Notes from the Brigade

I'm active duty military currently deployed. I've been serving over 19 years. As a kid I had a Mike McGill board that I rode everyday. As I got older, I stopped skateboarding for about 15 years. I was stoked when the old boards came back and I bought the Ripper deck with Rat Bone wheels and Indy trucks...its awesome...just like Powell/Peralta boards were back in the 80s. Thanks for bringing them back...BONES BRIGADE!!!

— Steven Inman

Powell-Peralta has been one of the first companies I've heard of growing up and I've been a fan of the team for a while.

I cant wait for your summer decks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Powell Peralta And Other Bones Brigade Members:I Might Be The Youngest Old Schooler Here Ive Been Riding A "Caballero Full Chinese Dragon" Re Issue For Half A Year.Ever Since I Saw Powell Peralta:Search For Animal Chin Ive Learned How To Powerslide The Streets Hills And Railslide.I Could Never Kickflip I Always Thought New School Skateboards Were Horrible And The Skate Videos Had No Style.
Thanks,Powell Peralta For Your Thrashin Decks And Wheels,And Thanks To My Cousin Bernard For Getting Me Into Old School

— Marc “Eazy” Escandor

When I saw a McGill re-issue deck four years ago I started feeling something very difficult to describe. Memories popped instantly in my mind, old friends, the freedom and adrenaline you can only feel while riding a deck, in summary skating ..... Since then I couldn´t stop checking which is going to be the next "re-issue". So far I´ve got 8 decks (half of them complete), but I´m still waiting for a Hawk, a Guerrero, a late 80´s McGill or a late 80´s Mountain. I had stopped skating profesionally 17 years ago, but now it´s the time of my children. Thank you Powell for keeping this memories alive and give me the chance to show and share with my kids the best skateboards that have ever existed !!!!!

— Javier Fernandez

Best skateboards ever. Bring back the Hawk boards, especially the '89 Birdclaw deck. Awesome to see This happening. Such a huge part of my youth!

— Heath Coontz

Hey guys I just wanted to say I am 22 years old and I own almost all of your movies (some on VHS!!). I love watching the old stuff and I love that you guys have the new boards on here. My favorite scenes from all your movies has to be the end of Animal Chin when you gave Tony Hawk a lot of time on the video, that was awesome, I am not even a big Tony Hawk fan now but back in the 80s we all know he was good (not as good as Jeff Phillips though hate to admit). I will be building a couple of your decks here soon for me and a new addition to my crew, I normally skate Flip but these are off the wall decks you guys have on here. Thumbs up to Cab on his design and keep up the good work everyone. And Mike V nice demo shoot good to see you back in the demos.

Dudes!! I'm lovin' the re-issues! Im going to get the cab street for sure. Im 28 now but when I was real little like 5-6 years old I skated my buddies 5 ft half pipe and tore it up.. really was pretty good for how little I was. Later on mid 90's started street skating and did until I was 19-20 when I had to get a job. But I just got a board agian, but shit hurts nowadays. So I'm getting into more bowls and half pipes again. So I want to go old School again. But the board I had when I was little was the 87' Tony Hawk and I haven't been able to find a re-issue of it? So PLEASE re-issue it!!! Sickest board ever!!! I got side tracked for a bit, but now I'm in search of chin again!

— Billy “Billy”

Put Mike V on Bones Wheels and theeve...it would be the coolest thing ever.

— Travis

Dear Powell Peralta,

I am proud to say that you guys make the best boards I have ever skated. Im sure you recieve that alot but I do not think there are boards anywere as original and comfortable skatewise as yours. If every company made a board like yours, im sure that I would be a way better skilled boarder then I am now. Thank for the good times i now experiance every time I mob a hill, drop in to a pool and even when i hit the little rock on the sidewalk. Its all due to you guys!!!

— Jesse “Jess” Brown, Jay Zen Skate

Man, this takes me back!

I want a reissue of the Lance Mountain future primitive deck! I always wanted that thing, could never find it in the 80's.

Keep rollin'!

— Ryan

Hey hey from South Africa, so awesome to see Powell Peralta back together. I've had a few P&P decks, but especially the Steve Cab range. I gotta say something to Steve, "Dude, you absolutely rock! I'm pumping 32 years old now and you still inspire me with the fact that you are still skating man! And on top of that, I see you're a fellow believer." I'll def be looking out for some P&P products in my local surf skate store down here, keep up the awesome work guys, I'm so encouraged with all this nostalgia!!!

— Sergio Batista

Bring back the RAT BONE jacket from 1984 PLEASE!!!!!!!

— Chad

Love your stuff... the quality of the decks is better than anyone else. I'm 34 years old and am so happy you continue to do re-issues. It would be cool to see a Future Primitive deck that's 10" wide and also some 80a RatBones or Mini-Cubics.

— mark

Beemer! Beemer! Beemer! c'mon, bring it back!

— Jonathan

Love to see the classic multi logo shirts come back out....Not to mention the Tony Hawk and Rodney Mullin decks...Im still searching for Animal Chin!

— Rhett “-Sein” Adams, 3rd Branch/ Uplift

I am a huge fan of your company. I got a mirco ripper, put some Pig Super Cruiser wheels on it and I skate it everyday to class. It can be a little sketch since its so short but I love it.

— Alex “Moo” Chambers, student

U guys are the best....thanks for all those thrashin decks...will skate or die

— albert “skate punk”

I bought the Hot Rod Flames deck in January 2011. I love this board. my profile is Deck, Indy 169's, mini logo grip, mini logo bearings, 1.5" hardware, orange rails,
white Bomber wheels 68mm 88a and .5" raisers.
it maybe be a tank to some, but, it's quiet and smooth. just the way i like it.
been riding Powell Products since i was 15y/o and will never stop.
Keep up the good work.
