Pre-1980 Vintage Gear (6027 Posts) Product Info snakes/trakers On 4/9/2001 hugh r wrote in from (205.216.nnn.nnn) The green snakes (roller skate type if I remember correctly) could fetch $60 to $80 in a bidding situation... I would pay 40 for a set myself. Check the thrift stores... a guy not too long ago got 8 of them on skates for about $10!! Trakers could easily be in the same range... HR     Rate post 27736 !

I will let it go at my cost. It has the look and feel of a TURNER. BEAUTIFUL deck with lots of camber. 170-205lbs at best. Pics Available. E-mail me if interested. I also have a Maherajah longboard I'll let go for under cost. Undrilled. Might even consider offers on my custom eight wheeler on Hughs site for a decent price.     Rate post 27695 !

On 4/6/2001 Lansing wrote in from (24.218.nnn.nnn) Anybody know what the deal is with this "priceless" Duke Kahanamoku? I've seen it up on eBay several times over the past 6 months - every time the guy asks $1,500, but it's never sold. I mean, c'mon...it must be worth more like $150, right? A pristine Shogo complete may fetch close to $1500, but this thing? Anybody know what it's *really* worth? I'm guessing that the guys is trolling for Duke K. fanatics who don't know anything about vintage skateboards... Dunno. eBay Duke Kahanamoku     Rate post 27566 !

Archery flex,a maple and glass ply board was just out and in a product review it appears to be kind of long 36ish,it curves up in the truck areas, and has specially molded risers to give a flat area for the trucks to mount onto. Strokers first ad just hit.So my perfect combo for 1976 and sometime after that would have to be a; Archeryflex deck,Stroker trucks,Kryptonic 70mm wheels,GMN bearings,i would have found some 10/32 flathead allen bolts to put it all together.     Rate post 27397 !

No, I am not affiliated with them in any way. I went to the shop they have in Venice and knew I was in the presence of a legit collector and skate historian. The models I purchased were the 10" x 32" and the 10" x 36". Both have good but mild concave and great graphics. I would love however to get my hands on some lime green Sims snakes or DogTown Rock & Rollers circa 1978-79 wheels (Any help?). As for trucks, some new indy's will suffice (166's or 215's).     Rate post 27302 !

Back then I was putting them on Trackers and finally got the size and pattern just right so they snapped right on.....worked great.     Rate post 27237 !

I know i've seen it before,the glass wave by Hitchcock,Pool rider Q+A ect,though i don't remember that full page stroker ad,equipment check on Archery flex,And theres an ad for Kryptonics that talk's of a "new" 83a formula urithane in a 50mmx50mm model called "The Hummer" they should recycle that name,i wonder if it ment back then what it means today and i don't mean the 4wd military vehicle:0 :)     Rate post 27091 !

Viola! Instant copers, that cost a fraction of the brand-name copers. Sure, they rattled a bit if you didn't shape them right and they broke a tad sooner than the "real thing," but hey -- they cost practically nothing, and took all of 5 minutes to make!     Rate post 26653 !

I have a beefy pair of Tracker Ex-Tracks that I am trying to find copers for. Does anybody know where the Ex-Tracks fit into the Tracker series. I know there bigger than Full Tracks and smaller than Six Tracks. So was there a specific size coper, or will the Six Tracker coper work on the Ex-Track? Does anyone know about the coper adapters for longer trucks; the white plastic hub looking extension. Any info on whats needed to set up Ex-Tracks with copers would be most appreciated.

The Lazer Freestyle has a 5 1/2" axle width. Hope this clears things up for you and if you need some of these trucks mail me as I have several new old stock pairs for sale/trade.

They had all sorts of ads in thrasher too. Perfect for that powell pig board...     Rate post 26439 !

They are a Teal blue and relatively soft. They actually look and feel alot like a 70MM Kryptonic. The lettering spells out CITY STREET. Any Clues??     Rate post 26428 !

I'm real interested ,if any real old timers that were around in that day,and speed boarding remember this board or any other strange gear,stand up stuff.I guess skatecars are cool,fast but i not skating,and certainly nothing you can do on an open street,by yourself.     Rate post 26421 !
