“As the legendary Stevie Shredwards once slurred after a late-night curb session, ‘You don’t stop stacking decks because you’re broke. You’re broke because you never stop stacking decks!’ Dive into this glorious heap of vintage wood—time-warped relics from when the world spun slower, and grinds hit harder.”
“From Vision’s dark lab comes Groholski’s Frankenstein, stitched in 1990 and still howling under the moonlight. Grab your bolts, Igor—it’s time to ride the monster! The undead never looked this rad—80s neon madness! Are your eyes ready?!”

“The Santa Monica Airlines Natas Panther Deck was released in 1988 as Natas Kaupas’s pro model. The striking panther artwork was created by Jim Phillips, one of skateboarding’s most influential graphic artists. This deck is considered a landmark in skateboard history, representing the rise of street skating in the late 1980s”

“The original Salba deck by Santa Cruz dropped around 1988, branded with the mystical fury of Steve Alba—a pool-ripping, full-blooded Badlands warrior, born where the sun bakes the concrete, the ditches stretch forever, and the skating’s fast, loud, and merciless. Salba was—and still is—the kind of skater who treats empty swimming pools like spiritual temples, where grinds are gospel and coping is sacred.
Pick up a Salba deck and you’re not just holding wood—you’re gripping a time machine with flames painted on the side. This thing isn’t built for mild-mannered manuals or polite nose slides—it’s made for ritual destruction. Pool coping? Obliterated. Backyard bowl? Reduced to ashes. With Steve Alba’s name stamped on it, you’re wielding the essence of ‘80s vert sorcery—raw, loud, and loud again. Ride it, hang it, worship it—but beware: once summoned, the Salba spirit doesn’t chill. It howls.”

“Straight outta the jungle and into the concrete wilderness—Lee Ralph’s Tiki deck is a raw, mysterious relic from 1990, drenched in tribal psychedelia and Kiwi punk spirit. Vision threw all their paint at the wall, and this one stuck.
Lee wasn’t your average vert god—he was the barefoot, bone-crunching, chaos-loving enigma from New Zealand, blending soul surfing and full-pipe savagery with zero filter.
But guess what? The myth is alive again.
A brand new documentary on YouTube diving deep into the legend of Lee Ralph. Go watch it and see why this deck isn’t just a collector’s piece—it’s a portal into one of skateboarding’s most mysterious and magnetic souls.”

“Lance Mountain—the people’s champ, the king of fun, the guy who made sketchy look stylish. His Future Primitive deck is pure skateboarding history, a time capsule from when sessions were raw, ramps were homemade, and style mattered more than sponsors. That caveman graphic? A perfect fit—because Lance didn’t just ride the wave of ‘80s skating, he defined it. Whether he was blasting backyard airs or goofing off in The Search for Animal Chin, he made every kid believe they could be part of the Bones Brigade. This deck isn’t just wood and paint—it’s a piece of skateboarding’s soul. “

“In 1987, amidst the geopolitical tensions of the Cold War, Skull Skates released the Soviet Biker team deck—a provocative fusion of skate culture and political commentary, foreshadowing the bold, propaganda-style aesthetic that would later define Shepard Fairey, aka Obey Giant ? This deck featured a striking design: a Soviet-era motorcyclist emblazoned against a bold black and red backdrop, symbolizing a rebellious crossover between Eastern Bloc imagery and Western skateboarding ethos. “

“This little piggy didn’t go to market—it went straight to the curb for endless spins, buttery manuals, and nose-pick wizardry,… not. Light, nimble, and ready to boogie, the Pigstick brings freestyle fun back from the golden age.”

“Built for mayhem and made to survive it, this deck is as raw and untamed as the Master of Disaster himself. It’s not just a deck—it’s a war anthem on wheels and one of skateboarding’s rawest icons”

“The Vision Street Wear Psycho Stick deck—a psychedelic explosion of color and chaos straight out of 1986! With a graphic that give a nod to the Listen Like Thieves INXS album cover, this deck is an icon of its era.”
This bad boy screams ’80s skate culture in technicolor glory!

“The Vision Street Wear Leopard deck—screaming like a punk rock riff in a runaway van, wild and untamed!”
Clearly a rip-off of the Alva Leopard deck. Vision went on to produce a Zebra and Reptile version as well.
