BTTF Marty McFly Valterra skateboard

[Adomeitw]

Pulled out my old decks to revisit this. Been a while since I was actively researching the topic. I own an original Valterra Splatter deck. The ones sold in department stores like K-Mart back in the day. It does not have the two-color splatter pattern typically seen. I refer to it as a series one and the other a series two. I recall finding that info somewhere while researching the deck, but have long lost track of all the sources of info. Take it for what you will. I also own the Valterra Splatter deck reissued by Madrid several years ago. The department store deck and the Madrid deck are significantly different in shape and size. The vintage deck is as flat as a pancake. The Madrid deck has a very slightly concave surface as seen with the screen used board. In the photos above with Eric and the pro skateboarder, the decks they are holding match near identical to the reissue board Madrid produced. They do not match the department store board. Here are some pics of both decks, some vintage (4-hole) Invader trucks, newer (6-hole) Invader trucks, vintage orange Sure-grip bushings, vintage white pivot cups, various truck coppers, and yellow Madrid Fly wheels (etched not embossed). Let me know if you’d like any specific info about any of them.

wow nice thanks for the info what is the size of your Valterra ( in terms and width and length ) also do you have any ideas what the screen used board was based of in terms of the deck? ( my guess is the 1983 concave Madrid explosion but I could easily be wrong )

Trucks were invader 800

The original trucks were not Invaders. That's what they were originally thought to be, and so were used on some of the replica boards. The accurate trucks were later identified as Tracker trucks, either sixtrax or extrax if I recall, depending on the offset of your re-issue wheels.

Indeed; Tracker trucks ExtraX with the right wheels.
