8.5″ Mini Logo Masterpiece

Mike McGill was perfecting the 540 McTwist in the summer of 1984 at Swedish summer camp, V.C.J. was working on a new deck graphic for him. Since the “Skull & Bones” theme was proving to be popular, that was the direction chosen for McGill’s new deck. Mike’s input was to add the snake and lightning bolts since there is an abundance of both in his home state of Florida. McGill’s Skull & Snake is truly a classic skateboard icon.

We wanted to try something different. A lot of us were bored with the popsicle shapes, and if you don’t skate switch- why ride one? We just wanted to try a fun shape with the sizing and functionality of present day skateboarding.

We make skate products with all ages of skateboarders in mind. When the first Funshapes were sampled, we had a 14.25″ wheelbase on it. A few of our older skaters loved these new shapes, but asked about having a larger wheelbase. So we decided to have the double truck holes to stoke everyone out. All the Funshapes come with a 14.25″ and 15″ wheelbase.
