I think SDO has a similar board somewhere in his collection... So any feedback on value would be great. From what I can find, BadCo was around in the later 70s and didn't survive more than a couple years. The band Bad Co. Complained about the logo, and there was a cease and desist on the company. I don't see these very often, and I'm not sure what this is worth. Any help would be great!
Wood is in good shape. Solid with a couple small chips on nose and tail. Board is about 27.5" x 8".
Trackers appears to be prototypes or fakes, they are not stamped. They have rare PUNGZ bushings, in great shape. Wheels are Bel Air Wings in great shape, and bearings are A.Z.E German SPEED bearings... The matching sticker is on the deck!

Hey that's my era and sticker is legit Bad Co and the wheels rule; the BadCo boards were black Dip not natural. They broke like crazy! Tails snapped that's the reason along with the lawsuit that there's very few around. Still a super cool board and the wheels are likely $300 very rare. |

Found this info on Mikeweedskateboarder website:
"Mike would regroup with Skitch and Chip Ashback, and start Bad Co. Skateboards, he also designed the 'Weed Wheel'. He and Skitch came out with the first board with a concave deck (not a Bad. Co. deck it was a fiber glass custom). The Weed Wheel had many orders but there were production problems. But Mike, Skitch and some up and coming skaters from Upland, Curt Kimble and Harvey Hawks had a job in 1979. There were a lot of skaters that didn't. They were able to sell boards, but not enough to save the company." |

Does that deck have rocker? It looks like a Hobie, with a Bad Co sticker on it.

No rocker, just flat with a kicktail. Also can't help but notice the Mike Weed Wheels stickers on there, who (Mike) was a co-founder of Bad Co. Skates. Maybe a connection there? Maybe not? Could it be a board that belonged to Mike while starting Bad Co.? |

Mike Weed was with Hobie a lot longer & the shape looks like some of Hobie's decks.
Sorry, I don't think that deck has any connection to Bad Co. Thinking it's a prototype or belonged to Mike Weed, just because of a sticker, is pure fantasy.
