80s LOVE - OG & Reissue Skateboard Decks
If you love the 80s as much as I do...I think you'll enjoy this channel.
I want you to feel like you're hanging out in the skate shop with your crew...watching the latest Powell-Peralta Bones Brigade VHS video and drooling over the latest Transworld or Thrasher mag. This channel is all about the sounds, smells, graphics, colours and good times of skateboarding in the 80s.

How many were produced?
Pretty sure there was 1000 for the Series 6 LM.
I know this is 3 years old, but I was his neighbor in Carlsbad. I was a 12 year old paperboy and would knock on his door and ask to buy decks and stickers etc..I would use my earnings to buy decks and wheels and stay was always so damn cool and generous. They were stoked that I loved skateboarding so much. Sean Mortimer was just as rad and I’m eternally grateful to have that experience as a kid. RIP Ray. Such a bummer
That's an awesome story...thanks for sharing. So rad that you were able to get some time with Ray...he truly sounded like an amazing person. RIP Ray
I thought it was Madrid lucero was on before he started the label. Mind you im from the 2000s era so I didn't know much about the dude until I got into my 20s. Also, living in Scotland doesn't help.
He was with Madrid then Schmitt Stix before he started Lucero Ltd. then to Black Label.
My first pro board..green and black. I wasn’t too familiar with all the skaters from 87 and couldn’t afford a bones brigade board. I loved my Gator board, too bad he turned out a murderer.
The Gator's were sought after in our area for sure. Such an iconic graphic from the 80s. Thanks for the comment.
Mine said Mini instead of Totally Nuts on the nose and I cant find one now Pretty sure my mom tossed mine My parents use to use it to move heavy stuff 😂
It's so sad...I think many of us share similar stories including the moving cart 😂. Thanks for the comment 👊🏼
Awesome review/deck/channel! I literally just purchased this deck too! I'm kind of partial to the White Dipped Powell Peralta Decks. I still have my Original OG Powell Peralta Tony Hawk Iron Cross Boneite XT in Dipped White with the Pink Background when I was a kid learning to skateboard! It has never been drilled for Rails or Tail or Nose Skids/Protection. It has No Name Trucks, No Name Bearings/Risers and I chose Neon Pink Griptape and Neon Green Mini Rats 95a wheels to put on it lol I love it still so much! This McGill is the closest ReIssue to my Hawk I can get so far in White. I've been waiting for Powell Peralta to ReIssue the Hawk in White! I can't afford an OG Original White Hawk let alone find a White Hawk that is NOS Perfect still wrapped in plastic! I love the Old School Reissue decks. I have a few of the PP and other brands. I spent a lot of money at the time for a "2nd -C" 7Ply Hawk Iron Cross in Black Mint NOS in Shrink wrap and I have the ReIssue Black Hawk too now to match it. My older cousin had a Kevin Staab Pirate deck which I thought was the most sickest graphic! I was lucky as I purchased a PRS Punk Rock Skateboards Kevin Staab ReIssue deck in Orange. I hope Powell Peralta will ReIssue the Hawk in White Dipped soon so I can afford a New Mint NOS deck of my original one! I subbed to your channel cheers from Canada!
Oh Canada...hope you had a fabulous July 1st Canada's Day celebration👊🏼 Thanks for the comment and for the sub...truly appreciate it. It's killer that you managed to keep your Hawk. I have no clue what happened to my decks...the only thing that I managed to get my hands on was my first set of Indy 169s (Stage 5s). I agree...the Staab Pirate deck is killer. My buddy still has his Mini Pirate which is so sick. I'm positive that you get your Reissue Hawk at some point. Thanks again for the comment. Cheers👊🏼
@@80slove OH HAPPY CANADA DAY too! Mine was chill, I gave my shift away at work lol. But, it was drab and rained all day. Yes I tried to keep my OG Hawk as best as I could. I have 3 pics of it. Maybe I can email them to you. It has a bit of razor-tail but thats it, couple dents scratches and normal kid skate wear. I even have 3 Vision Street Wear Stickers and 1 Pink Chip & Pepper Sticker on it :D I remember in skate shop going in with my friends, where my dad bought my Hawk for me.....I was always deciding between the Mike McGill Skull & Snake Bottlenose, Caballero Street Dragon or the Hawk. I chose the Hawk! I would have been happy with any of those really. Yeah the Staab deck has totally stuck with me as it was the ultimate cool graphic, other than my own Hawk Chicken Skull Iron Cross. I watched my older cousin and his friends skating his Staab in a grocery store parking lot. They were board sliding the concrete parking stall blocks and stacking each others OG Big Ramp decks on top of each other and taking turns ollie'ng them! To me that was insane with those heavy big boards! I'm hoping too soon I can buy some New NOS White Hawk ReIssue Decks! I would be soooo happy. Take care keep up the great channel/vids!
