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 Kicktail s, not to mention Grip Tape , and like all early skateboards, it featured clay wheels which offered little to no grip on most riding surfaces.
