Alpine Sports Adverts

Right from issue one of Skateboard! (UK) in August 1977 Alpine Sports dominated with their amazing 5 to 6 page run of ads.

Perhaps borrowing a leaf from the Val Surf ads in Skateboarder (USA) the Alpine ads featured all your dreams set ups along with nice touches such as wheels shown in ‘actual size’. This was the glossy side of Skateboarding.

After Skateboard! folded in 1979 Alpine was still keeping Skating alive with a regular newsletter edited by Tim Leighton-Boyce who went on to edit RAD (UK).