@@BRANDONLEE4444 It's so rad that you still have the hawk and the OG stickers are so sweet. If you're on FB you can find me by searching Jason Rusnak.
Do you have any Brand-x decks? Any comments or videos on them?
Unfortunately I do not...really rad decks but just not what I'm collecting.
Thanks for the background on the Gator. I'm not sure if mine is reissue. It's really scraped up.
Thanks for the comment. There's some obvious signs that your's would be OG. 1. Old School Truck Hole Patterns. 2. It would say "Mark Rogowski - Pro Model".
Here's a good example: disposabletheblog.typepad.com/disposable_random_essays_/2010/06/trip-out-the-many-spirals-of-gator-part-1.html
I wish they still made the 90-95A Street Styles... That's all I skated! The streets were rough in my town and hard wheels were terrible.
I hear you...I had 95a Crossbones and loved them. My buddy had 97a T-bones and they were hard on the feet.
I finally setup my BB15 Hawk. I just got the painting video up. Can't wait to skate it! Wish I had a McGill!
That's wicked dude...I'll check it out for sure.
Love that board!
So good...so clean.
What would you say an original black one in good condition is worth
There's some great OG pages on Facebook. Most of my stuff is Reissue so if you have fb i would join some of the pages and ask the experts. Now take their input with a grain of salt...they like to low ball sometimes especially if they're interested. If you can find something similar that has recently sold on ebay that will give you an indication of what someone is willing to pay...you have to search 'sold' items though. If someone really wants it...you could do really well.
Nice deck! Oddly enough this very same mcgill has been sitting on the rack in my local for months lol. Also a quick note about trucks with old and new bolt hole pattern, Minilogo 8.75 have them as well. 😊
We have quite a few BB S15s available here in Canada. I love the colours but they're putting out more than they ever have and it seems like S14 just dropped. Maybe every other year would be better. Thanks for the info on the Minilogos👊🏼
Great video!
Thanks...I appreciate the support👊🏼
Love these board breakdown videos!
Thanks dude...truly appreciate it. Hopefully it won't be such a big break before the next one🙄
Superb content as usual.🔥 great to get a spoon nose version of this deck. Colours are so clean too.👊🏻
Thanks dude...truly appreciate it. The white does look good on this one.
Another fun video. It’s been a minute since your last one, so… happy to see you back with another review video. 🎉 That bonus pin is cool too! I like the white dip on this one, it just seems like such a classic color combo. 🙌
Thanks Matt...things get crazy and as you know it takes some effort to research, film and edit. Appreciate the support and your kind words. I agree...the white works on this one👊🏼
Sick deck. I like the yellow stain. I was just noticing on Powell's website that that deck shape does come with different concaves. If you do a search for "Skate One Specifications", you will see a page that lists everything out. SP0, SP2, and SP3. I hadn't realized that that was the case. I want to say the latest red one is SP0. I wish they would re-issue the Barbie deck you have on the wall. I talked to someone at Skate One and it didn't sound like they will. I think they said something about how Barbie didn't want to do it since he has his own competing boards on another brand.
I just bought the BarnBolt deck from Street Plant's website, which has the same shape. I really like that shape a lot. A great mix of old school and new school.
