I couldn’t find anything on the Interwebs about what I thought was the product name. And then I realized “Free Wheelie” was a pun on the killer whale motif. Pretty slow on the uptake, huh Kil,wag? Straight from eBay Poland. Turns out these things are called Rat Tailz. A company named Sport Fun made skateboards as far back as 1978, although there’s no way to tell if the they are the same entity.
– Thanks to M1CK3Y for the tip.

I purchased one at a thrift store it’s green and says Stale Fish it was unique and just thought it was kinda cute, had a hard time looking it up. Not a lot of information about them..

I have been remembering things about this board. one is notice, it has no baseplates. bushings right on the deck. the other thing is, the one I saw had a warning sticker instructing you to only put one foot on the board at a time, but not directions on how to use the extra tail. I guess it’s a “money bump”.
it’s only about a foot long

Yo dawg, we heard you like skating so we put a deck on your deck so you can skate while you skate!

I could never figure this thing out. what is it for? my daughters friend had one, he moved and somehow my kid ended up with just the deck. she beged me to set it up with trucks and wheels so we did, and then I told her it was too dangerous to ride

I used to have on of these in 2002! I old boss bought it for me as a joke and I used to bomb this hill in Salem on it with just my toes fitting on it. Then I broke the tail off one drunken night 🙁
