I think Eurostile is closest. Unless Micro is a version that's just avoiding copyright problems by nicking the font matrices and renaming them!     Rate post 320255 !

The font used for the original logo is Microstyle Bold Extended.     Rate post 320234 !

Really the only two parts on my skateboard that needs replacing is the skid plate(rear) and the nose guard. Everything else seems to be in pretty good shape.

(also, do you guys remember they came with bearings) I helped unpack quite a few shipments and gawking at the new stuff. The only time roadriders were in a package was when they were packeaged for marketing in department stores. Bennett trucks were the same way. And yes they were typically packaged as Hobie.     Rate post 320066 !

Was it a team rider deck only? It is one of my favorite boards (which I take out and ride occasionally, albeit carefully)Thought it's about time I knew more about it. Thanks in advance for the help!! BTW, Tom's packaged RR4's are legit and really nice looking!     Rate post 319910 !

Everyone I talk to thinks I'm crazy because I say they are in a package. If anyone else would like to see proof, just e-mail me and I'll show you the pics. P.S.- The risers that I'm talking about did not come in the package. I bought them at the same time that I bought the Road Riders. When I say matching I mean same color and same transparency.     Rate post 319903 !

I'm trying to find out some history on a board my husband found for our son. It's a wooden Hobie...no subname, Just Hobie in writing on the top and the bottom of the board with a black and green stripe. If anyone can direct me to a site with pics so I can match it that would be awesome. I'm afraid of letting him to continue using it if it is a collectors board. CHEERS!     Rate post 319874 !

He sent pictures to me.... LORDY LORDY... SAAAAAWEEEETTT-TA... In Hobie packing. I am pretty sure I have seen that before on ole Egay :----)... Packing is kinda ratty condition. The RR4 wheels look to me to be minty mint!! Not to get this post deleted oh great master of the website :----) FYI fellow NCDSA sk8ters, there is a minty mint with a great story up on that site, Henry Hesters!! I got a set,semi minty condition, but those are DA BOMB!!     Rate post 319870 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) original packaging? On 6/18/2009 herbn wrote in from United States  (67.83.nnn.nnn) i don't recall, i remember the local bike/skate shop opening a case of loose wheels like a 12x12x12 cube filled with roadrider 4's. rr4's with risers from ampul maybe? big difference ,to me.     Rate post 319857 !

I went to my collection of vintage skateboard trucks and found: Pittsburgh Trucks and Energy Truck plates had a 3 hole option as well... YES I KNOW, no way no how were Energy or Pittsburgh trucks used on a Bahne deck!! LOL.... I just thought it kinda cool info to pass on in cyberspace.

Well ,that's about it.California slaloms were probabely the most common and durable oh yeah and ACS 500's they are probabely the ones you'll most likely find,they fit everything.     Rate post 319717 !
