Created in 1978 by Vernon Courtland Johnson (VCJ) for Powell Peralta Skateboards,this truly iconic Ripper graphic has inspired many skaters & artists alike. Initially used for a Bones T-shirt design,it became so popular that it was eventually used on a number of decks, T-shirts, catalogs, stickers, Bones Brigade Video introductions, Powell-Peralta shipping boxes, and even Powell-Peralta pant labels. This deck is just the ticket for both shredding your local skatepark or cruising the streets on a warm summers day.
