This is a rare Wentzle Ruml pro model from Deathbox. Wentzle Ruml is one of the original Z-Boys from Dogtown (Santa Monica/Venice). Limited edition pool riding shape. These are impossible to find. Mint condition.The term “DEATHBOX” is heavily associated with hardcore pool riding. In the Mid 70’s pool riding was the pinnacle of serious skateboarding. DEATHBOX Skateboards was born from Dave Hackett’s pool riding missions and vision for true hardcore skateboarding. Dave grew up in Malibu, skating with the likes of Venice locals Jay Adams, Tony Alva, Wentzle Ruml and the rest of the Dogtown crew. Part of this legendary crew was Steve Olson, who grew up in Seal Beach and skated with the same crew. In the late 90’s many of these legendary riders joined forces in launching DEATHBOX Skateboards.
