  1. I remember these ads. I’m looking for some from 1976, they sold shirts that matched the board graphics. One of surfers and the other one had photos of skateboarders, they were buttoned photo shirts.

    1. I’ve got one from Skateboarder v2 #6, 1976. I’ll get that added after I get all the mag I’m working on now posted.

  2. interesting that there is a double kick advertised in that ad. obviously it didn’t catch on until the ’80s but still interesting to see that the idea was already there.

    1. Totally! I missed that when I posted this or I defiantly would have mentioned the early double kick!

  3. I bought a yellow double kick aluminum board from Skateboarder. I wanted the camber slalom board but settled on the double kick. It did lots of tricks, but I didn’t ride it very long. Sharp thin edges. It scratched, dented and destroyed everything. It literally chipped cement, slashed flesh, dented, scratched and punched holes in garage doors, and tore huynks out of wood ramps. Early parks banned metal boards.

    After I got badly cut in the ankle I took the trucks off and never road it again. Probably a big reason why they stopped making skateboards so quickly.
