Hi all, I am Bobschro.
I grew up in the Philly suburbs. I started skating in 1985. A bunch of friends of mine met a guy named Dave Fairman when he was selling gear off his parent's front porch. He opened up a shop and I skated for Fairman's for a long while (when it was located in Prospect Park) with the likes of Adam Wallacavage, Andrew Jeffrey Wright, Adam Crawford, Bill Jenkins, to name a few. I mostly skated street, but would ride vert any time I had the (rare) opportunity. My ears constantly ring from all the punk and hardcore shows I went to as a kid. I did a bunch of snowboarding all over in the late 90's through 2000s and loved every minute of it.
I went to Art school in Philly and I've since been a professional graphic designer for 30+ years. I live in NJ and work in NYC. Skateboarding/snowboarding art, magazines, tees, stickers, you name it, it all had a tremendous influence on my life and career. It's my foundation.
My (crazy, midlife crisis) goal is to see if I can eventually collect all the 80s boards -- that I can remember -- having as a kid:
Schmitt Stix ATV
Vision John Grigley Old Ghosts Guardian
Schmitt Stix Ripsaw (hated this deck)
Sims Screamer
Madrid X Team Rider
Schmitt Stix John Lucero (Bars)
Mark Gonzales (Face)
Schmitt Stix Chris Miller (Dog)
Tracker Dan Wilkes (Raptor)
Alva Fred Smith (fav board of all time, had 4 of them)
Sims Eric Nash Scratch Off Graphic
Thanks for reading! |

Ryedoggy has a killer guardian for sale. Hit him up
That’s a helluva list of decks. Some pretty iconic stuff |

welcome. What are your standards for these boards? Re-issue ok? NOS only? You'll have to have some deep pockets and some good luck to get a few of the ones on your list in NOS condition.
There's a Rip Saw currently on Ebay |

Great question!
I think I'd be okay with reissues for some of these, but not all of them. I have a reissue old ghost guardian for instant gratification purposes, but I wouldn't mind scoring the real deal though. That deck is really special to me. It was the second deck i ever owned and I have a bunch of great old pics of me riding it.
I have a close to NOS Fred Smith already. It was my fav deck of all time.
I hate the reissue Gonz with "the original" on it instead of his name. So I'd love to get my hands on a real one. It doesn't have to be perfect condition, but it cant be too shredded either. Blue and pink color version would be a bonus.
I'd be okay with reissue Screamer and Dan Wilkes. Although they didn't reissue a black Dan WIlkes...
The SS ATV i think will be really hard to come by either new or old...
Chris Miller can also be a reissue i guess...
I dunno if even want a rip saw... the one i got back in the day delaminated on me right after i got it. Kind of a pain point. |

| You should be able to pick up the Eric Nash scratch off for fairly cheap. $200ish. Not a super popular and wanted deck. |

I see a bunch of the 2nd version, but no 1st version. It was a really great shape! |
