The board that served as a model for this artwork is no longer quite this pristine, but I feel I immortalized it just before it got thrashed (as it was meant to be). The Rip Stik is one of the most recognizable and ubiquitous graphics of the time and place, so I took a photo of my current cruiser and went to work on it in my signature fashion.
When Brand-X was relaunched a couple years back, no one was more stoked than I, so when the reissues kept coming, I knew I had to capture some of my stoke in an art print. I am a print artist, mostly known for renderings of bygone punk and indie clubs of my wayward youth. From these roots, the culture I proudly still call my own was formed and Kryptonics, Brand-X and Toxic were all a big part of it all! To watch them kill the terrain at the Ocean Bowl pushed me to become a better skater myself. I got my first Brand-X board in 1984… it was my first brand-new deck ever!

RipStik wheels are 76mm in diameter and are made of polyurethane. The rear wheel always wears faster than the front, as the majority of forward propulsion is rendered by the sideways motion of the rear caster. Wheels generally wear after a 2-3 month period depending on the terrain in which the board is used and the skill of the rider.
