Title: AP Sliders
Post by: Reggie on June 05, 2006, 03:47 PM

Anyone remember AP sliders.  Designed by Andy Preston.  They were red with white trim.  They just came into my mind so I thought i'd share.....  Think he made a range of accesories IIRC.

Cheers

Yeah his company was called APP Andy Preston Products and he made ramps on trailers too. I liked his gators but they never really caught on. Andy went on to have a skateboard shop in manchester Soul Skates Then went on to be a hair dresser and a good one He used to do my flat tops in record time. He now owns his own stunt kite business after working for Flexifoil and being the man that designed the phsyco amongst others and lives in a converted Church with his bird Sue. He still looks the same as he did 20 years ago.