Congrats dude...such a sick shape and you're right...amazing mix of old and new💪🏼
OJ 2's coned so fast.
Ah the memories lol. I loved my 95a Crossbones...4 wheels slides all day long and went a long time before they started to cone.
My local has many old decks
Reissue or OG?
I found and original 1987 cystalball Vission Ken park in my ceiling space...unused original....Is there ar market for vintage boards? What do you think its worth.
Nice find...there's definitely a market for OG decks. I would suggest trying to find some OG groups on FB...and if you can find a Vision one all the better. The market has softened quite a bit since the VID but people still love the OGs. Vision doesn't sell quite as well as some of the other brands due to the owner's business practices...but there's always someone looking for their first pro deck and willing to pay good money for it.
✌️🇮🇹
✌🏼🇨🇦
Literally every Powell board ever made on the wall! Awesome video and I really want one. The new green ones are like $200 on eBay!
The S15 Hawk's (Green Ones) are killer. I ended grabbing one of them as well as the TG and MM...now just to find a place for them on the wall.
How do the boards look on the wall? Would love a quick follow up video or short on how they look with the rest of your collection.
That's a fabulous question lol. I've been so swamped with work that I haven't looked at them since my last video...they're just laying on the floor. I'm gonna try to get something up this weekend. Thanks for the kick in the butt👊🏼
When you get a chance send me that Mike Mc Gill😂
The Series 12? It's so sick...I'm pretty stoked on my new S15 though as well.
That board 🔥🔥
Such a unique killer deck from an amazing time.
@@80slove Have you still got it?
@@PigCitybtn Unfortunately I don't. The person who bought it really wanted it. I'm sure I'll regret letting it go but I know it's in good hands.
You can tell the boneite 80s deck is a mini and the reissue is a full size
The OG in this video isn't the XT...it's a 7ply full size. The angle of the thumbnail throws it off though.
Makes sense what you're saying but if you remember back then, they had mini and full size decks for about all their models
@@charliebroun1 I definitely remember that. In one of my other videos I think I look at both my OG Mini and Full size Saiz 'Totem' decks.
@@80slove I am by far trying to debate people, skating in the early 80s on, details like that are engrained, different shapes, sizes, graphics, great times indeed
@@charliebroun1 Amen brother👊🏼
take that grip off
It's gonna be hard work lol. I'm thinking I will though.
The re-salers are lame af. Look at jordan shoes. That market is INSANE. Nothing special either. Just another Chinese made Nike shoe yet people go nuts because a material was dyed a different color that year. Skateboarding doesn't represent that market and that's what he means. He explains that doing what he did was basically to help get street plant up and running. It was for the greater good of things for the future of the company. People love and respect the meaning of this he understands and wants to serve it to those people but not flood it so people take advantage. Best way is to limit purchases. People with money will buy a ton of them, buy them out before others that can only afford one yet would actually appreciate it and keep it. But the other guys just buy to sell them for double the money only because they had the funds to begin with. There's a huge problem with this in the auto industry too. The Z06 corvette was a disaster IMO. It totally ruined what that car represented and made it unattainable for the original target buyers. Dealers took advantage of that also. It's a morality topic. Mike is a core guy. I understand where he's coming from
Dude...I appreciate your perspective for sure and like you said...every form of collecting has it's problems. But this market and these boards are selling to an aging group where most of us struggle to get out of bed lol. I love Mike Vs commitment to the culture but he is contributing to the collecting world just by releasing Barnyards. I know it's a struggle for him but he still drops limited run signed decks which perpetuates the resale market...the market he says he hates. I personally love collecting of any type and the resale market...I think it ads to the uniqueness of a collection. Don't get me wrong...it's frustrating to see someone buyout a shop on drop day then to resell the next day for way more but I don't see many sellers selling under retail so I guess most of the skate community is flippers...it's just a matter of whether it's the next day or a year later. Thanks for the comment dude...I truly appreciate and like getting into the more thought provoking comments. Cheers 👊🏼
Bless Lee Ralph
Such an interesting individual. I'm thinking about grabbing this deck with the OG concave: amzn.to/3QJz3Rt
Could you recommend something similar in concave and mellow tail. But that has a kicked up nose? Thanks
Dude you have me thinking. As you start to get the kick noses you typically get a little more concave. Are you committed to Hosoi decks? I know the Saiz Totem decks came with a spoon or kick option and you can find those OGs still pretty cheap compared to other OGs. You might also want to look at the Modern Concave Visions. They have a nose and the "Modern Concave" is not that aggressive. Hosoi also has a double Kick version that might be what you're looking for: selectskateshop.com/collections/hosoi-decks/products/hammerhead-double-kick
@@80sloveduuuuuuuude . Thanks. not committed to the Hosoi. Just happened to have it. I had a vision board with the modern concave and it was super steep. Hated it. I have seen the double kick Hosoi. I am afraid it may also be steep. It so hard to tell. I ordered a Nicky Guerrero that looks pretty promising. I need to set it up to see how it feels.
