Nash III, founder of Nash Skateboards. Nash was the fourth generation of his family born in Fort Worth. He attended Charles E. Nash elementary school, named for his grandfather, and worked for the family business, Nash Hardware at a young age. One of the first skateboards by the brand is on display at the Smithsonian Institute. The’Goofy Foot Sidewalk Surfer’ from NASH, shown here, was one of the original, mass produced skateboards of the late 1960s. The plastic wheels and metal ball bearings made riding dangerous and only the skilled rider could perform tricks or rode downhill with any success. It wasn’t until 1970 with the introduction of the urethane wheel by Frank Nasworthy, that skateboarding became a legitimate competition sport. The urethane wheel provided a smooth ride and enabled skaters to go faster and maneuver the skateboard in ways they couldn’t with the cumbersome metal, clay or plastic wheel. Currently not on view.

Vintage Free Former Aluminum Skateboard w/ ALS Industry Trucks and Free Former Urethane Wheels. To save you the trouble of doing the arithmetic, that places the production date of this classic piece of Americana in the late 1970s. Just as rare as the board’s immaculate condition is its solid aluminum composition, machined and formed from a piece of bar stock to its finished dimension of 3/8 (just under 5mm) thick. ALS Industries produced a limited number of these all-metal boards in small runs during the Summers of 1976 and 1977 to coincide with The Free Former California World Professional Skateboard Championships, one of the first skateboarding competitions held in Long Beach Arena and sponsored by Free Former Skateboards. These units were not made for sale to the general public on the commercial market. Instead, they were distributed as promotional items to official Free Former Skateboard dealers, predominantly on the West Coast. Estimates by former ALS Industry employees of the total number of these promotional aluminum units manufactured range from 100 to 200 per year for the two years they were made, making this example among the rarest and most collectible skateboards ever produced by Free Former and ALS Industries. As stated before, the condition of this board is simply incredible, making it all the more rare and coveted a piece for collectors. From the unblemished brushed finish throughout to the original grip tape stripes that adorn the top to. The crystal-clear amber of the original “Free Former Urethane” branded wheels, you will be hard-pressed to find another board like it anytime soon. Take advantage of your opportunity to own this incredible piece of skateboarding history!

When cleaning your banner, wipe it down with a soft, damp, nonabrasive cloth. Try using microfiber towels or soft cotton towels. Avoid sponges and other abrasive materials. T use harsh cleaning chemicals, detergents, or solvents; this can fade the color of the banner and damage it as well. If you have to use soap to clean your banner, use something that is mild and free of odors. Remember to mix a solution of water and soap to use on your banner. Remember to wipe off all the soap from your banner before letting it dry. T use paper towels, they are abrasive and can damage your banner. Ensure your banner is dry before storing it. Store your clean, dry banner rolled up in a container and place in a dry, cool place that? S out of sunlight. Try storing it so that letters and logos aren? T touching each other; this helps ensure colors don? T rub off on each other. Finally, when hanging your banner, remember to use the proper tools. T want your banner to fall on the ground, get stepped on, or damaged from it not being hung properly. The best way to hang your banner that has grommets is to use display accessories, which expand the functionality for hanging your banner in a range of situations while ensuring that your banner is secure. These accessories work great with grommets. Bungee cords are excellent for pulling your banner tight when displayed. Simply hook one end of the cord onto the grommet (included for free with all of our banners) and the other to an anchor point of your choosing. Make sure there is adequate tension from each bungee to pull the banner evenly across its surface. Nylon rope is one of the most common ways to hang banners, whether or not your banner has grommets. Loop through the grommets or feed through pole pockets to secure banners to posts, fences, or suspend them from ceilings of overhangs. Metal chains, fishing line, and other durable materials can also be used in place of rope but we do not offer these on our website as we? Ve found rope to be the best of these types of hanging accessories. Hanging clips, commonly referred to as carabiners, can be easily clipped through grommets, which can then clip to anchor points or objects. Carabiners can be used for both permanent or temporary display. These make a great option for displaying a banner on a chain link fence, as the carabiners can hook into the fence and to the sign through the metal grommets. Zip ties are designed for temporarily displaying your banner on fences (chain link fences are the best for this). We recommend using zip ties for casual, outdoor events (fairs, food truck advertising, grand openings, sales, birthday parties, and more)! Zip ties are also more commonly used for longer periods of time as they are more permanent in nature than bungee cords, rope or clips. To hang your banner using zip ties, simply put the zip tie through the grommet and the anchor point of wherever you? Re hanging it then secure it by attaching the ends of the zip tie together. To remove it, simply cut the zip ties. Suction Cups with Hooks. Suction cups allow you to hang banners on non-porous (smooth), flat surfaces. The most common application surface for these is glass. Hooks extend from the suction cups that can go right into the grommets of your banner. S extremely important to mention that suction cups are not meant for large or heavy banners. The weight of larger banners can be too much for the suction ability of this display method.
