I was tidying up today puting freshly arrived decks away before my missus started asking where they came from so I checked the tracknology's and all three sizes 62,65&68 are just the normal flatback offset bearing not sure if they came in 70mm
as for belair bolts yea skatepool has a stack of them must get another set as I traded my last set for used megatron trucks,but I also used to have a belair lipcone just the one it was orange as well but conical backed.
anyboby want to part with a set of megatron mark baker,s or a used set of alva flatbacks

Lipbombs

I have some good shots of NOS white Lipbombs on my site. Also a set of the Red ones, that we called Cherry Bombs back then if memory serves me correctly.
I think the set on Ebay last week were roller skate wheels. The logo's are different, and the wheels looked tall and narrow, not like the ones I have.
Got some NOS Wings conicals too, great wheel.
check them out - www.skateboardzoo.com

I remember the lip bombs being white, very white. If I recall correctly some of them had red logos ? Not sure, my memory of those years seems to be somewhat impaired...

Belair Lipbombs

In '78 or '79 I was working at Glasswave skatepark in Gaithersburg MD. Chaput was riding for Belair boards at the time, and subsequently was at this particular park every now and then. Somehow, I was in the right place at the right time (that, or he dug my 8 wheeler) and I was flowed a set of early lipbombs. 4 shiny perfect cylinders of cantaloupe colored polyurethane perfection. I threw them on my homemade 32" Chapstick copy (maybe that was it)and began to fakie in the full pipe (actually it was missing the top 1/6). I had fakied up to about vert, and was going to start kickturning and "floating" above vert, so I pumped extra hard to get a particularly good drive up the wall, and those lipbombs were so much faster than anything I'd ever ridden that I simply rode right out of the top of the pipe. At that point, if you just fell off the top edge, you've got about a 10' freefall to the bottom, which I did, landing gracefully flat on my back, with my left foot wedged all the wrong way under my ass. It made a enormous noise, as these were hollow fiberglass molded ramps, so everyone looked, all agape. What I couldn't see, was that my board had launched into the rafters, and was teetering on top of the flourescent light fixture, from which it fell, like 20', and speared me squarely in the solar plexus. Later, I thought the Chapstick inspired blunt nose was a really good idea. I figured the best thing to do was to hop up like nothing was wrong, and just skate off and privately lick my wounds in the malodorous splendor of the skateguards lounge, but as I tried to stand up I kept inexplicably falling over, evidently as a result of my left ankle being purple, and rapidly swelling to the eventual size of a grapefruit. The whole deal put the kabosh on the rest of that summer with regard to skating, bikeracing and anything else, but those Lipbombs were the business, I'll tell you that.

Bolts were definitely orange, someone in the UK has a huge stash of them NOS. Never liked them much, the Wings were better. I liked the lip bombs for being essentially "new school" before that meant anything, a good ramp wheel that I used to good effect on my own ramp. Shops in MD were always well-stocked with Belair stuff, for obvious reasons. A good set of lip bombs just sold on eBay, a little ink rubbed off but otherwise NOS, the logos rubbed off if you even looked at them cross-eyed.

I can't believe I forgot Belair made white wheels,but then again,I had Orange Bolts ( I think they were Bolts? Blazers came in blue? Maybe.). I also am wrong on the Traknology being 'centered' bearing,but,I think they had a 2/3rds bearing placement (like the pre-core 70mm Kryptos had),although it could've been that they just looked Skinny on my friend's Warptail.. One more white wheel was FreeFormer's Ty Gold,also available in 'black gold'..Don't want to know what 'white gold' would've refered to.

We had Excellerator's over here in the UK, I think the logo's team used them ,madrat has photos of them on his site skateboardzoo.com. I always liked the look of them as for Tracknology I have a couple of scruffy sets some white some coloured but don't think they are centred bearing I'll have to check.

didn't think anybody outside of the atlanta area had ever heard of those
i firmly believe they were the hardest, fastest, most resilient park wheel at that time (early '78?)
the early pours flat spotted terribley and i don't think they ever overcame the bad rep

I have a set of well used white, now yellow early Bones with the red lettering on the back, maybe open to offers. Another classic white wheel was the belair lipbombs. But my fav was the white YoYo's, still use a set today, still dont know the difference between Pro and Normal YoYo,s anybody.

Herbn,others from the late 70's era; Snakes(White was the harder formula,but not as hard as the non-see-thru Red),Yo-Yo's(white was a softish 86A),Traknology(early centered bearing double radius,and Fast!),Excellerator(again,a Fast Pool wheel),and lastly the Hobie Freestyle (96a?,Damn hard,small,but spun Dale "the Sausage Man" REALLY well in spin contests). That's all I can recall from '77-'78 in White wheels. BTW,the blue Kryptos went from being 86a to 88a when the C-Series came out-Although the C-62 + C-68 'blues' are harder,I think;definately different in feel and grip. The Krypto stuff was refferred to in the 'decks' forum,I just put my query up Here,not There.

100mm Kryps

While in Pittsburgh last week I found my old 100mm Kryptonics downhill wheels. These were made in the spirit of the 4" UFO's and for drag racing only. Made around 1984. I'll post pics with Hugh once I get them cleaned up. I painted the sided black to "stealth" them at the time. They are "red", same as current race cores, and have the small, black c-series core. Kinda heavy but decent 'thane. Has anyone ever seen another one, let alone a set, of these ??? They are custom-ground on the outside so I suspect the mold was a one-off. Wondering what the eBay value would be, worried about establishing provenance (I got them free directly from an engineer at Kryptonics whose name was Bob but that's all I remember).

Buyer emailed me and wasn`t sure if it was a reissue so I sent him a pic from Mark at poolskater.com`s site.
Now I see the auction has ended. Glad to see the seller did the right thing.
Figures GBJ would come thru w/da latin :-)
