http://www.ukoldschool.dsl.pipex.com/collection.htm


ive been working on www.visionmuseum.com for a while, have taken pics of all the decks, cropped them, drop shadow top and bottom and just need to sort out a decent layout to display them on the web properly...

Awesome collection! just found a website where you can buy re issue vision decks and some other re issue decks, the gator ones are only $60! It's in America though

[lk_97]

Or £70 in England http://www.skateboardsofchoice.co.uk/oldschool/oldschool-decks/vision-gator-2-10-inch-oldschool-skateboard-deck-black.htm

I don't get why anyone would even buy those skateboards now

yeah! f uck the fact that they are iconic slices of the time, and amongst the best art!

Do you have a Steve Douglas Schmitt Stix?

nah man, I only collect Visions (with a few others by association). Great skater though!

Nice Dossett.  Looks like you skated that hard!  Youve got the madrid fly paper as well

I tried to get my boards from my mums tonight but she had gone out.  I will try and get over there during the weekend

I might just get a nos variflex or something, even though they're probably pretty crap, and just upgrade it over time.

Although I did see a vision gator 2 re-issue for £50 or best offer, was actually thinking about it. Because it's a nice board, and quite cheap. And really I suppose he did what he did a while after the board was out, and I wouldn't be riding it because I like him either.

  Are Variflex still regarded as crap? They used to sell the Splash and Hitail in Toys R Us (along with awful Nash boards) 

[BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN]

Back in the day 70's they had a name - 80's they started getting taken over by better brands - they were regarded as lesser by the time skate boarding hit big again in the mid- late 80's - every year around '86 -'90 new ideas and designs came put and older 70's names that couldn't keep up got left behind

but like as we do with lesser bmx models and company's we still like them for what they are - a piece of great history

collect every thing i say 

[webbie]

I had a variflex air attack before i moved on to use santa cruz etc. Same as bmx really it was what i could afford at the time and enjoyed it. I think i still have a variflex r.i.p in the loft.

love the valterra   

[hooga1975]

love the valterra   

I had that valterra when I was a kid.

[hotdog]

The first time I ever rode a board,1977,was on a yellow Gecko. Brings back great memories of family holidays on the Gower Coast.

[BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN]

They are all for sale  

[BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN]

Who can name this board from the graphics ?  or what was left of them    90's

[renegaderacer]

I'm sure I can find that out if I have a look through my old RAD mags!

Talking about expensive boards; I wish I still had my 80's SMA Natas! 

Oh, and I also had a Vision Gator. I found it in a skip when I was on my paper-round. A bit of a clean, some fresh griptape and it was good as new!

I still think when i look back that my Natas was my best board i ever had    OJ teamriders and indy's 

[renegaderacer]

My Natas was my favourite too.  It was the best Christmas present I've ever had. Mine was riding on Indys and Bullets! 

[stuntmaster]

for me the mcgill was the best for graphics ,lance mountain was the best to ride and still looking for one to replace mine i lost  and the worse was the kevin stabbs as had to plead to surrey skates to give me another one after snapping it within 2 weeks .
i used to ride tracker trucks as wanted to be different as everyone had indy`s

[deeman]

The S.M.A NATAS decks were brilliant,built for popping ollies!does anyone remember his section in 'streets of fire'?! where he ollies the fire hydrant??
