About the Skull & Snake Artwork:

Just as Mike McGill was perfecting the 540 McTwist in the summer of 1984 at Swedish summer camp, V.C.J. was working on a new deck graphic for him. Since the "Skull & Bones" theme was proving to be popular, that was the direction chosen for McGill's new deck. Mike's input was to add the snake and lightning bolts since there is an abundance of both in his home state of Florida. McGill's Skull & Snake is truly a classic skateboard icon.

About the deck:

NEW Powell Peralta popsicles are made in the Skate One China factory using Skate One AirLam® presses, and the same maple and glue to match strict engineering specifications. These new decks have assorted color stained top veneers along with a red center ply. They’re light, thin, have excellent torsional rigidity, and crisp pop.

Great for beginners to pro level skating at an awesome price.  Works well in the streets, skateparks, pools, freestyle, bombing hills or just pushing to the store.

Premium quality, 7 ply hard-rock maple, made right.
