Eric,

tropicalian RE: Sims Glass boards
On 12/2/2000 Eric wrote in from (209.220.nnn.nnn)

Jay here is what I know for you. Sims produced the following glass boards between 74-78? maybe...

Complete boards:

27" Stratoglass (glass silk screened on two sides) wheels: red, poured stokers trucks: ACS430 deck surface: Silicatraction Price: $29.95

27" Stratoglass (glass silk screened on two sides) wheels: red, poured stokers trucks: ACS500 deck surface: Silicatraction Price: $34.95

27" Stratoglass (glass silk screened on two sides) wheels: red, poured stokers trucks: ACS650 deck surface: Silicatraction Price: $39.95

27" Stratoglass (glass silk screened on two sides) wheels: red, poured stokers trucks: Bennett deck surface: Silicatraction Price: $38.95

And just glass decks:

24" 360 Stratoglass $10.50

27" 720 Stratoglass $11.00

30" Giant Slalom $16.50

44" Downhill $14.75

All the above decks are fiberglass and come with a textured deck and Sims team graphics(which I believe was the pure juice logo)
The Silca-traction deck surface was available as on option for $1.70.

Hope that helps ya. One of these days when I get around to it I will compile a database of these stats and post it on my website.
Maybe even have a list of the present day collector values.

I'm thinkin that Fiber 44" downhiller with the optional Silca-traction surface would be worth a mint.

WRV
On 12/1/2000 GBJ wrote in from (205.177.nnn.nnn)

Paul d., FYI, WRV stands for Wave Riding Vehicles, a company that deals, primarily, in surfboards. I believe they are located in Virginia Beach, VA. As for value, the mid-tracks and the wheels might bring you between 30 and 50 dollars (US) on an auction site like EBay. That's just a guess though. Search the word "Skateboard" on EBay and guage for yourself.

RED DEVIL SKATE BOARD
On 12/1/2000 Marty North wrote in from (24.67.nnn.nnn)

The very first skateboard I ever saw or rode was in 1962, my buddy had it and introduced me to my first ride. It was short, skinny, red, had steel wheels and had a little devil on it holding a pitchfork. Has anyone ever heard of these or does someone out there HAVE one?

Trackers /G&S yandall's/YO-YO Pro's
On 11/30/2000 Paul d. wrote in from (154.5.nnn.nnn)

My brother found a complete brd with tracker mid-tracks and G&s yandall's (I think thats what the wheels are). The deck has WRV burned into the bottom, it looks like a g&s warp tail.He also got an unused set of yo-yo pros w/ bearings and spacers.The price, 3 Canadian dollars (thats about 80 cents U.S.)What's it really worth?

Winchester
On 11/26/2000 Scabs wrote in from (209.86.nnn.nnn)

Winchester Skateboards ??? I doubt it. Being a collector of old fishing tackle, I know of at least 2 dozen different so-called "Winchester" products that turned out to be fakes. A detailed look at eBay reveals "1950`s" skateboards that are NOS. More like Not Old Skateboards but repro rip-offs. So I wouldn`t trust those rumors. Stick to what ya know...ya know what I mean Vern??....

Sims gloves
On 11/25/2000 Herbn wrote in from (216.107.nnn.nnn)

Those were dope/cool/ excellent,to bad the calve leather was so easy to shread,i even remember the price 32,1979 bucks.i'd settle for the urithane pieces,they out lasted the gloves everytime.Hey! Urithane comes in 1/8 inch sheets,get 85 or 90a ,cut out shapes,punch holes,connect with grooves,extra strong textile strength thread,nice gloves,recreate the classics,only better.I do think a grippy sliding glove,could make you very fast, on a need to slide corner,like putting down another wheel or two.

Has archives of patents, and a search for "skateboard", or a similarly interesting topic will turn up numerous hits. Worth a look for both serious research, as well as a fun look at the past, and the future of skateboard designs.

On 11/24/2000 Herbn wrote in from (216.107.nnn.nnn)

i think i was less concerned with the people involved in skating,not unconcerned just less concerned. Woody may have been a transplant, but Oak St was not an L.A /Diego co. i'd guess early S.F /OAKland. a breatholding frontside kickturn on the side of a biulding off a somewhat tight(as in not to high off the ground) shabby quarter pipe,is the picture in my head.

!980 Steve Caballero Powell Peralta
On 11/21/2000 Jeffs wrote in from (209.240.nnn.nnn)

Just found this board at a thrift store.
It has pink rails installed with t-bolts, Indy 169's (old style) copers, and has a broken hanger. The graphics are in excellent shape,very little wear on the tail, very worn bones wheels. Anyone have any idea what it's worth? Anyone care to make an offer? I have a KRyptonic K-beam with 70mm orange kryps an Indy's circa 1979, but I don't think I could bear to sell that one...

Rapture is a channel available on satelite in the Uk that shows a bunch of 'freesports' type programmes. Chilli Factor is a show made by a company in London that is kind of a magazine show that has pieces on things like BMX, skate, mtb, surf etc..

Early Skateboards
On 11/13/2000 SighKlone wrote in from (161.76.nnn.nnn)

I was watching some Rapture, chillie factor, I always thought skating started around the 1950's but this old old skateboarder dude said that his mate found a board that was down for $1.50 in 1905ish made by Winchester. So Skating is like almost over a century long sport/art/recreation.
