Re: skateboard

I think it is The Hamlyn Book of Skateboarding by Peter Arnold 1977 - there is a picture in it of Guy Grundy doing a speed run at Signal Hill in full leathers and motorbike helmet - think this is your 'spaceman'.



Check out UK books on site Vintage Skateboard Magazines and rest of site Vintage Skateboard Magazines

If not this let me know - VSM.com is my site so I can probably find it for you.

Thank you thats the one!

Had a skateboard anual in the late 70's/early 80's.Not much of a description i know,but remember it well,all these cool Americans.Been searching for it everywhere but can only find modern books.Anyone got an idea of where to start looking for this sort of thing? links etc.

THANKS.
