After impressively claiming 3rd place overall in the Gold Cup Series and earning the title of "Rookie of the Year" in 1980, Steve Caballero established himself as a contender deserving of his own pro signature model. Initially, he was presented with a straightforward graphic featuring a propeller and a skull, which he turned down. Instead, he submitted his own designs, including a notable crouching dragon concept, which the team then pursued. Artist VCJ refined this design multiple times before finalizing the ink. The deck made its debut in December 1980, and due to its overwhelming popularity, the graphic remained unchanged until 1986.

Board Construction:
Powell-Peralta skateboards utilize a lightweight yet robust yellow birch material, bonded with water-resistant glue using proprietary AirLam™ presses. This construction method enhances the board's stiffness, strength, pop, and overall durability, ensuring a long-lasting performance. Each board comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.

Truck Design:
The Mini Logo™ trucks are engineered to deliver strength, stability, and smooth turning capabilities. They incorporate premium alloys, high-rebound bushings, and heat-treated axles, providing confidence for skaters whether they are beginners or advancing in their skills. These trucks are rigorously designed and tested by the professional team at Skate One, and they are built to withstand the impacts and demands of street, park, and ramp skating. Different bushings are offered depending on deck widths: medium-soft for 7" to 7.75" widths, and medium-hard for 8.0" and wider decks. Like the boards, they are also covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects.

Wheel Performance:
The wheels from Powell-Peralta are crafted from durable hot-cast polyurethane, known for their fast rolling, gripping, and sliding capabilities. For over 43 years, these wheels have maintained a top-tier status among professional skaters. The medium hardness of 90A is ideal for skateboards with widths ranging from 7" to 7.75", while a harder 101A is suitable for sizes 8.0" and above. A lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects adds to the peace of mind for users.

Bearing Quality:
Mini Logo bearings are Skate Rated™, ensuring they roll smoothly and can endure dirt, dust, impacts, and moisture commonly encountered during skateboarding. Featuring precision-ground races, mirror-smooth balls, a high-speed nylon ball retainer, and Speed Cream™ racing lubricant, these bearings offer ease of maintenance with their removable protective shields. This combination allows skaters to maximize the potential of their high-rebound wheels, enhancing overall speed and enjoyment while skating. A lifetime warranty against manufacturer defects is also provided.