@@rafaelinmissouri6235 The Nicky G is a pretty rad deck. I think I do have a video on my Teal Stain one that might give you a good look at the Concave. Best of luck on the hunt and hopefully someone else will chime in with their thoughts. Thanks again for the comment 👊🏼 Cheers
@@80slove the Nicky G turned out pretty sweet. It has a bit of flex to it... The concave upfront is really nice... I wish the tail was a smidge mellower but it pretty close to the Hosoi
@@rafaelinmissouri6235 That's awesome! Stoked that it worked out. It looks like such a rad shape to skate.
I think it's kinda shitty that vision has milked this graphic for so many years, unless the money is going to his victims family.
The relationship with Vision and their skaters is pretty detached. In some cases I guess that's good and in other cases it blows for the skaters. My understanding is that the Skaters don't see a cent on any reissues so no concerns on Mark seeing any money from this graphic. It's difficult because this graphic doesn't just represent Mark...but a time that many of us fondly remember. My memories of this graphic or other Gator graphics is that of my friends skating them. When I see this graphic is more about those memories with my friends than the skater himself. The dilemma is real though.
@@80slove I wasn't concerned with Mark seeing residuals. It's just up that Vision is capitalizing off of a fucked up situation - which they clearly are since they're still selling that graphic 30 + years later.
@@RNicolasRuvalcaba I hear you. I think the argument from the other side though is...they're not capitalizing off that situation but the iconic graphic that sold millions of boards before that situation. I hope no one would be buying that deck because of what Mark did...but as I mentioned before...for the memories of skating that graphic with their crew. I'm not picking a side here...it's a hard one to navigate. I can see both sides: 1) People wanting the graphic for the memories of skating with their friends. 2) people wanting nothing to do with it.
@80slove Did that graphic exist as just a Vision board like the one you're holding?..before it became a Gator graphic...
@@Jordan-y1v Here's an article that provides some insight: disposabletheblog.typepad.com/disposable_random_essays_/2010/06/trip-out-the-many-spirals-of-gator-part-1.html
Need a tailbone like that where to get them? 😮
I grabbed this one from Amazon...they have black and white: amzn.to/44f058N
VSW iconic label! My favourite from back in the day. The Frankie Hill deck was cool, I also liked H-St too that was a few years later. I love skateboarding, the graphics the vibe everything about it. I wish I could go back and relive those times. God I wish life didn’t go so fast.
I hear you dude...this culture has fostered some fabulous memories over the years and contributed to some lasting friendships. Time has gone by way too fast.
Got one in Melbourne Aus if anyone wants to buy 😂🙏
Nice...such a killer deck.
I got the POWELL PERALTA BONES BRIGADE SERIES 15 GUERRERO 9.75" YELLOW SKATEBOARD . Why is the shape different on that one ?
Congrats on the S15...one of the best TG Reissues in my opinion. He had a few different shapes and graphics...here's a good visual of some of the Bones Brigade Series that have dropped: facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10160577931614733&set=gm.1645062426321922&idorvanity=594255341402641
Love yer videos. I live right next to rolling shop great shop cheers from montreal
Thanks dude...truly appreciate it. Rollin is rad...some truly amazing peeps.
