A Close Look at Some Top Vintage Skateboard Decks

Many skateboard enthusiasts like to collect vintage skateboard decks as a way to celebrate the skater lifestyle. Knowing what are the top vintage skateboard decks is key to any real collector. With so many vintage boards out there, unless you are extremely knowledgeable about vintage skateboard decks you may miss the chance of a lifetime for an ultra rare skateboard.

Skateboards were first sold in 1958 and were simple planks of wood or sometimes metal with roller skate wheels attached to them. These were a surfboard shape and had clay or metal wheels. During the 1970s the urethane wheel was invented making even better skateboards but unimaginative for creativity. These vintage skateboard decks are great for collections because of the history surrounding these types of boards from first tricks, to the first skateboarding competitions, and the first skateboarding icons.

The most sought after vintage skateboard decks come from the 1980s era. By the 1980s many skateboarders owned their own skateboard shops allowing for much more creativity in board design and art on the deck itself. There are many reasons for why some boards are extremely rare from limited edition boards, stores going out of business, and even artists changing jobs.

A great board to always be on the lookout for is Alva, while Alva has many designs to pick from and they have great graphics one the most wanted may be the Alva Leopard having one of the first examples of punk/new wave graphics. Alva has some fantastic pieces of vintage skateboard decks so if one comes up for sale it is definitely worth buying.

One board that is extremely rare, especially in great condition is the Bad Co. line. This short lived company signed up some big names before collapsing. Curt Kimbel probably being the best known having won several salom and downhill races. If one of these comes up for sale grab it while the board is available.

Big Pimp limited edition boards are considered to be one of the only pro collector models available. This design was made by artist Wes “Bulldog� Humston. Only 100 of these amazing decks were made with each one numbered and signed by Wes.

Brand-X pushed the envelope for new art and better printing, when industry standard was 3 or 4 colors max. The Brand-X X-Con made in 1985 has 8 separate passes with some inks being translucent for that signature shadow effect. This particular brand is well known for great art and always a great buy.

Boulder was a company based in Boulder, Colorado that made some of the best decks from the late 70s. These were highly wanted decks and were regularly used by some of the biggest skaters of that era. Boulder is a vintage skateboard deck that is a must have for any real collector of vintage decks, just for the Dogtown history that comes with these decks.

Of course some of the best vintage skateboard decks are so rare that it may be very difficult if not impossible to get. For these decks consider getting re-issues of vintage skateboard decks, these usually are very close to the original in design and have very good artwork. Of course if collecting isn't for you consider buying decks that are considered vintage with style and looks. With many different lines of decks there are no shortages of choice for your vintage skateboard deck.

Horrid Venue... Help?

The venue we have booked had water damage, the problem is fixed, but it looks NOTHING like it did on the inside when we signed our contract...it had crown molding, hardwood floors, tall celings...now it has some fake wood floor, plain white walls, tall celings with fans now...(pretty ceiling fans and chandelier now but still...)

in the contract it states any venue changes can be made with knowledge to the couples/party...well they called us to tell us the water damage would be fixed...but that was it? They didnt tell us they were changing the look and mondernizing it, i wanted old vintage, my theme is old birds, books, hair pins, record players,etc.

Im sad, can I not be mad? Do they owe me anything? Its 3 weeks away so I can't change it

Like most have said, YOU make it what it is. Of course you have a specific vision that you have been looking at for months now...and BOOM its taken away from you.

Now, time to revision. Drapes, Wall Decor, Lights, Hang things from the chandelier (Vintage Bird Cage with birds around it) Have a Bird Cage WITH birds in it by the card table...who cares about the walls, get creative.

Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react!

Just think if the venue was your marriage, and your husband all of a sudden had your favorite part of him taken away due to unforseen problems...would you feel dissapointment, yes, but would you love him no matter what? I hope the answer is YES. Work through this together, focus on LOVE and all your fun decorating you have ahead of you!
