Powell Peralta Bones Brigade 17th Series Tony Hawk Black Tee

The Powell Peralta Bones Brigade 17th Series has arrived with hottest tees ever!

The Bones Brigade, aka the superhero team of skateboarding, featuring the legends themselves – Lance Mountain, Mike McGill, Tommy Guerrero, Steve Caballero, Tony Hawk, and Rodney Mullen – are back. Well, sort of. Their spirit is captured in 6 rad decks that are so iconic, even your grandma might ask for a kickflip tutorial.

Series 17 has a pearl white graphic, with foil* highlights. This isn’t just a reissue. It’s a time machine carved in seven plies of North American maple. Each board in the Series 17 collection channels raw energy straight from the streets, ramps and halfpipes of the ‘80s, when skateboarding wasn’t polished – it was punk!

Tony Hawk was age 9 when his older brother gave him a blue fibreglass skateboard, chipped and scratched from years of use. The first time Tony stepped on it and rolled down an alley behind the family’s house in San Diego, there was no epiphany, no revelation … no foreshadowing whatsoever that he would go on to become the most famous skateboarder of all time. He reached the end driveway, looked back at his brother and shouted, “How do I turn?”

Eventually, of course, Tony learned to do more than merely turn. Practicing at the now-defunct Oasis Skatepark, the undersized prodigy soon began to attract attention by performing maneuvers well beyond his years. At age 12 he was winning amateur contests throughout California, at 14 he turned pro, and at 16 he was widely regarded as the best competitive skateboarder in the world. By the time he was 25, he’d competed in 103 pro contests, winning 73 of them and placing second in 19—a record that will almost certainly never be matched. He was crowned vertical skating’s world champion 12 years in a row.

Tony also became the first skateboarder to ever land a 900!

Tony has won numerous awards, including Make-A-Wish’s Favorite Male Athlete, Teen Choice Awards’ Choice Male Athlete and Nickelodeon’s Kid’s Choice Awards’ Favorite Male Athlete, beating out such sports icons as Shaquille O’Neal, Tiger Woods, and Kobe Bryant. From video games to skateboards to online media to clothing to world tours, Tony has dominated the Action Sports market with his laid-back style. He is the most recognized Action Sports figure in the world and, according to some marketing surveys, one of the most recognizable athlete of any kind in the United States.
