What is this 'day one, blue/gray' wheel you speak of? Tell me more. I guess this pre-dates the mainstraem production. Are they raised letter like the production 1st gen. what are the chances of me finding any or even one. Anyone got pics. The 'browned' orange wheel rock hard, like the amber very different to the bright red orange. I have a set of old used 60mm amber Kryps that have gone the other way with age, a sort of yellow/gold. Will post Wide-Trac pics when I can get on Tinypic this evening. laurie     Rate post 304604 !

The odd one is the very shiney looking non transparent orange,is that a very glossy "browned" orange, i've only seen pics of well worn browned orange krypto's.,nice.How about the original "day one" blue/gray?     Rate post 304589 !

I don't recall a clear red formula. Maybe the clear orange changing color like the Bottle greens turning brown........     Rate post 304587 !

I do like the way you display your wheels; on a shelf, 3 stacked and 1 in front. Mine are stuck in a drawer, but I think some shelf erection is in order.     Rate post 304579 !

It looks like someone has been using that Sims Taperkick as a shelf! Look at those shelf support marking on the underside and the corresponding screw holes. Oh dear, what a sad end for such a nice board. I'll post some pics of my mint one on Photobucket soon and put the link here so you can restore it back to its former beauty.     Rate post 304345 !

After scouring my UK mags can not find a descent advert to give me some inspiration. Can anyone help.     Rate post 304342 !

Like Buddy said, it seems everyone who knew how to lay fibreglass got in on the act." thats true, but many of them have the right idea, but the wrong vehicle or where-with-all to push the product. That was my example with Mac-Track. Look at the set-up, a fiberglass board with additional strengthening, multiple shapes, etc etc. It cannot be helped that the UK lagged the US with market availability. In the UK, Skateboard Mag was it. And they atleast got their product into there.     Rate post 304337 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) munchh board - Got It! On 6/25/2008 buddy rawls wrote in from United States  (128.158.nnn.nnn) thats awesome. I looked at the first 3 issues of skateboard (from my cd), but I did not go any further, becasue I KNEW it had to be too late. Oh well, guess not. Yep there it is in issue 5. I checked in Issue 6 and they have a sweet color ad, but the boards do not have the grip themes, just nice looking fiberform logos.     Rate post 304331 !

I knew I'd seen it in the old mag, and I remember seeing them for sale when I lived in Uxbridge London in 1977. They were stocked in a sports shop in the highstreet. Looks to be some generic fibreglass crap put out by an engineering company, as so many were, just to make a quick buck.

It started too late (aug 77). a board like this is going to have be in an advertisement in a 76 vintage mag, and it may not even be a skateboard magazine. Many times I saw skateboard ads in car mags. For example the hooker skateboard. Is thing aluminum or glass. If it is a aluminum, there was a company that offered their boards with the center beam and in a variety of shapes. If it is glass, then I just dont know. Also, it does not have to be a popular company. Case in point, a company called Mac-Track offered a bennett geometry truck with a tracker style base, about 1.5 years before Indy, and even looked quite similar to what Indy put out. But without a large following and heavy marketing focus, they went under.     Rate post 304323 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0)
