Steve Olson was SkullвЂ™s first official pro skater, he famously make a вЂcheckerboard falling apartвЂ™ graphic that symbolized his relationship with NHS falling apart. Feetus was one of the first Canadian Jacks. Jacks is a skate crew originally from SF, all along the west, and had a heavy presence in east van, they all embraced Skull right away. Over the years the skull team reads like a Skateboarding Hall of Fame. The US chapter built a lot of lasting relationships with iconic pros T hey currently also have a location in Japan (1994) PD Hot Shops. In 1983, they open a LA chapter of the brand, as RickвЂ™s acting career is taking off and heвЂ™s spending more time in California. VCJвЂ™s skull have gone on to be probably the most iconic graphics in skateboarding ever. Although we cannot confirm or deny this rumor, itвЂ™s pretty coincidental and rad to think that the skulls and dark graphics of VCJ that defined a generation, were inspired by a little skateboard company in Canada. Ray вЂBonesвЂ™ Rodriguez who had the first even pro model with Powell drawn by the iconic VCJ Vernon Cortland Johnson, he was asked what he wanted on his board and he asked for a graphic with a skull. This was still in the early days of graphics on skateboards, many brands at the time would just print their name on the bottom of a board. ThereвЂ™s old folklore that Skull actually inspired the Skulls artwork that became so synonymous with Powell Peralta over the years. The name takes influence from BMX stores at the time being called a 'hot shop'. The Vancouver location gets named PD's Hot Shop, which again is named by older brother Rick. In 1979, the Saskatchewan location moves to Vancouver, BC.

It's also interesting to note that the original Skull logo still says GNC Skates next to it.ДЄfter a while, the logo becomes so popular and recognizable, that customers just start refering to the brand as 'Skull Skates'. The logo is so bold and basic because it was originally carved into an already gripped skateboard and peeled up.

PD said вЂњI can do a better oneвЂќ, but Rick said no. When the brand was still called GNC Skates PD hand carves a Skull into the top of his griptape, his brother Rick sees this and says this should be the logo. The original GNC Skates logo is a ying-yang logo, inspired by the Town & Country Surfboards logo. The name would later be shortened to GNC Skateboards. This makes them Canada's oldest skateboard company, and one of the longest-running skateboard brands in the world. In April 1978, they form Great North Country Skateboards, although they had already been experimenting and making boards years prior to this. Eventually, the lists of things he needs to bring home become so large that they decide they need to start a shop. Rick is coming and going from the skate mecca of California and bringing skate stuff back to his brother and friends in Canada. Older brother Rick starts with an iron-on t-shirt company and is traveling back and forth to California. Older brother Rick got into skating in the mid 60вЂ™s and younger brother Peter started skating in the early 70вЂ™s, so they are definitely pioneers to the skateboarding.
