV wheels are not truly as red as they might appeara in the photograph. I have a couple sets of these wheels and the raw, clear urethane color has "yellowed" so badly over the years that they appear red at a glance. Being viewed with a red board as background probably completes the illusion.

Scabs, that Roller Sports setup is cool. Did you know that board is made of Lexan? Just an FYI. Cool red RS MK IV's too, don't think I have ever seen 'em in red.

Whoever said Bobo was out of line for wanting $5 for small pivot cups was mistaken, as six sold on ebay yesterday for exactly $5.05 each, shipped.
