Old School Skateboard Collecting

Armen, Here are some that I could reach easily. I have quite a few more original decks, trucks, wheels, stickers, patches, shirts etc that are original from that era and many years earlier. Hit me up if your interested in me diggin up some of the good ones. 714.746.4349 As for those in the photo the one on far right is original Duane Peters and to it's left is a reissue. It's smaller and wheelbase is different from original. The one to left of it is an original Duane Peters that he'd get from Santa Cruz and after giving you a haircut in the bathroom at Big O skatepark in Orange he'd sell his extra boards for $ but he'd spray paint it so Santa Cruz wouldn't be upset. Most of these were ridden for a second or two buy Duane Peters, Steve Olson, CaraBeth Burnside, Bob Serafin & others. There's a great custodian and historian locally that has awesome stuff available old and new that I'll enlighten you about when you call.

A buddy of mine in PB/SD had a bunch of old decks that he collected. I remeber a wall outside his studio with all the Bones Brigade stuff. Posters, decks trucks, all sorts of memorabilia. I'll ask for a photo. I knw at onepoint he had broken decks and used them like shingles on a pool cabana.

 

While I dont have a massive collection, I do have one that has not been pictured.

I still have the Losi Team deck (LSD) from the mid-late 80's. Its not perfect (it was given to me to skate on, and skate I did). It still has the original Gullwing Street Shadow trucks, although I gave the original Zomboni wheels to a kid on my block for his homemade street luge.

I need to put a picture up of it.

I also have my first board in storage, a Nash Banana. Wood, no tape, pre-poly wheels on roller skate trucks. Thing is sketchy.

 

Now that is awesome!

 

Another old school board. Old Sims, Kryptonics, and Bennett pros.

The yellow Street Skate is a reissue. The two black ones are copies of originals that I made a few years ago after being unable to find an original at any price. The Ferrari board is a sticker and black spraypaint on a $10 eBay deck.
