Powell-Peralta x Lance Mountain "Future Primitive" Artwork;
Lance Mountain was recruited into the Powell Peralta Bones Brigade team in 1982. While his initial deal did not include a dedicated pro-model, his standout performance in the 1984 video "The Bones Brigade Video Show", generated demand that lead to a pro-board being developed.
Lance was initially offered a bone-based concept, in line with established Bones Brigade skull and fantasy themes. A voodoo knee-bone and then an exploding head graphic failed to interest Lance. At the time, Powell Peralta artist Vernon Courtlandt Johnson (VCJ) was working on a cave painting concept for the second Bones Brigade video "Future Primitive", the sketches interested Lance. The character sketches were further developed for Lance's pro-board which was released by Powell Peralta in 1985, coinciding with the release of the Bones Brigade "Future Primitive" skate video.
The graphic depicting a caveman (the "primitive" aspect) skateboarding on a crude wooden plank with stone wheels, symbolizing the timeless, organic roots of the skating. It was the first Bones Brigade pro-graphic to depart from Powell Peralta's established power skull graphics.
The 1985 Future Primitive video is widely celebrated as a milestone in skate history, further popularising street and vert skating. It featuring backyard ramp sessions with legends like Tony Hawk, Steve Caballero, and Lance Mountain himself.
Another iconic Powell Peralta design, defining the 1980's skate aesthetic.
