Clyde Singleton recently posted about that on insta and Jim Gray (who ran ACME) hilariously piped up with his knickers in a twist trying to defend it. Notably, he was silent when asked what benefits it actually brought to the table.

Haha, Clyde makes me laugh so much. IIRC the bearings just popped out of the seat if any tricks were attempted 
So I’ve now tested it out.
Essentially it rides like a new wood board, so it has slightly more pop than my 2-year-old old wood board. What they promise is that it keeps on riding like that, and never chips, delaminates or loses its pop.
The one big difference I noticed is that I usually ride with rails. So I went into a boardslide expecting to glide along effortlessly and it stopped after about 6 inches. I might try getting used to sliding without rails rather than drilling into fibreglass.

Try waxing the board first I guess?

I’ve had DMs off him too trying to trade stuff. He’s never offered anything I’d call a fair trade. I’m not really an active collector any more anyway it’s not as fun now.

There’s a Matt Hensley black label board for sake on eBay that also has the Penguin books penguin icon on it, same as the Huf board in that video.
Is there a connection or story behind its use?
Don’t think there’s any connection. Hensley deck came out much later. I think Hensley has a penguin tattoo or something like that.

The guy had a Clean board and an Especial deck. Plus the no name girl/chocolates. For me that’s some nice collecting.
If someone has a Daewon song world industries deck with the white tiger, or Ron Allen Keys of Existence lying about let me know.

Yeah he has an amazing collection, seems pretty sound too. Just needs to let go of the bangers if he wants to add new ones

Some great boards there that you don’t see very often. A very expensive hobby these days though. I only have a couple of boards now as my sticker collecting has well and truly taken over these days.

Anyone remember a board, it was in rad product page in black and white iirc, early popsicle board. I bet @jimo will know it. Cartoon of a monkey holding a load of balloons floating over a city. For some reason I thought it was a kit Erikson but have looked on AoS and I don’t think it’s his. Can’t remember the company. Would love to get my hands on one.
Yeah the prices are wild but have calmed down a little bit recently. A few years back somebody offered me £20k each for certain boards I had. I said no because boards are better than money but at that time prices were going nuts mainly cos that person was spending millions acquiring decks. I know he has over 2000 decks right now and he will have paid an average of a grand each with some much more.

So the board was called “curious john” and after a bit of searching it was actually based on a series of books called “curious George”, a monkey.
Found the book the original artwork was in:

The only reason I knew it is because I had it.
