The Biemme Red Star is a board of Italian manufacture. There’s a company called Biemme that started in 1978, but they seem to be focused on bicycles. Maybe they had a brief foray into skateboard like a few of the other bicycle-centric companies of the era did. A search fro “Red star skateboard” turns up a bunch of unrelated boards. Currently, including “Biemme” in that search returns exactly 2 instances of this skateboard, both auctions cling this is an 80’s era board. It’s got trucks that fit into the bottom of the board instead of having a separate baseplate. That’s not a big deal, we’ve seen that in American boards and Italian boards. The thing that makes this board interesting is the bizarre molded double kicktail, on. appointed nose no, less.
I can’t find any other info out there on this board. All I can do is provide some archived pictures for when the auctions disappear.
This one didn’t fair so well. The wheels look very brittle and appear to be missing chunks. This might be an Italian phenomenon, because the Tress Assi boards have been known to have brittle wheels as well.
That’s it. Let me know if there’s more to this.
