Pre-1980 Vintage Gear (6027 Posts) Product Info Amtrak On 8/13/2002 PSR wrote in from (216.114.nnn.nnn) Considering the latest news on Bombardier-built trains,the bet may be whether you CAN get to Conn.! BTW,I had my heart set on the devasting combo's of blue/pink c-62's on my Hobie,and the 'pocket-rocket' Bahne. Now it's Green c-65's with Pacers or Red c-70's.Vintage Bearings!That'll even the playground!     Rate post 84677 !

Vintage bolts and bearings, all the way baby. Combined with my woeful lack of skills and essentially no practice, I will attempt to reproduce my last ride of the 70's: a complete and thorough shattering of my collar bone at Crofton skatepark, summer '79, thus ruining a promising career in pinball. Wow, the memories !     Rate post 84669 !

Also you may consider taking Amtrack as it stops in Stamford, Ct where you can pick up a local train to New Canaan, Ct which is 6 miles from the farm.     Rate post 84648 !

GS. We will then compare times from modern set-ups vs old school. We will record peoples set-ups next to their times. I am going to do one timed run on my Hester/Bennetts/RR2's and another on my kids Banzai w/ ACS 430 and tiny loose ball Powerpaws. A smell some side bets.     Rate post 84643 !

I'll admit that I'm still possessed of the antique notion that when absolutely fresh, carefully mounted and properly lubricated, loose-bearing wheels can be (temporarily) devastatingly fast.     Rate post 84627 !

Having just recently blown a head gasket in the GBJ-mobile and currently using a borrowed "piece o' junk" to get around, I probably won't be able to decide how and when I'm arriving until shortly before the trip.     Rate post 84624 !

You are correct, it will defiantly make things a bit more interesting. Look forward to seeing you soon. Will you be coming late Friday?     Rate post 84621 !

My pinks and blues, as well as a long-since stolen set of yellows all said "C-62" on the wheel. I think it's unfortunate that the pink and/or blue C-62s will not be permitted at Da Farm, but can definitely see that it'll make things more interesting. I'm going to have to start pulling vintage (non-slalom) wheels off of old "wallhangers" and see what'll run the best. Don't be surprised to see me show up on either white YoYos or a set of the old, hard, Belair Wings. Neither of them really have a lip that's favorable for slalom, but the YoYos might be worn enough to have created something of a flex-lip. My guess is that the Wings might be exceptional on a fast GS course, while the worn YoYos might work for tighter stuff.     Rate post 84603 !

It has suddenly occurred to me that my Ick, with the Rad Pad in froont, a Tracker Riser 1/2" riser in back and my Midtracks (in other words, my normal racing set-up) qualifies for the vintage race at Da Farm. I just need to set my ABEC11s aside.     Rate post 84586 !

There were other distinctions also that I can't remember exactly. (Wider? Deeper cutaway?) The H-Bomb is 28" and a much more common model. As a matter of fact, I believe the Cruz Missile was only in production for a couple of months whereas the H-Bomb was around for a couple of years (along with the Hut Cut Back.) From the looks of the Roe website, I would guess the the "Henry Hester Model" Roe has a plan similar to a Cruz Missile and the "Nina" is close to the H-Bomb.     Rate post 84573 !

I had an SC Graphite or two. The older one,kinda off green in color and with more camber was pretty nice,but later one(JG said it was a factory re-paint,not re-issue)was white with stripes and flatter.Neither one had the snap nor torsional stiffness of the Calypso.This board is what my Hobie wishes it could be.I haven't rode it very much(heck,I don't think it has been ridden much),like twice,thrice? But it impressed me;excellently setup,nimble,flowing.Really good for tight stuff.     Rate post 84436 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) Calypso better than SC? On 8/11/2002 W. Tucker wrote in from (64.12.nnn.nnn) Eric, are you suggesting the Calypso was/is superior to what Santa Cruz produced? The graphite loaded Hester/Hutson models were hard to bead (especially with Hut on one!)     Rate post 84385 !

Its as nice as he says, I rode it at Ball Dam last month. It would be a good tight slalom board for someone who can deal with smaller boards, the rear is really narrow. Contruction is pure Fibreflex. Shaggy is a perfectionist for his set-ups so the buyer can be assured that it will be ready to ride.     Rate post 84381 !

Tucker wrote in from (64.12.nnn.nnn) Oh, and someone in Bostons is selling a Bobby Turner-autographed full nose. The trouble is he hasn't posted any pics of it "face up." From the photos it's hard to tell if its vintage or a new Turner with old stickers on it. The set up is ragged out, but the board looks decent. Couldn't see any apparent dings or stress marks. P.S. They are not my board and I'm not bidding, so I guess there's no conflict of interest mentioning it here, is there?     Rate post 84377 !

Now TK check out the quiver attatchment I just e-mailed You and Behold sons of Ick stix manufactured by me in 1979 and 80. The models were Keith Hollien-Mark McCree- and Don Bostick. They were made of an imported (europe) 8 ply 1/4" thick (yes 8 ply 1/4")deck with a tapered Ash rib down the middle on the bottom. super light and "0" flex for Floating around cones. (Icks had "0" flex).     Rate post 84357 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) Old Icks (what other kind is there?)
