come on ukoldschool show us the collection as have heard about it
hooga 75 old deathbox boards are rare so find that bad boy

heres a link to a crappy little page:
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! :daumenhoch: 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

I don't get why anyone would even buy those skateboards now :2gunsfiring_v1:

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?

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

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

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

reissue boards are some over priced in  this country compared to states .

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)  :daumenhoch:

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  ;)

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!  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

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!  :daumenhoch:
