Bugs, errors, glitches… Expect all of this and more as we roll out a new site design in bits and pieces as it is evolving, instead of completing it all at once like a sane person would.
Skate and Annoy: Daily
Hooker Headers
I’ve posted about Hooker Headers skateboards before, originally fascinated with a strange looking adjustable truck configuration, and then again after discovering an ad for one in a 1976 issue of Hot Rod magazine. There’s also another Hooker ad in the vintage ad gallery, with more to come I’m sure. This one is a conventional looking skateboard missing the adjustable contraption. What is does have however, are likely some Chicago trucks, Rolls Royce wheels, and a psychedelic top. The seller has a few more interesting boards.
Skateboard World Feb 1978
I’ve added 59 ads from the February 1978 issue of Skateboard World magazine, bringing the grand total in the gallery to 1,483 vintage skateboard ads! There’s some good stuff in there. There’s definitely some overlap with what you’d see in Skateboarder, but not nearly as much as you’d think.
