The things I most wanted to see were the Hawk Claw in yet another colorway (first choice purple, second blue) and the McGill Stinger in the mini shape (which may be a longer shot than I think). Those are the two decks I lusted after in my early, pre-new school days when there were older guys in town who had old PP and Santa Cruz decks.
The Humu was a street deck(that’s what the insert said), and I would’ve loved to have seen a street Hawk, and other dedicated street decks. It would be nice if they did a few more runs of fan favourites where we(the public) vote on what we want. There are the Cresties out there, and Per freestyle devotees etc
If this is the end that's fine. It would be nice if brigade member decks were not released in sets and at lower price points. Maybe a crest could be released on it's own like vallely. I also wouldn't be surprised if we don't see anymore hawks though, outside of special editions or anniversary type things.
If they do a final series all in Flight Deck or maybe bring them back later in that form when it becomes less expensive over time that would be rad imo.
Maybe they'll do it in rainbow and target the tight pants hipsters sipping frappe cuppochinos at Starbucks. Just call it a "longboard" and they'll be all over it.
I don’t hang around at coffee shops, I just buy the occasional long black when my eyes are hanging out of my head in the early am’s, and I don’t mix with hipsters, so I guess I couldn’t relate to the joke Macca!

Macca, grunge died 93-94’, then Britpop/shoegaze was the thing, then Numetal late 90’s!
