Easy to build, portable, and fun to launch off of. Unfortunately, decks were snapping left and right. Powell-Peralta deck returns were so high that the company sought ways to make decks stronger and more resistant to jump breaks. One solution was Bonite construction. Another was the \"Gee-Gaw\" shape, which had bumps to reinforce the break zone area. Why \"Gee-Gaw?\" Ask Chris Iverson. This shape was also uséd for the Skull \u0026amp; Sword graphic. They were originally produced between 1987 and 1988.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e About the Ripper Artwork: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eArguably the most iconic skateboard graphic of all time, \"The Ripper\" was illustrated in 1983 by legendary Powell-Peralta artist V.C. Johnson. Originally, the graphic was uséd as a \"Bones Sold Here\" dealer window sticker. Next, the artwork found its way onto T-shirts and eventually decks. The Ripper graphic has stood the test of time and has been a staple of the Powell-Peralta line for over 30 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOriginally Released: 1983\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eArtwork by: Vernon Courtlandt Johnson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e Long 4 - 2.5\" old-school truck hole pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMade with our partner in Mexico.
