I bought this lib tech long board in 2001. I am not sure what the actual year of manufacture was. It has 6 plies with the top made of fiberglass and the bottom made of p-Tex. The board is 43.25” long and 9” wide with a 24" wheel base. It was autographed and ridden once by Bucky Lasek about 15 years ago but the autograph has faded to a black smudge behind the front truck holes. The tail got blasted into a curb so I filled it with epoxy. The board is stiff, has some decent concave and a kicked nose and tail. The clear grip tape is dirty and hides the wood grain of the top sheet. Still has plenty of life left in it.
