June 23rd 2022 -
I don’t know anything about boards, so take a look at pictures. This board is in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Robin was great Skateboarder but she was one of the first Female Skaters to have Pro Model with her name on it in the mid 1970s (swipe to see ours in mint condition)The Logan Earth Ski Dura-Lite Robin Logan Model. Robin is also one of the legendary siblings of the “First Family of Skateboarding” and was always a fierce competitor. Robin was inducted into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame in 2015. 2013 release of the Logan Earth Ski, Robin Logan model skateboard autographed by Robin Logan. This was originally released in the 1970s while Robin skated for the Logan Earth Ski skate team. Logan began skating at the age of 4 but didn’t begin competing until 1975 at the Bahne/Cadillac National Championships where she placed 2nd in the women’s freestyle event. Throughout the 1970s, Robin placed first or second at slalom, freestyle and cross country events. She went on to skate until 1980 promoting the Logan Earth Ski brand of skateboards her family owned and appearing in many worldwide exhibitions, television shows and movies. Robin’s brother Bruce Logan began skating in 1959 at the age of 8 with his older brother Brian. They created a skateboarding club, The South Bay Skateboard Club with a few other skaters and had t-shirts and jackets printed but no sponsors. When skateboarding began to take off in 1964 the Logan boys got an official sponsor through the Bing Surfboard shop located down the street from their house. They changed their club name to the Bing Skateboard team and began competing locally. They were featured on Surf’s Up with Stan Richards which was the first time skateboarding was shown on television. They earned second place behind the Hobie team on the live show and didn’t lose a team competition after that. Bruce went on to compete and from 1965 to 1975 winning most every freestyle competition that he entered along with many slalom events. The Logans went on to start the family business of Logan Earth Ski, creating its own skate team which included some of the top skaters of the era including Jay Adams, Laura Thornhill, Tony Alva and, of course, the Logan family. Brian, the oldest brother retired from skating and runs the business while the rest of the family continues to skate. Currently not on view.
