Last one we have in storage this is a rare Jay Adams Deathbox Skateboard is a vintage-style skateboard made by the brand Deathbox in the United States. This skateboard is designed for outdoor sports enthusiasts who enjoy skateboarding and longboarding. With its retro design and high-quality construction, this skateboard is sure to appeal to both experienced skaters and beginners looking to add a unique and stylish board to their collection.
The Flyaway helmet was jointly developed by Tuzo Jerger at Kanoa, and legendary Z-boy Jay Adams although Tuzo probably just showed Jay a bunch of prototypes and Jay just said, that one. They came in plain, solid-color painted fiberglass, or, for an extra charge, you could get the hand painted airbrushed stripes like you see on the helmet above. Originally they came in blue and a red-orange color, but soon black appeared, and Tom Sims requested that a an airbrushed white version be made for their team riders. The helmet shells and straps were made in California, and final assembly was done in Baja California. This one is a size small. It still has all the original Sims stickers, including the custom red snakes that were used only on these helmets. Straps, buckles, and foam are all original. If you want to replace the foam, Marshall Wolf at Flyaway Helmets in Marina del Rey, California (maker of reproduction Flyaways), can sell you a replacement foam set.
One of a kind trucks created for and skated by jay adams. They were then given to a buddy of mine who I bought a bunch of original skateboard stuff from. They don’t exist anywhere but here. Very cool rare piece of skateboard history. Trucks are bombproof and 10 wide.
