Yeah I got some info for you, Gus. It's a Quicksilver skateboard that weighs 50KG.

| More info: It doesn't weigh 50 KG! The Quicksilvers were an experimental board that George Powell made with Tom Sims during the mid/late 70s. Cool flexy boards with aluminum (or aluminium if you're from the UK) skins and wood cores. The 50 KG was made for your lighter (Bert LaMar) skater, while the 70 KG was made for your slightly heavier (but still smaller than me) skater. They also made a later version with a kicktail � the Quicktail. Pretty catchy, huh? |

I like the 'bumpers'! I bet the dad of the guy that owned that deck put them on!

they also came in a 90kg size for the heavier riders, I have one and it's a good thing it's a 90...
little harder call on it's value, don't recognize the trucks and wheels but the deck itself is probably worth between $150 and $200, maybe more if you find the right buyer...jmho |

| They look exactly like Sky hooks that were installed wrong. They should be mounted on top of the deck. |