Cheers from montreal ❤❤
Cheers...thanks for dropping a line👊🏼
What did it sell for dude? Jw
I did well with it lol. I've sold it since and used the money to buy other decks for the channel. The deals keep the channel going.
I honestly want one of those 😍
Vision Street Wear in Canada usually has deals on Vision decks: www.visionstreetwear.ca/collections/skateboard-decks
1988 Alva Chris Cook mini, Independent’s 159 stage one, 64mm Sims wheels.
The Alva's were so rad. The sunburst paint jobs were killer and such a Mötley Crüe of skaters.
Bro build a Time Machine so we can all go back to the 80s together. I would go in a heartbeat
I hear you dude...some fond memories for sure.
I’m thinking about building one of these to skate! I started skating again at 40 20 years off and I fell in love with it again. Started with a popsicle girl went to a heroin eggplant shape and then found the reissue of ripper got that and never looked back. Built a nikky Guerrero mask which is my favorite with 169s and just built a Santa Cruz cave in with 215s so I have the 215s in case I want to go bigger I will never skate a popsicle again. These things are so rad to skate and make you want to do different tricks and just get that 80s Flo going. The skaters from the 80s had this style about there skating you only see in the old timer skaters and I love it. Everything was so clean and calculated . There airs were a spectacle to behold! So glad I found skating again man teaching my 19 year old son. Never skated 2 months he already can drop in and pump mini ramp and ride out of a quarter pipe. So rad skating with your son man. It a feeling I can’t describe. I’m in heaven when me and him are out there shredding the pool together doing duos awesome feeling. Can’t wait until I get my grinds back in the deep end so we can do a clip together of me grinding the corner and him going under. Hell yea keep shredding guys skate or Die! Reissue decks are the way to go. Love your channel man just found it I subbed
I love it...thanks for sharing your skate journey. I was pulled back into skating when my Son wanted to buy a longboard...I started looking online and came across reissues. Found him a wicked Lucero 12 XU and never looked back. I bought a reissue of my first pro deck...a Dogtown Aaron Murray (2017) and have grabbed a few more decks since then lol. Thanks for commenting👊🏼
Hey man, I’m a kid and don’t have much money to buy an old school. Can you tell me the price for the cheapest Powell peralta board?
Are you looking for old school shapes? They all run around the same price point unless you're getting the Bones Brigade Series decks then they're a little more.
@@80slove yeah I’m just looking for an original one school shape 👍🏼
Ani original shape
@@razorsharkfin1 In Canada the PP old school shapes run between $110 to $140 unless you can find them on sale. The Bones Brigade Series push $200 this time around.
@@80slove ok tysm! I will save up for the 110$
It was my first skateboard with slime all wheels and I dependant trucks . I rode the truck out of it and used as my only means to get , I had no bike. It vanished one day without a trace so I lost a big piece of my youth but decided to bring it back once I saw all over eBay. I’ve since became conditioned to any and most newer decks so was curious how it would feel taking it back to what I got my start with. Still the best board abouve all . I love it.
Sounds like you had a killer setup. That's truly what I love about the reissues...the opportunity to relive our youth. Thanks for the comment👊🏼
Are people keeping the edition sticker on? (When setting up) or peeling them.
I've heard of people leaving them on and just using clear grip. I've also seen one guy create a little plastic protector/display case for it.
I used to 360 flip on that boat.
That's impressive...this is a pig lol.
I woke up Christmas morning 87or 88 to that same color per welinder street indy trucks tracker ollie 95 wheels and fly paper grip tape My all time favorite board unfortunately got stolen want to eventually own one again
Sounds like a killer setup. Sorry to hear that it got swiped. That's the best thing about reissues...provides the opportunity to recreate this amazing memories.
I have one really similar without the rails that’s really old if ur in Ontario or nearby you can check it out I have photos
Nice...I'm in Owen Sound area. Do you have it posted on Marketplace?
