1990 - Sk8 TV - Powell Peralta Skate Decks

1990 Nickelodeon Sk8 TV segment with a small tour of the Powell Peralta factory and how they cut and screen printed their boards.

[@Jimberlin]

The shirt is a Powell shirt, not a Supreme brand shirt. This video was filmed prior to Supreme becoming a brand, which happened in 1994

[@srarcade]

Makes you wonder if they stole it or theres a distant connection 🤔

[@ElSchnellder69]

Both or my decks i ride are Powell Peraltas and both are mike v elephants and one of them is a re-issue of the 1988 deck is purple, blue, pink, green and grey and the other one is red, gold, blackish and grey :) both are elephants so its sweet!

Thank you for sharing this - much appreciated. I remember seeing this back in the day on Sk8 TV. The manufacturing process here uses a bunch of the same machines ( types ) and processes as making guitars - pretty cool.

Anyone else digging how hands-off OSHA must have been about the duder working with his shirt off?

[@Turbo_Zombie83]

t.j. roe hahahahahaha!!!!!!

[@galvanizedgnome]

I'd think it's safer without a shirt. Lot of spinning equipment

[@garrieleepeck8753]

Wish they bring back cross bones wheels

This had to be filmed in like 1988 and just shown in 1990 cause.there was already double kick boards and non of those are double kick. They are pretty 80s still.

[@Tommyblueeyes]

@a w Yeah but the nose is shorter..I had a 1988 Steadham with a crazy upturned nose and a 1989 Jeff Hartsel which had a 5 inch upturned nose

[@ss.fx3626]

@Ron Wright its a still double kick board just a shaped board from the reasearch i done from the 80s to early 92 boards still had the sqaure tail and pointy noise and even when the early popsicle shapes came out aka the football shaped boards they were still huge

[@ToneVelvet]

[@ShutUpBubi]

This predates Supremes existence lol

[@AHumanClay]

Awesome!

[@tvnist]

A job with sense

[@srarcade]

@AvantTrash Yea man, i always thought that was a little bit strange!

[@DUNEATV]

Why do they have their shirts off? It's wired since they know a film crew is coming thru...

[@freshskateboards3786]

Welcome to a world of Osha Violations.

[@JamieBaird67]

I'm pretty sure this is all done in China now and I'm sure the working conditions make this look like Disney Land.

[@pleaseenteraname.5857]

Powell Peralta still makes their skateboards in SoCal.

[@JamieBaird67]

The mini logo ones are made in China. I bought one and it says made in China. They do still make some here in California.

[@troudecul69]

Powell Peralta stillmakes their board in the US and sells it the same price as Santa Cruz who makes their Deck in china. What the fuck. Props to Stacy.

[@yeaitsmemikec.2018]
