Dubs Posted June 12, 2010 Report Posted June 12, 2010 I have just got back from a village fete and spotted an old skate deck in a paper bag. It says to me "old school" and I was wondering if anyone could shed some light? It's got "Pro am Pure Gold" stickers on the top and bottom. Also it has the oldschool style Stripes of dark wood on the top laminated on it. I'll get some pictures up of it in a sec. I'm not sure whether to get some longboard hardware for it and cruise around on it or sell it/put it on my wall! Cheers:D Quote
Dubs Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Posted June 13, 2010 come on you old bastards! I want to kit it out but it's so mint it doesn't even have truck holes... Quote
