Description:Up for sale is one of the most iconic and cultural skateboards of all time....the red dip Skull & Snake deck from the early to mid 1980’s . This board is in used condition but has been very well taken care of. The skateboard comes from a smoke free home and have always taken very good care of it. It has been safely stored away from dust & sunlight. This board is 100% original and authentic. It has not been touched up or anything like that.
This deck is truely a time piece of pop culture and really is a piece of art. The dragon graphic on the top side is my favorite part of this deck. Combining the Pig shape, red dip paint, grip tape with the classic metallic gold Dragon creates the most iconic and well known image of vintage Skateboarding! For a board 35 years old The Dragon is in the exact condition you would hope! The gold has a that bright and vibrant gold metallic shine: Any possible imperfections are overshadowed by its beautiful display. In my opinion, the condition of this board is really perfect, you can feel the soul in this used pop-art canvas. The deck still has its original grip tape.
Condition Details:Deck:• The paint displays beautifully and has a nice apple colored metallic shine when looking at under bright light.• The graphics are in excellent overall condition with only a small amount of cosmetic wear from a sticker on the left side of skill but blends in. The Skull & Sword design really is beautiful with only a little bit of wear;it displays just like you would want it to.• The gold dragon on the top side is in amazing shape with hardly any Wear. Dragons gold color is bright and vibrant without any wear. The topside really shows how little this board was used.• Included with the skateboard is a brand new old stock pair of blue Rib Bones. Only the top screw is holding the two plates on, A different model of plates was originally used/drilled, i’m pretty sure it was Powell Peralta mini bones. The original rails were drilled in using wood screws instead of T-Nuts which is always a great bonus not having the ugly metal screws throughout the top side.Wheels:• These wheels might be my favorite part of this skateboard. This has a set of blue Powell Peralta Street-Bones Wheels! This model of wheels was only manufactured for a very small amount of time in the early 1980s.• It is safe to say these wheels alone have a $200-$250 value on their own! It is extremely hard to find any Street bones wheels, but insanely hard to find a set with such little previous use like these. • Most of the original Powell Peralta wheels manufactured between 1980 and 1985 are more sought after than any other skateboard wheel out there. The blue whale specifically are always the most in demand and hard to find because most of them out there turn into a dark green with time. These wheels still have a good blue color to them, my personal favorite feature.• Not many Street-Bones still exist, especially in this condition. You can tell these wheels were used for a very very small amount of time, they all have their original shape without any damage. Extremely rare model wheels only sold 82-83. These wheels are blue and still hold onto the original color. Only a small amount of previous years, you can’t ask for better shape than these.Trucks:• This pair of Tracker Sixtrack Trucks are in new old stock condition! These have the metal style Black Base w/ Blue Color Hanger.
Good Investment!I hate to get rid of the skateboard because I know I’m never going to get the same model / in such condition again. As you probably know, in the last few years all “pig shaped” Powell Peralta decks have a come extremely scarce and hard to find. No matter what age, these Vintage Powell Peralta model skateboards with the iconic graphics Will always b sought after. Not only do these images define a period in time, but these graphics are responsible for creating the support of skateboarding as we know it… And I’ll say that as a fact!! These iconic models such as this: sword, skull and snake, the Ripper and other historic graphics have continuously increased in value and demand while they become more scarce and hard to find every year!
