    I don't know about boring, but definitely different! It's like comparing Warhol to Rembrandt Kyle

    Pigs were like the popsicles of the 70's. Who came out with the original shaped board as a variant to the pig?

    Good question.

    Really like that Skull and Sword Bill, not the black light but the one that is enlarged.

    yea that was actually my first powell board and i still got it to this day it came out around 96 it was called the super skull and sword for obvious reasons after i got that board i pretty much decided that would be my icon since it was my favorite graphic and now u know why i associate myself with that graphic so much #historylesson

    @WakeInFright - According to this picture at least, it looks like the Future Primitive Lance Mountain was the first time Powell Peralta made what we are referring to as a "shaped" board.  After the pigs.  Someone else may have done it earlier, though.  Man, I'd like to have one of those Claus Grabke pigs as a reissue to ride...

    @JB77 I need a bunch of those, but especially that Yellow Team Street Ripper! 6th row from top, Center. Droolin! My Brother had that deck back in the day and I need it again.

    Just got a new setup today-- 1986 Vision Don Brown with Indys and Bones V-VI Freestyle wheels-- pretty psyched.  I just saw it and said, that looks cool, realized it was my birthday coming up, and got my girlfriend to get it for me.  Now that it's here I have no idea what to do with it.  I've never skated freestyle, and I may be too old to learn.  It's no good for rolling anywhere-- tiny with and rock-hard, tiny wheels.  What do you think I should do, display it or start hacking away at a whole new style?

    Your girlfriend should get one too. Then you can move to San Diego and start doing shows at SeaWorld :)

    That's funny, but did you see that documentary about the killer whales at SeaWorld?  I forget what it's called, Black something?  One of them killed a homeless guy who got in its tank, put the guy on its back, and mimiced being ridden by his corpse in circles till the staff arrived the next morning.  I'm staying the hell away from those things.

    That picture above is missing a few decks. Pink mountain family for one...on the above question on who had the first shaped board if you believe Hosoi he was one of the first to shape his boards. This Mullen interview is a pretty interesting read though

    ...and this one - more on the resurgence of different shapes but there's a pic about half way down that has some early shapes
