- Al Coker at the Texas Skateboard Museum spent some time setting up a Dan Wilkes reissue skateboard from the 80s to add to his collection. He showed us a huge problem that he often runs into with this old school setup.

One cool grandfather. The holes got smaller because doing nose and tail slides you would grind up the mounting hardware then they were a pain to get off. Good vid guys.
Great information!! Thanks!! We will have to pass that along. Glad you enjoyed.
And doing nose slides the wheels would hit the rail or curb before the base of trucks or deck so NO sliders just sticky bails so that's also why they changed the holes, also PEOPLE were complaining about breaking the base plates right there at the 2 holes so indy changed the design.
Gosk8now! ! small holes dont compare to 80s hole patterns thats why i only buy powell boards they come with 80s hole patterns on there reissue boards but i will compromise with a 87 reissue of the Lake Guts Skates skateboard it comes with modern hole patterns but the board still looks like the OG Lake Guts Skates Skateboard and i might re drill the holes so i can put oldschool trucks on it like it should have
No Spacers between bearings? Al, you're killing me! Nice set-up though!
i remember the task of putting loose ball barings in our wheels on our Val Surf bananna boards we even gripped our plastic bananna boards i found the plastic grooves in the board were not grippy enough then i got a white 1985 Lester Kasai Clown board my first pro board for $14.95 at off the wall skate shop in 1987
Man I loved my Tracker Ultra-lite trucks. I got Gullwing Prototypes on an OG McGill from 87 with Schmitt Silly Stix rails and 64 G-Bones wheels.
That sounds like a killer set up!
It's so crazy I'm looking at those tracker trucks and they look exactly like the ones on my Tony Alva board from the 80s
Oh wow, awesome! Do you still have that setup?
Nice I got McGill snake and skull
Awesome! How do you like your McGill and what did you set it up with?
Geezer Skate Co. yo I got an original McGill that I got in 87. My set up is Gullwing Prototype trucks and G-bones wheels
What a cool skateboard setup with those old trucks and wheels and uncool old school skateboard amazing I have a pair of tracker trucks holy crap and they're the ones that you can't get anymore they're old school I believe they're in their own the '80s era or just in the early '90s they're black and they're really good trucks and I have them on my Tony Alva skateboard from the '80s and what a sick setup that I have and I still have it and that board I haven't really skated it cuz it just means so much to me one of my favorite skateboarders Tony Alva and tracker trucks were awesome I used to skate tracker trucks back in the day what great trucks they were and stuff this was such a cool video and brought back a lot of great memories for me I love the skateboard deck it looks so cool and so sick and so awesome and I love those tracker trucks amazing just loved this video so much cuz it brings back my days when I was younger and stuff back in the '80s and the love I just got back into skateboarding now at the age of 45 I'm getting back into skateboarding learning all the new tricks and everything but this was such an awesome thing I was so passionate with skateboarding God I lived for skateboarding back in the day I'd have the Thrasher magazines and I would have tons of Tran World skateboard magazines and stuff holy crap I'd have piles of skateboard magazines and posters and all of that stuff and I used to skate constantly and things it was this the fun time and really cool when skating it sucked when I stopped skating for so many years and it was missing in my life and I'm glad I'm back doing skateboarding again it was so fun to learn new tricks or just get out when the weather is so beautiful and so nice and just cruise on a really good deck the only Decks that I had back in the '80s cuz it was expensive even back in the '80s for a deck I had a man Hensley H Street I did have a veriflex skateboard and I also had a really cool Tony Alva skateboard from the '80s and it's really cool with tracker trucks and Bones Wheels and swiss bearings this brings back so much good memories awesome video I love🤘❤️🤘
Thank you for sharing your memories! So glad to hear you’re getting back into skateboarding - it’s great isn’t it? Sounds like we are about the same age - it’s a great way to keep the stoke alive!
good to know
Not a problem 😀
Pretty cool!👍
Thanks - glad you enjoyed!
Great video. Al is the best!
Thanks! He is definitely one rad dude!!
I have the exact same Z- Woody mine is a Shogo Kubo, mid tracks and original super juice OJs..... It's up in the attic somewhere with all of the rest of my 70s skate stuff..... cool video
Oh wow, a Shogu Kubo would be awesome to have! He had so much style! Love those OJ wheelS
@@GeezerSkateCo have you ridden the original first-generation OJs..... They are just like the original first-generation road riders and Simms..... The backs are mold poured.... No machining or leave work it was also the first generation of the precision bearing because just two years before these wheels everything was loose ball bearings and cone retainers.....
Cool all over!
Thank you, appreciate you watching this video! Do you rock an old school setup?
Don't know if they got any better, but Gullwings had cheap kingpins back in the day. Switched to Indy/Thunders and never looked back. Then put grindking kingpins in the Indys. Golden Ponyboy. 🤙
Awesome - thanks for the skate hack!
