Powell Peralta Mini Cab Dragon Gold Complete

After placing 3rd overall in the Gold Cup Series and voted “Rookie of the Year” in 1980, Steve Caballero had proven he was ready for a pro signature model of his own. He was initially offered a simple propeller/skull nose-art graphic but rejected it. Steve submitted some sketches of his own for consideration, one of which was a crouching dragon, and that’s the direction they pursued. Artist VCJ reworked the design a couple times before laying down the final ink. The deck was first released in December 1980 and the graphic was so well received it wasn’t replaced until 1986.
