Ugliest HAWK ever????


My brother scored a Powell Peralta Tony Hawk 7P "Poker Chip" deck at a yard sale for a buck! I have heard this to be called the Ugliest Hawk ever. We were guessing the age of the deck. My Mom pointed out that under the front truck is stamped 2004. Now I know this deck came out in the 90's. Right? But did they ever do a re-issue? I think the 2004 is some kind of serial number. The deck is still ride-able but what a TANK! One might ask what brand of purple plastic adorns the biggest, ugliest Hawk ever... any guesses?

Tell him I'll give him $10 for it, plus an additional $10 for shipping.

Thanks for the offer Nikoli. Glad you like the Hawk. Whats the story? Have you owned this model in the past? :) I don't know if this thing will be for sale or not. For now we are having fun with the memory lane factor. I had plans to put it on the wall with the collection... (If I ever get around to putting the collection on the wall) ;) Do you have a collection? I might be more apt to trade. At the very least you should post some pics of your collection so we can all get stoked! :)

I did not own that particular one. I had the matching shirt though. I'd bet I was skating an Underhill at that time. But I am indeed a major FanBoy of the man.

I do not have a collection of "displays." I have a collection of my old decks I've skated. And I have plans to sand them and do art on them, to eventually hang, in the 'rec room' (whenever that may be).

$20 final offer. (That's 1900% return on his investment! COME ON!) Seriously, check eBay... perhaps he can help you pay a bit fer dem teeth, or at least a fresh layer for the ramp.

Cool. Could be Santa Cruz rails.
I have never seen anyone cut a rail in half to make graphics visible, Very funy. Chris

Chris, HI! Welcome to the blog! Great guess on the rails.. actually they are "Big ugly's" lol! The ugliest rails on the ugliest Hawk! ;) It is funny that the previous owner cut them to fit the graphics... people crack me up!
