I was fascinated by those..

I don't know... they were so different. Still like em a lot, maybe it's just nostalgia.

magentas graphics are always great. i love aliens too. the new Abigail & Dave Portner graphics are sick.

I dunno about the best of all time, but I've always loved early Chocolate series (anyone know if there's an archive of all the Chocolate series online anywhere?)

and Western Edition kills it too

I could google search old boards I had all day. If I ever make millions I'm gonna have the dankest board collection

Topic is best graphics not best series, which is everything these days. nevertheless, this is hands down my favorite series of all time. The Stranger board may be my fav graphic ever.

Old Alien graphics are my favorite especially the Neil Blender and paper mache model ones.

Also thought this one was pretty good.

I'm diggin the skate mental deck and the muska one. Always love the toy machine and cliver is the best.

I remember some early baker graphics were really great (piss drunk era, some ads were tight too, don't really like their image today).
I can't find a picture online but i remember this graphic of reynolds, he was pictured as sammy in scooby-doo with a black and white stripes t-shirts in a long retro car drivin by a pimp, throwing dollars with the hollywood pannel in the back.

Some pro model of reynolds when he was on birdhouse were thigt too.

That would be great if brand just keep all their graphics online.

Here is a link of some classic graphics :

This answer is so fucking predictable and unoriginal.

The pool bar series and jazz band series are cool as shit. Who did those?

plankskate · « **Reply #27 on:** June 30, 2013, 02:57:50 AM »

This Lebowski series from 5AM skateboards is very cool:

I've always liked this 101 Natas Patriot as well:

Alot of the random spoof decks from the early 90's we cool as well.

It was kind of cool when graphics didn't come out as often and you could identify the pro by their board. Graphics used to run for years at a time, then when they did change, it was usually a tweak on the same theme- Cab-Dragon, Hawk-Hawk, Natas-Panther, etc. Seems like the OG Muska board was the last of that. That was out for ever, I guess Penny too. Also- pros used to have their "shape" and would pretty much only ride their own boards. Like you'd never see a photo of Hawk on a Lance board. Now as long as your under the same distro, pros ride whatever board they're feeling and get their sizes "assigned" according to what sells.

Anyways- Sick graphics I remember as a kid.

Natas- SMA Panther
Lance M- When he started drawing his own stuff
SC- Corey O'brien reaper
Stranger- Syringe
Valelley- Barnyard
Hensley- Kingsize
Thiebaud- Klansman
Kelch- The kid in the field
J. Lee- Cat in the hat
J. Klien- Candy vs. Veggies
