Vintage Skateboards

« on: May 28, 2015, 01:16:37 pm »

John, a belated congrats on the Tony Hawk skateboard purchase. Watching that vid made me think of my first "real" skateboard - meaning not one of those plastic pieces of crap you get at JC Penney. It was a red aluminum Banzai board, like the one below.

I grew up with skateboarding but i have never seen one of the mid 70s alluminium boards. Only read about them in Laura Torbet´s book. This is a freakin´beauty and this is one i actually would never skate. (Unlike some wooden Tony Hawk/PP crap from the 80s) Grin
