I’m sure this is a reproduction badge, moulding doesn’t look as sharp as the originals, this surely would put must off especially at that price

it definately is thats why i put "even with the plastic badge"

which is a real shame as its a beauty otherwise

I’m pretty sure the originals were plastic too, see image of mine on my 42” speed, this I bought new back in the day !

That looks better and sharper than the one I had which looked like this, basically it looks like one was used to stamp the other.

What’s your thoughts on the price this made, none of the individual components were in great or even that good a condition but if you break it down it’s probably about right

yes it did pretty well considering the cond of it all

Yes I bought it as said I don’t think it was dear , I like the og condition of it , I’m going to take off the grip off the top , maybe tidy the edges a bit clean up the trucks and yo-yos and fit some better condition old bushings to the trucks , it’s first Benjyboard I’ve actually bought for a few years

It’s should clean up well, a good blast with a hairdryer or heat gun should get the grip off easily enough.

Some people have amassed a great collection of Benjyboards I currently hove none

I’ve had 2 at the same time twice but completely different boards, wish I had decent photos but they are gone too

i can beat that as i have 1 in my collection

i think glen must be the record holder

Well another one saved, you’ve got a little work on your hands but hopefully you’ll end up with an honest well loved example!

Here it is , pleased with it , peeled the grip off with hot hair dryer , half an hour of a job pleased to see the OG finish underneath so grips been on since new , I'll tidy it a bit but I like it with the yellowed yoyos sort of suit it
Last 2 pics with grip tape still on as I got it

it certainly loks a lot nicer minus the grip,the power pivots had its moneys worth

i wonder how many of those were sold over the yrs,virtually everyone i knew had one back then

Posted: **Fri Sep 04, 2026 8:46 pm**

Yeh it's certainly had its share of tail skids in its time , it's a testament to how well these comp 2s were made and how tough they were as it's still in good shape and with the laminate construction even though it's quite a thin board they hold up well

i see the ebay comp's been reduced in price,its only £800 now
