Santa Barbara local Frankie Hill was known for his "go for it" attitude, especially when filming videos. He was featured in Public Domain, but Ban This features his breakout part, one minute and 38 seconds of what many today consider proof of Hill's pioneering stunt work at big rails and huge gaps. After Ban This, Hill received bags of fan mail asking when he's going to turn pro.
The timing was good, too, as a spot opened up with Mike Vallely's departure. Hill started riding Vallely's shape, modified with a bigger nose, and on a vacation with Hastings, he poached a bulldog logo from an Amsterdam coffee shop and made it his first pro graphic.
It was illustrated by Sean Cliver in 1990.

- Improved my skating! Review by Trine Cannermo
This deck is perfect in so many ways! I've been searching for the best shape, length and concave for me, and this board is all that! I improved instantly shredding the pools, as its so maneuverable and gives a great feeling of safety too. (Posted on 10/2/2017)Rating - A classic Review by Jez
I remember saving up for this board. I was a huge Frankie Hill fan so getting this again is amazing. Just a shame it wasn't pressed with the original concave. (Posted on 8/20/2017)Rating - Great deck Review by David Gurr
This was the first ever Powell Peralta deck I had when I was a young skater. I think I was about 14 when I got it and I'm 41 now!Rating
It has taken prime real-estate in my "man cave" next to my reissue Tony Hawk.
I loved this deck as a kid and I still love it now. Every time I'm having a beer I look at it up on the wall and just smile, I love the shape, the size and how big the nose is. If only I was as light and agile as I was back then I would be on that bad boy and kick flipping my way down the driveway showing my young boys how we do it old school style.
Anyway this is a great deck, I recommend getting one to anybody, especially if you had one as a kid like did. (Posted on 7/19/2017)
