Skull Skates "Glasnost Reissue" - 10" x 30" [17" wheelbase]. First released in 1985. "Cutaway shape was created by R.D., one of the original founders of Skull Skates. I remember he was stoked to promote unity between the two nuclear nations [USA and Russia] during the Eighties Cold War Era. The main artwork was lifted from a 1930’s Soviet woodblock print featuring a motorcycle with a sidecar intended to advance Russian moral towards industrial superiority. The word “glasnost” apparently meant “a new openness” which was being touted by the Soviet government in the Eighties, as they were seeing an end to the Cold War on the horizon." - PD. Original spec - top and bottom graphics, full black dip, square rails, 7/16" laminates. Classic functional quality shape featuring the O.G. V-concave. Contemporary hole pattern. Product of Canada.
