On 2/26/2009 PaulW wrote in from United Kingdom  (82.24.nnn.nnn) Don't get too much time here, these days, but WOW, what a great collection. And seeing them put together -per the old Skateboarder adverts- is really something too. Thanks for posting.     Rate post 315466 !

Lordy what if they had been termites knawing at that vintage wood deck collection!! Paly/Dax here chatted a few times another site. Are you married? Reason I ask what are your tips that I can use with my better half and be allowed my collection in the the house? :--) I am banished to the garage with my toy collection!! Bribing her and expressing my love ain't cutting it here in california. That was a fine flurry of wheels and decks pictures!!!! I still think in the original debated picture :---) when piled up high, you just wanted everyone to know you had a pool table and were showing it off!! Or else your precious was vacuming and you were ordered to pick up your toys off the floor!! That bug story just ain't cutting it with me!! cheers III     Rate post 315462 !

That is really a great vintage collection from a wide array of equipment progression from some of my fondest memories of skateboarding in the 70's and early 80's. I owned a few of the same things so that was pretty neat seeing of those things again. I pretty much used up all my stuff or gave some away to kids if I wasn't using it and now wished I'd saved some. I still have some California Slaloms and Powerflex #3's, my first-run Kanoa Surf Flyaway(from when Lonnie Hiramoto and Howard Hood were Kanoa's pro's prior to the ads with Adams) with the same pinstripes but loads of scratches and a few cracks, and replaced foam and straps since those parts rotted away with use/sweat. I don't use it anymore because it just has too much value to me. I've never been a good collector since I don't tolerate too much "stuff" sitting around the house but now that I know better, I'm sitting on a few things I've used since the rebirth of slalom that are worth next to nothing now but I cherish since I used them after I got pushed back into racing in 2002. Glad to see someone is able to collect those things and show pictures. Thanks -Paul     Rate post 315460 !

I am turning 45 next week, skated in the 70's and combed thru Skateboarder mag for HOURS dreaming of the completes in the Val Surf and Kanoa Surf ads, still skate but more of a longboard/carver/cruiser fella these days. @ Jonathan: sorry you are saddened by my passion, but maybe you should stop and think before you spout off about someone you know nothing about, hating on someone when you don't know the facts is petty and childish imho... i'm attaching some more pics of the collection in it's normal state, to the folks that made rational comments here i truly appreciate it and hope you enjoy the rest of the pics!     Rate post 315453 !

The guy just wanted everything in a picture I guess. Take a chill pill thar child... OK FOLKS... This is first degree murder I guess. I planned this out, I took the time to get the picture, and am posting in a moment... If ole Johnathon of New Zeeland had a 9yr old meltdown on the previous post and collection I did, his head is just gonna explode with this one!! LOL at him and GEO!! Lordy, whats happening to this site and page.. You cannot even post pictures without 9yr olds with little wet pants getting all huffy and puffy!! So if anyone knows where to send the flowers for ole Johnny in NZ, let me know, cause this picture is gonna kill him... LOL again.. As a collector and sidewalk surfer and knowing dogtown history. I thought this a fabulous collection. Breath in deep one last time Johnny! And GEO, I don't know why picture was posed this way! It just was!

On 2/24/2009 Adam wrote in from United States  (208.64.nnn.nnn) jonathan, Take it from someone who was an early teen when most of those boards were new.. millions upon millions of them were ridden -- and ridden hard -- by their original owners. We rode them into the ground and, being kids, didn't think a whole lot about preserving them for next week, let alone for future generations. So I see it as more of a minor miracle that such a pristine collection even exists as opposed to calling it selfishness. They are utterly irreplaceable and represent an important part of our country's cultural history.     Rate post 315381 !

They're not as rare as the 9 inch Lazers, but still hard to come by NOS.     Rate post 314992 !

On 2/13/2009 PaulW wrote in from United Kingdom  (80.169.nnn.nnn) Seeing that Toft (right on the end) just reminds me (ow!) of how skint I was at the time to let the trucks wheels (and -yes- the deck) go. The wheels were a find from Darren at Shiner. NOS green/yellow Snake conicals. A chance conversation and a small amount of cash. The trucks were another matter altogether: Lifted from an old bashed-up Superlight that had spent 20 years in a water butt -they were pretty much unskated, but were badly blemished from the water and weather. I really got a kick out of restoring those! The deck was the easiest bit to source. Cress5 is (was) the Toft motherlode! For me, personally, it was always about the trucks though. The original Gull Pro 8 inch is the best looking bit of undercarriage ever made. No arguments! Pw     Rate post 314951 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0) ?

I was a little out of bounds there. I agree it is not vintage gear. It was homemade. I should have posted on the homemade page I guess. P.S. By the way what you wrote was offensive, it was needless and that of a spoiled 9yr old child.. What do you care? Who are you?? You are never on this vintage gear site posting, and yet you come in with words of insult to our site. First you tell us its a lame site and to go to BDS. Why go there? So we can get more of your childish insults if we post something you don't like? Go back to the Bulldog in that playpen section where anything goes. Oh, I am coaching at Palo Alto High this weekend in the Varsity Championship league tournament. If you wish to further discuss with me face to face... Love it!! We could find out a lot about you for sure!     Rate post 314927 ! Best-Of Ncdsa (0)   Informative (0)   Abuse(0)   Flag Moderators (0)
