An east coast skateboarding wonder at a young age—there’s a story out there that Bucky started skateboarding after his bicycle was stolen, sure, but really there was a shop owner in Baltimore named Andy who liked Bucky, flowed him product, and generally made skateboarding affordable for him. He entered amateur contests and did well. His profile rose to a point where in 1989 Tony Hawk sent him a game changing invite to visit him in SoCal.
The 1990 release of what has become known as Bucky’s STADIUM model was one of the graphics designed entirely by Sean Cliver during his three years at Powell Peralta. The back-story behind the unusual baseball-themed graphic has little to do with Bucky’s interest in, or his ability to actually play baseball.
Not only was Bucky known for being a nice, likable guy, Sean also knew he was from Baltimore. At the time the Baltimore Orioles had gone through a resurgence because their new stadium (Camden Yards) was being constructed while Cal Ripken, Jr., was surging in his effort to play more baseball games consecutively (2632 eventually) than any human thought possible. Sean saw this as an opportunity for Bucky Lasek, the nice guy that people liked, to have a board graphic with lots of those people he liked on his board. BOOM!

Powell-Peralta™ Re-Issue Construction
Powell-Peralta re-issue decks are close reproductions of their 1980’s counterparts, featuring the original Pro graphics and shape, top graphic logo and spoon nose concave. They are manufactured by our partners in Mexico or in our Ventura skateboard factory, which is still directed by a few of the same craftsmen that made them originally.

Outstanding (Posted on 8/24/2020)Rating - Outstanding reissue Review by Luigi
This was the first pro deck i rode back in 1991. A friend of mine who introduced me to skateboarding sold this used deck to me. I could barely see the graphic on the bottom but i clearly remember the winged Bucky on top. Really great memories of popping first ollies down gaps in my backyard or sliding curbs in the street. Seeing the specifications nowadays it seems a great all terrain deck may be it will be more difficoult to pop up high ollies at 42 but a definetely must have for all the guys of my generation. Great job friends at Powell Peralta. Luigi -Italy- (Posted on 8/23/2020)Rating - Bucky Lasek Statium Review by Fabian
