Title: Perus Crew decks?
Post by: sexualhelon on March 24, 2021, 03:16:40 AM
There's a shop by me selling these decks for really cheap, I guess because the brand doesn't seem to be around anymore, so I'm thinking of buying a few. Can't really find much info on them, I'd heard of them before, but I always thought it was just a crew in Finland. Just wanting to make sure I don't buy a couple of shit decks.

So anyone skated these decks before? I'd be curious to know what dist. they were coming from.  Here's a couple of links:

they used to be made from xcel/mdcn blanks, so might be the same as trap, happy hour skateboards, early polar.

Cool, thanks for the response. Don't think I've ever skated any of those would you say they're good quality - worth 25 euro?

I usually get my decks from skateshop24 in Berlin but they're all out of 8.25's atm :(

I'd say worth your 25€. I skated them a lot before, can't say which woodshop it was back then though. They are a really sick crew, they used make such rad videos. Eniz was a part of the crew, but not the company, which came later.

Here's Sami Miettinen, one of the original guys. Such an awesome skater.
