skateboard build old school skool classic vintage style? Question: Hi, have just bought a old ash blank deck in the classic "old school" style (like when i was a kid 30yrs ago) for my son aged 8. The board is 27 x 7 at the widest point and i need advice re wheels and trucks to suit the board. I think the present skateboards with their puny wheels look naff and want a board with big whees that slightly overhang the board. Can i have some advice please re best size trucks and wheels that would suit. I need to ensure the deck will not rub on the wheels when cornering and do i have to take into account my sons weight with the trucks. If you can help or know of any suitable web sites for guidance i would appreciate your help Answer: Hm, maybe a size 12 small. |

What is a good gift for a guy who plays bass/acoustic guitar and skateboards? Question: Hello friends. This Chirstmas I am stumped and need your help. I need a good gift for my b/f, but he is really hard to buy for. I can't keep buying him guitar picks and vintage t-shirts. He plays both the acoustic and bass guitar. He also really likes to skateboard. Even if you know nothing about these things but you have a really good idea for a gift, please fill free to give me some advice. If you know of any good PS2 games that would be helpful to. Thanks Answer: You have 2 1/2 months why are you worrying about this. You should be worrying about what kind of candy you are going to give out this year or what costume you are going to wear to the halloween party. Next in line would be who is going to cook turkey and where are you meeting for Thanksgiving. You are thinking way too far ahead. Listen to him for the next month and you will figure something out. |

How much could I get for a vintage Jeff Phillips skateboard deck? Question: I was given a skateboard deck when I was about 9 (I'm 16 now) and although it looked pretty neat, I didn't think it was out of this world. I recently rescued it from my shed and saw that the graffiti that covered the whole deck read "JEFF PHILLIPS". This wasn't sprayed on by some fan it you can tell it was done professionally. As I've grown out of that tomboy stage, I can't tell a skateboard from a dirtboard so could someone please let me know how much a Jeff Phillips skateboard goes for? Thanks! By the way, it's been used a little but still in absolutely great nick! Answer: |
