Yes that is a setup form the days of old . Continental trucks , wow .

That skateboard is most likely from 1978-1979 . It was made for the " Jaws " craze , as in the movie with huge shark...My guess is the person dumped the original trucks and put on Continental's as well as different wheels . I've seen a Battlestar Galactica setup for sale before going for $350 !

 

I just did a search on eBay and came up with this .

A lot of TV shows & Movies had promotional items such as skateboards made and sold to the public . You'll laugh but there's an actual Nash " Fall Guy " board that's sought after highly by collectors as they only sold 500 of them .

 

That's definitely a nice piece of history and should be kept . Good score . :cool:

I need to go get a copy of this before the weekend ... I cant wait for a hook up ... I am watching my boys copy in about 30 minutes.

 

Girl films usually set the standard for the next few years following each major release. I didnt expect anything less with this one .... I cant wait to see Guys part ... He was one of my major influences when I was 15 after Video Days, Then a few years down the line Mouse ...Shit made me want to quit cuz I could never be that good no matter how much work I put in. I'm expecting to feel that way again with this.
