There was even an og Benjy sticker on the bay that would have suited it

I’d have thought it would have went for more

ideally we need to see pics of another to confirm its a genuine product,even if it was some sort of prototype/test mule there would have been more than one made, or even a pic of one? id stick my neck out and say its legit though as there was also the speed deck that appeared last yr with laminated ...

it definately looks a benjy shape but as its an unknown entity would it be worth the money? like you say,hopefully somebody will know,when you read the history of benjy though on the net he says the first 3 decks were made of oak but broke so he went onto make one from one solid piece and the one on ...

you need to buy a couple of 8 wheelers for them

at that price im amazed they sold any at all,it must have been the older skaters with jobs who bought them.
ive got a pr of polished ones in my display cupboard,ill have to get some pics sometime

were those baseplates hollowed out?

can someone explain this as i dont get it? why lathe the yoyo logo off to use on rollerskates? how does that make any difference? the wheel looks identical in size still,hes also got a red set exactly the same,or were they factory seconds which had the logo removed BEFORE they were sent over here ...

another new one for me, ive seen the usual green and blue wizzards which always seem to age very badly but ive never seen a red one! reminds me of a cut glass vase ,id love a set in red

i did consider it a while back but decided to hold onto it for now

not really, i only used a rag and a bit of metal polish, 5 mins max,they are early ones though as can be seen by the bushings/washers so maybe they were better quality or something at the beginning ?
