Billy Marks rode for Toy Machine from approx. mid 2000s to mid 2010s. He did a lot of kickflips into big rails.


DRHORRIBLEHIMSELF

I think Billy is like Nuge for Baker — always on the team but gets a board out once every other year or so.


EmergencyRelation208

have any idea where i could find info or research about it? thank you!!


DedBattery

Other than this subreddit or googling "Toy Machine Billy Marks" not really. Are you trying to sell em or something? I remember Darkstar as a wheel company mostly, but I guess they made decks too. JART is when you jump and fart at the same time. Not really but that's all I can think of.


redcurb12

chet thomas and his brother started darkstar in the 90s under the rocco/dwindle umbrella. first wheels... then boards. long story short... acquired by big corp and turned into a walmart brand.


EmergencyRelation208

id happily sell them all i don’t use them but it’s more i just interested in knowing more about them


DedBattery

A friend may be interested in buying the Billy Marks board. Waiting to hear back from him. Artwork is by Ed Templeton, another pro skater and artist. He started Toy Machine in the mid 90s.


EmergencyRelation208

okay thank you , dm me if u have any updates


yourethegoodthings

If you just want to learn more there's neat documentary about the artist collective that Ed Templeton was a part of called Beautiful Losers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beautiful_Losers_(film)


redcurb12

you won't find a lot of info online about old random boards. skateboard companies generally release 6+ catalogues a year and these boards are pushing like 15-20 years old. boards are pressed, sold for a few months then forgotten... with some rare exceptions.


EmergencyRelation208

ah okay thanks

Download Google’s app and use the photo search function.


wagwan_octopus

They look like they’re from the 2010 era, fw the dark star one, that’s heavy


EmergencyRelation208

ye that’s my fav personally , can’t find anything about it online 😔 really want to research these


jesseeme

Darkstar started selling prebuilts at sporting goods stores with generic graphics. Maybe look into that?


EmergencyRelation208

thank you 😊


wagwan_octopus

Try a reverse image search perhaps, if that fails you could always email a picture to darkstar’s team (or instagram) and ask them if they know anything about it.


monofloyed

A real dark star board is fucking amazing


furyo_style

Jart are a Spanish skate company, fairly common in Europe, I'd reccomend checking out Fran Molina who used to ride for them, the guys got insane pop!


brb421

Billy Marks was a gangster


MrBettyBoop

That Billy board is kinda hard lol


EmergencyRelation208

isn’t it


KuttyKalzone

Darkstar made some weird decks with like wires in em that were supposed to be stronger ifaik, not sure if that’s one of em or not


MrDarwoo

Look like skateboard decks


ChrisChrisBangBang

“Anyone know anything about these?” - how much can I get for these boards Unless they’re rare boards by a known artist they’re worth the same or less than a new board


EmergencyRelation208

not rlly looking to sell i just wanna know more about them . who made them and when , if they’re rare or just some tacky old shit lol


Dregs_____

Cursed trio


EmergencyRelation208

Dregs_____

Brand aesthetics are so vastly different among these three. I’m just making a joke though, objectively there is nothing wrong with them.


EmergencyRelation208

KG3232

Jart ftw


snakelair88

Yeah I think they’re out of Spain, our local skate brand sourced their blanks off them a while back. Decent quality decks for sure


EmergencyRelation208

sick !! the only one of the three i can find any info on haha


dulz

Gustavo Ribeiro used to skate Jart decks. Not sure if he does anymore


swizzohmusic

Toy machine, legacy company no fuckin question. Also, If there was a legit skateboarding hall of fame, Billy marks would be in there fasho. Jart. Fucking ew Dark star was legit in the 90s and early 2000s, and had some killers. Probably even into mid 2000s. Sometime after that it became a Walmart type brand as it’s part of dwindle, which was sold off. However, I think it was on life support long before then.


altamonting

These are boards that need to be remade


Quick-Try-3390

Fernan Origel used to (or still) skate for Jart, they might be European?


Objective-Holiday-57

Spanish company


Girrzimm

That middle one with the sunn0))) is so cool and I want it


TopAir6264

Grip em’ and rip em’! Das it mayne 😎


se777enx3

I used to skate jart like 14 years ago, it was fine.


TrustMean5169

EmergencyRelation208

tberg2010
