A new Powell Peralta Museum returns to ASR.
The Powell Peralta Museum will be back at ASR this September with some new additions. Be sure to stop by Meeting Room 26B if you get a chance.
New white G-Bones have been added to the Powell Peralta wheel line.
The Kevin Harris Powell Peralta Re-Issue Freestyle * deck has been quite popular. The Kevin Harris Powell Classic * is also now in stock. This board was a request by Kevin to have a popsicle shape for skaters that weren’t around during the last freestyle period.
Powell Classic has also added new colors to Ripper, Skull and Sword, Original Logo, Hot Rod Flames and theSteve Steadham decks. Bowl Bomber wheels now comes in PF as well as 95a.
In an effort to further support public skatepark * building in the U.S., Powell Classic and Powell Peralta are offering a limited amount of select Powell Classic and Powell Peralta decks for sale by auction. Portions of the proceeds from the auction will go to support public skateparks *.
Powell Peralta represents products that George and Stacy have agreed to re-issue under that brand name. Powell Classic products represent other products that don’t fit in the vision that George and Stacy have for Powell Peralta. Powell Classic also includes larger deck shapes and wheel sizes catering to those skaters that are looking for this type of product.
The new line of Powell Classic K-10s. Sheer performance.
