I wish the McGill colors were more in the 1980's vibe but Ill take what I can get. Gotta love it!!! (2500 of each deck being released) http://bonesbrigade.com/blog/5th_Series_Decks
Awesome colorways, now how in the world am I going to afford two of each.. I'll figure out out that's for sure. And available Halloween... That's in three weeks.....
BTW something tells me this is just the first of the color ways for these decks, plus we have another color way of the Welinder coming.
I would love to have a few more colors ways of these decks released. Definitely the neon green Cab dragons and bats street board and red hawk bottlenose I had in the late 80's.
Cab looks like it has new school holes, the rest are old Lance & McGill are doing it for me, shame the McGill isnt a bottlenose, awesome that they chose the 1.5 graf for the Lance tho. /cliche time In the end, I like them all. well done PP
Funny, this is the exact opposite line up for me. In the first runs the lmfp was the chin era, shape and graphic where the others were earlier models, this run is the opposite. I'm just stoked for everybody who has been wanting those other shapes and graphics.
I wonder, is the lmfp concave like the xt and on ones were? I'd be in on one for riding as I'm not really up for that graphic. ... but if it's more concave than the first runs, it would make a great rider.
Phenomenal. The Hawk and McGill are both instabuys for me. Each of those are my favorite versions and colors. Amazing!
I dig the others, but would have really loved the Lance Crest model. This one is cool, but not enough of a departure from the classic, more iconic FP for me.
My best friend had that Cab in silver. Here's hoping that color comes along at some point. I personally would buy it in that black dip with the bright green dragon and purple bats in a heartbeat.
I also hope the Hawk and McGill get released in the classic bright blue colorways with the red winged Ripper on top (if these aren't all going to have the gold or silver logos on top like the previous BB reissues)
Please release the Hawk in the classic pink colorway too!!!
Regarding possible new colorways, I would love the Hawk in the neon green, but with the cross in blue. Basically take the pink colorway and replace the pink with the neon green. I always thought that would have looked way better than the red they originally used.
Doc has the real question .. Pre orders.. Though I must say the two welinders I ordered from socal were shipped before I had the option to preorder for SOC
With no wheel wells these decks should only cost $95. LOL! I'll stick with Select Distributions multiple colorways, flat, or modern concave , wheel wells when needed, made in the USA and for only $59.
I'm glad Powell finally did this, but I'm not paying the high prices.
I know they need permission to keep making Tony, Rodney and Tommys decks so it is understandable if these are the last for those guys. But their is no reason the new shapes for Cab and McGill can't replace the old reissues for these two that they have been pumping out for years. If they have any sense and are observing how well the other companies are doing with reissues the snakeskin and full size Cab dragon and bats will stay in the rotation with multiple colour ways.
