I picked up and old shool Exile but I don't recall ever seeing one as a kid in the 80s. If any one is familiar with this brand please let me know as it would be cool to know a little about this relic that I now own.

There's an Exile out of Texas (popsicles) and one out of Poland (downhills). Both are current, not old school.

Poland : https://www.facebook.com/exilemfg/?fref=ts

This just sold on eBay. Are you the buyer, or seller?

From what I can gather, this was a short-lived prototype skateboard company from Georga in 1991. They made a few models; and probably went under within a year. Here are some ads from Thrasher 1991:

I knew someone on this forum would know something about this board. I just bought the board last week. Thanks so much for sharing those ads.

Can you tell me what month in 1991 those ads are from?

Thanks again!

March 1991: http://www.thrashermagazine.com/artic...mp;tmpl=component

April 1991: http://www.thrashermagazine.com/artic...mp;tmpl=component

Maybe others too, but I found those ones pretty quick.

Exile is out of Valdosta ga.I rode for them in 1988 I know I used to get some flagship boards sent to me,i think I still have a flagship prototype in storage I will check
.I do know a new deal rider that turned pro also road for them back then.

Small company that the owner was pretty religious.I know his name was Eric but cant remember his last...Bumped into the owner a few years ago and not so religious.Regardless I was happy to get some some shirts and decks,problably a bit unappreciative as a young kid as well
