This is a super rare skateboard from 2002. One of the best all time skateboard graphics by Mark Gonzales. It's from the limited edition "Silver Series" by Gonzales' sponsor at the time, Real Skateboards. Gonzales was commissioned to create graphics for each pro on the team including himself, Keith Hufnagel, Max Schaaf, Cairo Foster, and Matt Field. This board is by far the best graphic and most collectible. It's become an absolute grail and is a must-have for any Gonzales collector, or any skateboard collector for that matter. It's that iconic and historically important. Each board from the series is fully dipped in silver paint and then silkscreened. This exact board was exhibited in Beautiful Losers. This is one of the true crown jewels we've released from the archive.
