Roller Derby Skateboard




First introduced in 1959 , the Roller Derby Skateboard was the first mass-produced skateboard. It was basically a one-tip wooden plank with modified Roller Skates attached to it. Completely lacking features which nowadays are common for skateboards, the Roller Derby had no Concave or even Kicktails , not to mention Grip Tape , and like all early skateboards, it featured Steel wheels which offered little to no grip on most riding surfaces.
