Post by: SteveG on August 22, 2007, 11:51 AM: I might still have a price list somewhere, will have to have a look round.
It was a brilliant shop, I don't think I ever stopped to look in the skateboard section as I was always to eager to get to the bikes !
I went to have a look a couple of years ago and it gone now. Anyone know how long ago it went ?

Post by: MartyC on August 23, 2007, 12:01 AM: Got a pair of the first Comp 3's in yellow from there, was a customer from 1977 as used to go there for skate stuff. Spent a fortune there over the years. The family that owned it sold up a couple of years ago and moved to Devon way, Bude I think and the son now runs a surf shop down there. My mate knows the son well and tells me that they still had a fair amount of NOS gear left which sometimes makes its way onto ebay :daumenhoch:

A PK Ripper at £283.95 would be £690 today, so how much would a NOS Ripper be worth to buy today and that's the additional appreciation this hobby adds :LolLolLolLol:
