Powell Peralta Steve Steadham Spade Reissue

Immediately after his debut pro contest at Pipeline, Steadham placed second at the Eagle Rock ramp contest, then fourth at Nebraska’s Midwest Melee. When Stacy and George finally gave him a model in 1985, the Stecyk-drawn Rasta-skull graphic and sidecut shape helped propel Steadham’s signature deck toward the top of the company’s bestsellers at the time. Near the end of 1985, with a decision he says he now regrets, Steadham quit the Bones Brigade.
