POWELL PERALTA MIKE McGILL SKATEBOARD F14 1983

/ 15 days ago

all_things_analog has Mike McGill deck from Powell Peralta that has been coasting under the radar. Check out his description he knows more than me. “To start with, when the F-14 was first released in 1981 it came in a 6-ply wood/fiberglass construction, distinguished by the smooth, rounded wheel-wells, and a two-color screen-printed graphic. A 7-ply wood model was then introduced with the traditional, if not trademark, Powell-Peralta wheel-wells and the addition of a short-lived “7-ply Hardrock Maple” tagline* to the same two-color graphic.

At some point in either late-1982 or early-1983, Powell-Peralta added a third screen-printed color to its production boards and introduced a new version of the F-14 graphic—the main difference being a revised rendering of the jet exhaust. The F-14 was eventually retired in 1984 and replaced by the iconic Skull & Snake, an image much more synonymous with Mike McGill.

This rare board is the 1983 7-ply incarnation complete and as originally set up with its independent trucks and g&s yoyo wheels. The board was not abused and is definitely in very nice shape. Original powell peralta sticker is even preserved. There are a couple of minor scratches and divots, but that’s to be expected for a skateboard that was ridden.”

World Industries Mike Vallely Circus deck

/ 22 days ago

Does anyone how the actual correct way to pronounce “Vallely”?! I always pronounced it the way it’s spelled but I always hear skaters call him “Mike Valley” and you’d think they would know, right? Anywho, jungle1110 has one of whatshisname’s early pro models for World Industries for sale. The deck is skated but the bottom graphic is still pretty decent looking and the top graphic looks great. I loved when WI would do the over-sized top graphics. So cool. Keep an eye on this one for sure because the starting price is nice n’ low.
