Probably the rarest board in Australia - no boards are known to have survived. (if you find one let me know). Arguably the first double kick board made.

David Hill's Saurus

David told me the saurus logo was on the first run of power pivots. I have not found one of those either (everyone check your power pivots)
Retro boards...retro parts...is there a more retro skateboarder in Australia than David Hill? I met him briefly at Allawah one day. I'd like to hear the David Hill story. If David can't write it maybe Dr Bill can (or at least make it up).

David, are you out there?

Fiberglass Marlbro race car all original (open bearings)

Yeah id like to hear the David Hill story too Bugs.
How can we get that happening?

Brad,... nice collection,... blood stains?? Hahahahaa,... they add real gnar value!
can't even find a picture of the super flyer slalom red board I got from Woolworths in the UK (How sad even tried to contact them in case they had a brochure pic) anyone got a pic....in fact as a trade I have a 3 year old and a 19 month old that I could probably trade for a real board (will have to be on a Thursday while Mrs. Aych is shopping but we can work something out I'm sure)
SIMs Superlight with lazer trucks and yo yo's

Here is my stroker.
Just assembled on a new deck built for me by Canonball Longboards.
See the 1977 price in the retro add. 1 truck same as a good complete, so it must have been the GoG of it's day.

Turns like nothing else!
