I can vouch for the California sun wheels , they look great I’ve got a set on my blank BB Lolipop

Yeah I consoled myself with the fact they weren’t the best nos set out there. I can’t moan too much about getting outbid last seconds as I’ve done it plenty of times.
Yes I think Simon finishes the auctions to suit oversea bidders but I think alot have been put off by the high custom fees on eBay ...

Just been outbid in the last second on those set of Bones GRRRR . Anybody on here bought them ? Don’t worry i don’t hold a grudge it’s part of the game lol

Proper fresh air survivor on eBay atm , need some serious wood working skills to get that looking good

@slackalice hi matey did you get my PM about the BB lollipop PDF ? Cheers Daz

Quite a nice Sims long board on eBay atm
Not sure how rare the 36 incher was but it looks in pretty good nick

Eyup matey yeah I’m sure you did , didn’t you buy that Benjy off me , it was nos but had a bit of water staining. You cleaned it up really nicely iirc .

Unfortunately I through out the original wheels which were generic translucent red a few years before I got into collecting but the GT wheels are a pretty close match.
I’ll post some more photos of my collection asap now I know how to do it.

Yeah I’d a loved to go to Malibu dog bowl but I was a bit young to go on me own on the bus ( Billy no mates 😆) and me dad was too tight to take me in the car. I do know one lad who used to go though who I used to work with in the fire service and he said he went loads a times with his mates and said ...

Hi Guys been on here for a while but not seen this page so here goes , skated ( poorly ) in the 70s in Mansfield where i grew up and still live. No skate parks so had to make do with homemade ramps and some slight inclines that were under the 4 seasons car park ramp. Still do a bit of skating now ...

Any of you guys got a pdf for the BB lollipop underside screening ? I’ve got a nos blank deck which is just crying out to be finished as it should be.

Any of you guys got a decent set of Lazer 8s to sell me ? I shoulda got the Tri Alva with them on but missed the auction. I’ve got a Ben liddle fresh air reissue to mount them on as I know he used Lazers at some point. I do have a mint set of Independent stage 2 s which would do the job but I’d ...

The Benjy lollipop went for £186 in the end , pretty cheap if you breakdown the parts. One of those skid plates went for daft money a while back and the trackers always make good money. Did anyone buy it on here ?
