That picture of Jay Adams grinding that pool,the raised block of coping supposely is loose,supposedly loose from repeated impacts,and he would hit it hard enough to lift it,in that pic he just came off the block,and its dropping back into place.........Well it was impressive back then.

Hugh, SoCal has ice! It can be found on ski runs and is commonly referred to as "spring conditions". Make me think of intentionally covering a bunny slope with water and let it freeze overnight, skiers and snowboards would hate it, but ice skaters and ice boarders would get into it! I can see it now, ice skaters on ski lifts.

I could have sworn there were iceblades with a convex grind(like a iceskate)and the push foot gets a single or a couple of spikes near the toe,which on a fairly narrow board hangs off.The windsail attachment still seems like the ticket.

Actually, Duane, at that age I was also very involved in track and field and running sports, so the obvious pushfoot solution was a spiked track shoe. However, I quickly realized how difficult it is to ride a skateboard while wearing a track shoe, and just how much damage those spikes can do to your otherwise precious (at that age) griptape and deck surface.

Obviously GBJ didn't feel ripped off enough by the Ice Blades to make a "push foot" shoe consisting of an old sneaker and short drywall screws, driven through the sole. A last, desperate attempt to get them to work. Still didn't work.
Yep, all those Maryland lakes have Maryland dams.

Here in Southern CA the only ice we usually see is in the trays of the frig! But I would like to own a set of the ice blades you all are speaking of just to add to my small collection.
I have an old skeeter, which is a skateboard type deck, funky trucks, and big ol wide ski things. Never actually tried it the one time five years ago I had snow on my hill. The decks plastic and I am not a thin guy! I figure this thing must be from the late 70's when the rest of those crazy products were out on the market. Any one know for sure? HR

Wow, Duane, are people in Maryland the only people who bought (or kept) those damned ice blades? I have a set, too. I will take and post a picture today. Duane is definitely correct about them though. Unlike an ice skate blade which literally has two edges separated by a shallow depression in the middle, the ice blades were single edged. This allowed the blade to bite too deeply into the ice. I couldn't push on them, because the friction between the board and the ice was greater than the friction between my push foot and the ice. They were "tic-tac"-able though. I, who due to my vast experience in the sport of Curling am very adept at getting around in shoes on ice, would make a running start across the ice, make a flying (barrel jump) leap on to the board, and then it would actually go. It was actually slightly pumpable. Eventually though, the deep bite of the blades would slow and stop the board. It's also funny that Duane should mention that the last year lakes froze in Maryland was 1977. That is, until this year. We actually have some naturally frozen skating surfaces this year, for the first time since about 1977.

Tracker plastic baseplates

I have a couple of sets of the ill-fated Tracker six-tracks with the plastic base plates (1980?). Like all of these, mine failed so that the hanger pivot pops out of the cup, trashing the baseplate. Is there any metal base plate available that can replace these?

It went for a bit more than the other one did, but the reserve wasn't met. Good luck, I'll keep my eyes open for others.

I'll see what I can do to post a pic of the ice blades. Folks 400 mi away and not too computer literate. Might take me a little while. Anybody remember Pacer wheels? Got a set of those, too. They had large OD bearings and where hard and fast on smooth asphalt, terrible on rough pavement. I'd like to still kick the ass that stole my board in 1978, with 70mm red (orange?) original Kryptonics, trackers, and a Rockit deck. Probably worth 3x what I paid for it, easily.

There is a set of pristine "ice blades" in my folk's basement, where thay have been for all but 15 minutes of their existence. They were sharp, like a knife, instead of flat like a skate, so they didn't work at all! What a rip. Not to mention that 1977 was about the last year that any lake in the state of Maryland froze. Right along side the pristine Rad Pads, decent Road Rider 4's, and near perfect split axle Gullwings. Oops, those are my brother's. Sorry, Scabs.
