  • I’ve still got my Beadle 5, had it from new! It’s thin fibreglass and VERY bendy! I no longer skate but my son does. He thinks the Beadle 5 is funny!

    I’m after a Beadle Rocker (laminated wood) to complete my collection if anyone knows of one? I have the Kicktail, Hi-Torquer and Bank Riders along with the Beadle-branded helmet, pads and carry bag.

    Hi… just putting this out there. I have a lime green Beadle 4 kicktail deck which I’m about to list on eBay. It was well used back in the day (late 70’s / early 80’s) so there are scuffs and chips a-plenty. The original wheels are with it… The bearings are yet to be found but they are a pretty standard part and easy to find, I believe.
