This innovative, competition changing vertical trick coincided with the time VCJ was tasked with developing a new pro-model board graphic for McGill. \u003cbr\u003eWith the popularity of the Powell-Peralta \"Skull and Bones\" theme, it was decided to use a similar concept for McGill's new deck. In a phone interview conducted by VCJ and a teenage Mike, noting that his home state of Florida \"had a lot of rattle snakes that were green\" and frequent thunderstorms, requested that a snake and lightning bolts be incorporated into the skull graphic.  \u003cbr\u003eMcGill's 1984 Skull and Snake graphic, now an iconic Powell Peralta pro-board design of the 1980's skate aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Powell Peralta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55581258875185,"sku":"842357146532","price":27.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6419\/1025\/files\/1024-x-1024---POWELL-PERALTA-X-MCGILL---SKULL---SNAKE-GRIPTAPE--9--X-33----1.jpg?v=1785748990","url":"https:\/\/vidlers.com.au\/products\/powell-peralta-mcgill-skull-snake-griptape-9-x-33","provider":"Cottesloe Surf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
