Continuing Skull Skates Motobilt Obsession

Jan 31, 2017Skull Skates

It's no secret that the truck of choice for Skull Skates riders like Carlos Longo, PD, Feed-I, Simon Snottface, etc. all rode Motobilt trucks back in the 80s. Customers reliving the past from the mid 80s still come by PD's Hot Shop in Vancouver, BC asking if the trucks are still available. In the midst of the continued interest in the use and history of possibly the cultest truck of all time, a local recently came by the Hot Shop with a board mounted with Motobilt 'Burly' hangers, intact Motobilt bushings and baseplates marked MOTOBOARD. Heavy find as the precursor company to Motobilt was indeed 'Motoboard International'.
