Here I have a pretty og Olympic freestyle , quite like the wheel wells on these , I think it’s circa 1977/78 and few adverts for these from back in the day, as said earlier the advert in the mag was a bit risqué for kids reading a skate mag , adverts are last pics, she was certainly keeping abreast of the latest craze 😂

malibu was my fave park,it was indoors which was a necessity over here and we would go there most saturdays trying to avoid the groms :lol: ive searched many times over the yrs for pics but apart from the ones in skateboard mag when they did a review theres virtually nothing out there, roxy skates in swinton was another fave and again no pics what so ever :cry:

bit of info on our old fave the surf flyer :lol: truly awful boards but must have been many folks first skateboard, i never realised they were churning out that many of them or that they had done a reissue,i did see one of those a while back and wondered what it was,as for the part about it being a good slalom board on a steep hill?? :lol:

Don’t know if this deck is homage or not, I suspect not, but it’s got Silver Fox trucks and wheels that would be a nightmare to get the bearings out of 😂

those wheels are bizarre,they look like some sort of roller or something that was intended for some machinery and someone thought they will fit great on my board :lol: some kids dad probably brought them home from work :lol:
