WTD: Old Skateboards

opaque · Post by **opaque** » Mon Jun 29, 2009 9:25 pm

Hey guys, have decided to get a skateboard to cruise around on again. I'll just seeing if anyone has any new or used 70's and 80's (reissues and stuff are fine) style decks that aren't getting any use. I'm looking to ride it everyday so no limited editions and that b/s, skateboards are made to be snapped and chipped.

Thanks, Vinny

p.s. I am interested in normal skateboards too, show me what you've got.

properganda, ban this etc those were the best days before all boards became double kickers.

I got a couple of old visions, a schmidt stik and a powell peralta, and a early (late 80's) double kick Canadian Maple (no shit)

They will be Jakes and Tylers one day.

They're expensive if you want "shrink wrapped first edition hand carved from Alva himself while he was tripping on acid in Arabia" type ones, but you can still pick up decent Powell/Santa Cruz late 80s period ones for round 200, reissue ones you can get for the same price as normal skateboards.

i have a lot of vintage powell stuff.
100% go the re-issue if you're going to ride it - works just the same.
