Cool. I look forward to the postings.

Excellent. Thanks for posting.

This has been on Youtube for a while now. For those that haven't seen it...

This 2001 Turner went for £380 last week: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-TURNE ... 500wt_1155

I'd split the Turner/Strokers, and put up that you're willing to post worldwide.

3 Turner Pollacks have sold recently for $1300-$1650, 2 of which went to one guy here in the UK.

Super.

There is one for sale now on Ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NOS-SCHMITT-STIX- ... 500wt_1156

I don't know what size they are. Unfortunately, it's not my listing, just thought it might be of interest to someone.

You don't see many of these still NOS and boxed.

Here's the Santa Cruz advert that appeared in the January 1990 issue of Thrasher.

Here is Jake Phelps' review of the Santa Cruz Graphite Loaded Slalom board in the October 1989 issue of Thrasher magazine.

Thanks for that. It's appreciated.

They seem to be like buses, you wait ages for one, and then they all appear at the same time. http://cgi.ebay.com/VTG-TRITON-SLALOM-SKATEBOARD-ROAD-RIDERS-TRACKERS-RARE!_W0QQitemZ170283657683QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20081201?IMSfp=TL081201132009r1560 http://i19.ebayimg.com/05/i/001/20/76/2903_1_sbl.JPG

I recall seeing one of these in RAD magazine (UK skateboard mag) in 1990. Does anyone know if they ever made it into production? Never seen an advert, or a listing, so I assume only a few prototypes were made.

Any info?

I've got no idea. But there is some nice footage of fibreglass Hobies being made on here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g2GLSaLy0U at the 8 minute mark.

Me too.

Shouldn't the skill involved in slalom skateboarding competitions be about, er ... , slaloming through cones? I would have thought that the use of big ramps with tight transitions, which require a different skill to those that many slalomers have, aren't conducive to encouraging more people into com...

The one at 7 o'clock looks mighty fine.

Anyone used Bones' Reds? I don't need a race bearing, just a good quality, affordable bearing for putting in a few sets of wheels. The price is nice, but what about the bearings?

Pierre. That's really appreciated. The drawing of the dog is so '70s. The ad is dated October '76, so the deck could be older than I thought. I don't think many Santa Cruz decks came into the UK until mid-77. The only reference I could find in Skateboard (the UK's major magazine at the time) was a s...

Thanks Wesley. Yes, it's just a maple/fibre deck, no graphite.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3142/2296944534_e1096f5a67.jpg Does anybody know the correct name of my Santa Cruz deck? Looking in 1978 issues of Skateboard magazine I've come to the conclusion that it is a Santa Cruz proflex cutaway. Is this correct? It is set up with Tracker mids and G&S wonkers....

They were up last week at $275 and $250 failing to attract any bids.

There is also a G/S Hybrid Turner up at the moment.

Will you post to the UK? I've sent you an email.