Had a couple Z-woody Shogo Kubos back in the late 70s
Do you still have them? Those are classics!
The moved the exterior truck bolts closer to the axel to reduce tail grind damange to bolts/nuts. But makes em harder to change.
Ah, that was the reason? Thanks for the knowledge!
I'm surprised that you would not mention the importance of bearing spacers or wheel spacers....
Good call out - for this setup, it was just a wall-hanger, but yes, especially with these big wheels, gotta have the spacers!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤟🏼👊🏼😎
I have (purchased in 2013 online NEW) a Tommy Guerrero Iron Gate (blue stain). Just at the rear, on front of the back truck says MCMLXXXIX (1989). Is this the issue/press year?
Hi Daniel, is this deck from the reissue series or a NOS one? Either way, the date stamped on it indicates the year it was issued. For the reissues, I believe they all have the year they were reissued stamped on, to avoid confusion with the originals, but I could be wrong about that. Unfortunately I don't have one to verify currently.
Hi mate, im doing a set-up of a Jeff Kendall pro series 86 and was recently given a pair of powell peralta bombers which seem huge like 66mm or i have a pair of original alva (not sure of name but are a little smaller at about 60mm and am wondering which would be more authentic for time period ,?also i was wondering too ,i have a Danny way H-street blackhole model and was wondering what would be the size of wheel back in about 90-91 just before we went with tiny wheels or would it have been the small wheels ? As a kid i had many nice boards but dream of getting a sims Stabb again i had one with gullwings bullets and clear grip ..
Hi Matthew, thanks for checking out our video and your questions!
For our personal preference, 60mm is the perfect wheel size! 66mm is way too big, though if you're doing a lot of ramp riding, that might be nice.
For a little more authentic wheel choice, try a 63mm.
1990-91, wheel sizes were mostly in the high-50s (56-59mm) and low 60s (60-63mm). You can't go wrong with 57mm or 60mm.
A Sims Staab would be sick with the setup you described! Let us know if you get that!
Geezer Skate Co. Yeah would kill for that Stabb again even as a reissue, but alas i dont think i will ever own one again as they go for over a $1000 here in Australia, yeah i went the Alvas ,which are 59-60mm's as those Powell Bombers are huge at 66mm , they are a strange set of wheels and randomly came across them .thx for reply .
Ever gonna use them skateboards on the wall ? I've 41 boards(different sizes & shapes,from17 & a half inches to 46 longboards,2 of my collection are wide 80's style that's making comebacks. I use all as I could and can maybe 2 or 3 or more a day. Sessions from half an hour to 2 hours & once maybe twice a day or more maybe.
that's why i only buy reissue powell peralta boards they have 80s hole patterns
i had tracker ultralight s and gullwimg
How did you like them? Do you still ride either one?
No spacers or washers? Back to old school
Haha, yep, those were left out. Thankfully, this was a hanger, not a rider.
I think he also shot Lincoln
Haha - yep, Dan Wilkes Booth - John’s evil twin!
Dam lucky want Dem wheels mosly
Dem wheels are nice!
Don't like da trucks or deck tho
Indy has the reissue trucks that fit.
Oh yeah? That’s rad and a good tip! Thanks for the info!!
Yeah I had to find out the hard way though, I bought a reissue Steve Cab dragon and bats deck and wanted the matching color monster trucks but they didn't fit the mounting holes in the deck so I had to get independent with the base plates of the 80's-90's to even mount the trucks but hey Indy's and spitfire classics 60mm is really feeling like 1985 all over again !
Ahh yes Love that - would love to see your set up!
@@GeezerSkateCo I wish I knew how to show pictures but it's the brand new reissue Powell peralta Steve Cab dragon and bats with black background and indy stage XI trucks with the extra holes base plates, China bone red bearings independent risers and 60mm spitfire classics 99a hardness with the red spiral graphic and the top grip tape cut so you can totally see the top graffiti too !
It's SO sweet to ride like it's the 1989 all over again !!!! Fun !
@@auntjenifer7774 just got my Cab Dragon Bats reissue, ran into the same issue. You would think SkateOne would point that out to folks. Nope had to wait an additional week for the replacement Indys. I'm set up for just cruising around, I'm 47 and ain't trying to break bones. I've got Indy 159s with 60mm OJ Super Juice w/ red bearings. Just sticking with flat ground no ramps ... LOL
Question do they still make tracker trucks
They do! www.trackertrucks.com/
That music is REAL loud, loved the video tho !
Thank you, appreciate the feedback
i only like the oldschool Skate trucks
Why the bolt pattern changed? Nose slides man!
Nose slides are the reason they changed the bolt pattern? Awesome! Learned something new today!
