The Inspiration Behind the Bull Dog Graphic: Celebrated for his fearless attitude, local Santa Barbara skater Frankie Hill excites audiences with his daring stunts, particularly during video shoots. He gained notable recognition in Public Domain, but his pivotal moment came in the video Ban This, where he showcased a breathtaking one minute and 38 seconds of groundbreaking tricks on enormous rails and gaps. Following his impressive part in Ban This, Frankie was inundated with fan mail from those eager to see him turn professional. Fortune smiled on him as an opportunity arose due to Mike Vallely's departure from the team.

Capitalizing on this moment, Frankie started riding a modified version of Vallely's board, which featured a larger nose. During a trip with Hastings, he discovered a bulldog logo in an Amsterdam coffee shop, which inspired what would become his first professional graphic. Illustrated by the talented Sean Cliver in 1990, this graphic has become iconic within the skateboarding community.

Construction of the Powell Peralta Reissue: The Powell Peralta reissue decks are meticulously crafted to mirror the original 1980s designs. Each deck showcases the authentic graphics as well as the precise shape and concave. Our production is handled by a trusted partner in Mexico, utilizing U.S. hard rock maple and glue that conforms to our high standards, ensuring resilience against delamination throughout the deck’s usable lifespan.
