The Powell Peralta Winged Ripper pin is the embodiment of one of the most iconic graphics (not just skateboarding, all graphics in general) of all time!
This timeless design will bring the haunt well into the 22nd century. As creepy as a skeleton bursting through something is, he looks kind of happy don’t you think?
The Winged Ripper graphic was created by artist V.C. Johnson in 1986. Originally it was used as the 1986 Bones Brigade Summer Tour graphic on T-shirts and stickers. Later the graphic was redesigned and used as the top graphic on decks replacing the Oval Dragon. The “XT” refers to Extra Tough Bonite construction, which was later changed to “7-P” When Bonite construction was discontinued.
You’ll be stoked as well once you slap this pin on your gear. From bland to boisterous, the simple addition of one accessory can give a burst of life to any piece of plain clothing or bag that needs it.
With a lot of the new brands coming into the market, the Powell Peralta brand stays strong, now and forever.
