Any little bumps?
The folks (volks) at Made for Skate recently had a display in The Skateboard Museum called Metal Battle in celebration of a Nike SB collab styled after the oldest school Roller Derby skateboards. Dig the inserts on these. The design for the show flyer was lifted from this poster, which was also on display. It’s a vintage 60′s silkscreened poster advertisement for a body shop. I’d place it at 1965-66 if I had to guess. So why was the the show called the Metal Battle? To celebrate they brought out some vintage steel wheeled death traps and had a session. Video after the jump.

Rad! I’d love to have a go at skating some of those old boards.
That’s a great Auto Shop sign, But i really wonder if it is a real legit vintage sign and not something someone made recently? I’ve seen many faux surfing travel posters and the like, recently painted to look vintage. I do hope it’s real cuz it’s just too cool, Is there anything with it that proves it’s vintage?
