We are proud to introduce a custom painted Blockhead Dragster model in a beautiful sunburst orange, with yellow tone!
Young phenom Omar Hassan was killing it in the pro ranks not only in vert but in the street contests and also ripping it up in the real streets. Omar wanted a board that was better suited for shredding the streets as the “Magic Carpet” board was designed more for vert. The street dragster board features a double drilled wheelbase/ nose for more options.
The graphic took the “Chrome Dome” character from his previous “Smoke” graphic and put him hailing ass in a dragster. The “chrome domes” were Omar’s OC vert crew who would all paint their helmets metallic silver.
PLEASE NOTE: Limited to 50 boards, hand numbered and signed by Omar.

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.
