This Powell Peralta OG Ripper Checker Reissue Deck is not just a skateboard; it’s a piece of skating history, blending classic design with modern craftsmanship.
The Ripper, an iconic figure in skateboard art, was created in 1983 by the acclaimed Powell-Peralta artist, V.C. Johnson. Starting as a “Bones Sold Here” dealer window sticker, the design soon adorned t-shirts and eventually skateboard decks.
