Powell Peralta Mike McGill Skull & Snake Skateboard Decks

In the summer of 1984, as Mike McGill was perfecting the 540 McTwist at a Swedish summer camp, V.C.J. was working on a new deck graphic for him. Since the "Skull & Bones" theme had proven to be popular, that direction was chosen for McGill's new deck. Mike's input was to add the snake and lightning bolts, as there is an abundance of both in his home state of Florida. The result is the iconic McGill's Skull & Snake skateboard.
