About The Nordic Skull artwork:
The Per Welinder Viking Skull was illustrated by V.C. Johnson in 1984. The fanged fantasy graphic was meant to reflect Per's Swedish origins. It was initially assigned to his freestyle model without the rock texture background, which was added in an updated version in 1986. In 1987 the new full-length graphic was adapted for a street model as Per began performing freestyle / street demos. The eighth century Runic stone lettering spells out Per's name as well as the background quote, "Search and strive, push beyond with strength, yours not theirs, that is the key." Something Per came up with. The graphic was also used for T-shirts and stickers.

I've always loved the Welinder graphic (Posted on 8/4/2021)Rating - One of the Pioneers of Street Skating Review by Animal Chin
"Whatever happened to Per Welinder is anybody's guess. The mild-mannered freestyler from Sweden turned into an aggresively savage streetstyle animal, blending his 'little board' savvy with the terrain of the mean steets. What with kickflips, helicopters off the ramp and a wild assortment of other tricks, you'd think he just came out of the jungle." -Thrasher Magazine, January 1987Rating
This deck is skateboarding history. Also, it was a great value for the deck (mine came with grip & a sticker + shipping)! (Posted on 7/29/2021)- Amazing Deck Review by Charles
