Powell Peralta Classic Bones Brigade Boards

Propaganda was the first real skate video I ever watched. My friend Rick had it and we watched it over and over again. The first part went to Frankie Hill and it blew me away. And in an era when 'enders' didn't exist, his mute grab over the huge grass gap will always be one of my favorite best last tricks.

Powell Peralta is re-releasing old decks from that era. Above are some of the ones I remember best. L to R: Frankie Hill, Ray Barbee, and Mike McGill. The decks wouldn't really mean anything to someone who didn't grow up with them. But I love them, with their weird shapes and graphics. They help me remember what skating was like back when I was 11 years old - pure fun.
