Madrid Scary Bat Rails sticker 4″x 2.5″ in Green, Red yellow and black. Absolutely OG. Madrid was one of the first to develop modern concaves, and they did a number of sweet collabs, including Vans, Back to the Future and Stranger Things!
Jerry Madrid started shaping surfboards in his parent’s garage back in the late 1960’s. When he couldn’t surf, he shaped skateboards for himself and his friends.
Then in 1976, while he was working as a firefighter, he enlisted the help from his brothers Jeff and Jim and started Madrid.
**Skate Hoarder NOS – A Skate Time Capsule!**
Rick Tetz here, bringing you a blast from the past with my exclusive Skate Hoarder NOS collection. This isn't just any collection; it's a treasure trove of skateboards, clothing, stickers, and decks straight from the legendary CalStreets vault.
**From Cranbrook to Vancouver**
My journey kicked off back in '76 as a bright-eyed buyer at Kade's Cycle in Cranbrook BC. Fast forward through over four epic decades in the skate scene, and here I am, ready to roll out pieces of history to you, my fellow skate collectors across Canada.
**A Skate Legacy Unveiled**
From the early days at Skate Central on 38 Lonsdale, to the adrenaline-fueled times at Outrageous Skate & BMX near Seylynn Bowl, and through the era of CalStreets, I've been stashing away the coolest, most epic skate items. And now, it's time they found new homes where they'll be appreciated and cherished.
This collection is more than just skate gear; it's a piece of Canadian skate history, a testament to the culture we've built and loved. Whether you're a seasoned skater reliving the glory days or a new shredder eager to own a piece of the legacy, there's something here for everyone.
So, get ready to dive into a world where every item tells a story, every sticker brings back a memory, and every deck has a tale to ride.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Let's keep the wheels turning and the memories alive!
Have a great skate! Rick Tetz
