Remember when one of the networks had a glowing puck in their tv broadcast for a couple years?  That was weird.

Hahah! I remember that glowing puck too.  I could be mistaken but I think they were doing that so non hockey fans could see the puck a little bit easier, but we all know those fans were only there for the fights.

Hockey Skateboards started with the focus on two guys, Donovon Piscopo and John Fitzgerald. In the words of Anthony Van Engelen: “If you skate with those dudes, they are so gnarly… it’s kind of brutal, kind of like Hockey.” - AVE.

It could also be ironic, since Hockey is a competitive team sport and I guess Hockey is one of the least X-games/Street league sort of brands.

Because he had to name the company something sick in order to counterbalance how stupid Fucking Awesome sounds. Hockey is a great name. I remember Dill mentioning somewhere it was originally going to be "Hockey Fight", not sure if I'd prefer that to the brevity of the one word name or not.

Wasn’t the full name “Hockey Eyes
Without a Face” or something?  Had to do with that hockey goalie graphic. 

Dill said that a lot of graphic ideas come from shit that scares him, and that seems to be concentrated more heavily on the Hockey side of things.  So that means Dill is afraid of:
-masks
-the killers in slasher movies (see above)
-kidnappers (often wear masks)
-mean dogs (would probably wear masks if they could)
-Hockey players (masks)


Most of these are primal, childlike fears.  Boogeymen, real  and imagined.


The more abstract, adult-type fears like global warming/financial collapse/dangers of organized religion are focused more on the FA side.  Which is ironic because you’d think the brand with the word “Fucking” in its name would speak more to his inner 5th grader. 

But that’s Dill: an enigma... bobbing up and down in a bottle of narcotic cough syrup.

Ehhh. Way to over think it. Hockey is Benny Magliano's brain child and does all the graphics. He's pretty big into movies from the 70's/80's hence all the movie references and use of songs from soundtracks for pretty much all their edits.

100% these two. And to tie it all together the tagline "Eyes Without a Face" also references the film Eyes Without a Face (1960, France, dir. Georges Franju). There's a board and a nifty/fancy/too expensive polo shirt that used the film's poster artwork. So it's not strictly 70's/80's films, but yeah, pretty much.

My favorite Hockey deck at this point is the Ben Kadow "Metal Mask" deck which is actually the mask from Demons (1985, Italy, dir. Lamberto Bava, prod. Dario Argento). I initially thought that Kadow just lucked out with this graphic, but I stumbled across an interview where he mentions Phenomena (1985, Italy) and Dario Argento, which flagged him as a full-on fan.

That early Hockey deck with the young Jason Vorhees graphic is pretty gnarly too. I'm stoked when companies use interesting non-skate images and references like this. However, I'm older and a massive film buff, so maybe I'm the only who gets a boner over this shit.

Wasn’t the full name “Hockey Eyes
Without a Face” or something?  Had to do with that hockey goalie graphic. 

Dill said that a lot of graphic ideas come from shit that scares him, and that seems to be concentrated more heavily on the Hockey side of things.  So that means Dill is afraid of:
-masks
-the killers in slasher movies (see above)
-kidnappers (often wear masks)
-mean dogs (would probably wear masks if they could)
-Hockey players (masks)


Most of these are primal, childlike fears.  Boogeymen, real  and imagined.


The more abstract, adult-type fears like global warming/financial collapse/dangers of organized religion are focused more on the FA side.  Which is ironic because you’d think the brand with the word “Fucking” in its name would speak more to his inner 5th grader. 

But that’s Dill: an enigma... bobbing up and down in a bottle of narcotic cough syrup.

The fuck is wrong with you man?

Hockey Skateboards started with the focus on two guys, Donovon Piscopo and John Fitzgerald. In the words of Anthony Van Engelen: “If you skate with those dudes, they are so gnarly… it’s kind of brutal, kind of like Hockey.” - AVE.

It could also be ironic, since Hockey is a competitive team sport and I guess Hockey is one of the least X-games/Street league sort of brands.

Ehhh. Way to over think it. Hockey is Benny Magliano's brain child and does all the graphics. He's pretty big into movies from the 70's/80's hence all the movie references and use of songs from soundtracks for pretty much all their edits.

100% these two. And to tie it all together the tagline "Eyes Without a Face" also references the film Eyes Without a Face (1960, France, dir. Georges Franju). There's a board and a nifty/fancy/too expensive polo shirt that used the film's poster artwork. So it's not strictly 70's/80's films, but yeah, pretty much.

My favorite Hockey deck at this point is the Ben Kadow "Metal Mask" deck which is actually the mask from Demons (1985, Italy, dir. Lamberto Bava, prod. Dario Argento). I initially thought that Kadow just lucked out with this graphic, but I stumbled across an interview where he mentions Phenomena (1985, Italy) and Dario Argento, which flagged him as a full-on fan.

That early Hockey deck with the young Jason Vorhees graphic is pretty gnarly too. I'm stoked when companies use interesting non-skate images and references like this. However, I'm older and a massive film buff, so maybe I'm the only who gets a boner over this shit. I hope to see more Horror and Italo Horror art from them in the future, but it's a fine line; you don't want to veer off into cartoonish gimmick territory. I think the company's safe in Benny Magliano's hands though.

i look forward to seeing more of you here

Whoa. Thanks for this, you two. I was half expecting a caustic sarcasm and negative responses, if any at all.

I’m obviously new to this and didn’t know there was a movie thread. I’m on it. Cheers!

There's a Deathwish Kirby with a Suspiria graphic already if you can still find one somewhere

I still have a brand new Hockey deck with the Eyes Without A Face movie poster graphic.

because if you took a video of a hockey player pushing a puck around with a hockey stick, and then cut the player out using special effects, the stick floating through the air and the puck sliding along below it would vaguely resemble a skateboard if you really took liberties in describing it.

AA's new shotgun graphic is also from some older movie can't remember what it's called tho.

Deliverance! That's a great graphic.

Yeah, the new batch of graphics are pretty rad. Looks like the Andrew Allen shotgun/Deliverance deck is already gone (both sizes). POOF!

The woman from the Kevin Rodrigues graphic looks very familiar and is likely from a film as well, but I can't place it. French actress, possibly? If anyone knows, let loose.

What's the Baghead graphic from? It looks super familiar but I'm not placing it.

Also, I'm over here wiggling my e-booty at No Wave Comply suggestively. This dude is coming in hot.

BOO-yar! Cheers for this! Looks like she’s Swiss, so I was damn close.

Incognito (1997) looks fully in my wheelhouse, as I’m a major Film Noir/Neo Noir/Crime/Thriller head. It’s on Amazon Prime and Jason Patric in the lead? He was the lead in one of my favorite Neo Noirs After Dark My Sweet (1990). I’m more than sold.
