Yabassi helmets and other quality skateboard accessories.
I think I found the 70’s Power blog while researching the Wham-O Wheelie Bar – because it looked like it had skateboard trucks on it. I couldn’t find a decent close up of the wheelie bar, but I did enjoy surfing 70’s Power. It’s kind of like the 4Q blog if you replace the motorcycles with old VW’s and rewrite a lot of text in French. A few items of interest clockwise: Quality Skateboard Accessories manufactured by Jupiter International out of Bellevue, Washington!, Yabassi skateboard helmets. I can’t find anything about them on the web, can anyone elaborate? Lastly, some of the vintage skateboard collection belonging to the guys who post to the blog.
Randy, besides skateboarding, I’m also a Schwinn freak. If you need pics of a Wham-o wheelie Bar I’ve got em. They came stock with Chicago trucks and clay Super Surfer wheels.
Yeah! for sure. I have a post already scheduled for tomorrow morning, but it’s just a print advert (lousy detail) and TV commercial. I’d love to get some legit pictures. Everyone… pretend you didn’t read this comment tomorrow.
I have a vintage platic Yabassi skateboard with the same logo as the helmets. It reads “Modele 30 made in France” on the front truck and “Modele 50 made in France” on the back truck (though they look the same ?) It is from the 70’s (it was ridden by the father of the guy who sold it to me !).
P.S. I am addicted to polyboards and vintage kitch !
