    I still have my Tony Hawk Bird Claw deck…only it’s blue (haven’t found a pic of one on the net yet so…rare? Who knows…). Still has rat bone wheels and independent trucks from the year I got it for my 9th bday! Haha! Good condition…have the plastic rail guards and tail guards too…minor separation in the side of the deck due to age. Thinking of getting it restored. Top is undamaged…just took the grip tape off. Love the nostalgic value of the deck!

    Picked a white Jeff kendall pumpkin deck out of the trash over five years ago, currently restoring that beast as best I can.. stoked to shred a board that’s four years older than I am !

    Those are all great graphics and definitely represent the golden age of skateboard graphics in my humble opinion. I’m still skating my Sims New Wave team deck that I’ve had since new. Just picked up an ’86 G&S Billy Ruff deck and a mint built ’88 Vision Ken Park Crystal Ball.

  5. Pistache says:

    nice collection, we had a few of these back in the days, but most of them are dead now lol. got a few in mint condition though ;)

    Far out….nostalgia….still got my silver Hawk Claw deck stored away. Australia 1988-91: the deck, grip tape, trucks, bearings, wheels..all saved up for n bought over a period of time. back then a full setup hit right on the $300 mark which was pretty big money for a high school kid.

    Awesome stuff!

  8. Ali S says:

    those were the days, i wish i could go back…..i know im older and don’t see things the same, but it was totally different back then, the kids today don’t have what we had…those were special times

  9. AL says:

    shit takes you back man …. i used to shredd the shit outta my rob roskopp down the south bank …definately the days !!!!

  10. Andrew Byers says:

    I used to have the Natas Panther from when i was about ten until 14 (best board i ever had. this older guy convinced me to sell it to him when i got a new board, wish i kept it. i thought i would get another one some day or a better board. i wish i still had it. i do still have my Jim Thiebaud and i got Tony Hawk to sign it when he was on tour here in South Africa with Ray Barbie, i got Ray’s and Tony’s signature on a pink sweater.
    After that i got an Alien Workshop which i still have it’s pale blue and the alien dace is scrathed off from board slides.

  11. Thanks thanks thanks! I was looking for something along lines of this for hours and couldn’t find it.

    Still got my Jason Jesse Sungod (the gold one, not blue). Always wanted a Jeff Kendall Pumpkin. Great to see these graphics after all the years.

    those were the days…

  14. Nick Fortes says:

    YES! My first deck was a silver Tony Hawk (bird skull) with hot pink griptape. Memories. Love the old graphics, Mark Gonzalez and the old Natas Kaupas were some favs back then. You can still get reissue MG decks although they don’t say Mark Gonzalez anymore, they just say, “The Original Vision”

    I LOVED those Roskopp graphics.
