On a handful of 
overrun Hard Times 2 Reissue decks we have created this Special Edition based on a classic Ron Cameron Blockhead ad illustration from 1990. The simple character is a bold departure from the scribble scratch graphics that adorn the Hard Times series. This is not a new number or new direction for the series but just a one-time run so grab one while you can!
ACID RAIN!!! To make these even more limited we really went off making each one different from the next, truly one-of-a-kind works of art, hand screened by Damon at Watson laminates (thanks!).
The deck is manufactured to the same specs as original Hard Times 2 from 1990 and is hand numbered and signed by Ron Cameron and myself. Oh and to make them even more special, some of them have a custom spray painted dot under the number (OK the reality of it is I f’kd up on some of the numbers so this was the best way to fix it 🙂 Dave B.

Blockhead Skateboards, which took its roots in a Northern California garage in 1985 under the leadership of Dave Bergthold, had a remarkable journey that spanned approximately a decade. During this period, CALSTREETS played a crucial role in distributing Blockhead skates throughout Canada in the '80s. This collaboration led to the forging of enduring friendships, unforgettable moments, the launch of successful careers, the creation of iconic skate ramps, and a wealth of unforgettable skateboarding experiences.
The impact of Blockhead on the skateboarding world was profound and multifaceted. Be it the original and striking artwork by Ron Cameron, the intense and heated sessions on 'The Blockhead Ramp,' or the numerous talented individuals who emerged from this era to leave their mark on the skateboard industry as professionals and industry shapers, Blockhead's legacy remains deeply ingrained in the fabric of skateboarding history.
