VALLELY X SUICIDAL - Released 2015

Mike Vallely and Jim “Red Dog” Muir had an early conversation in 1988 at the Tempe, AZ Duel in the Desert contest. Jim commented on how Mike V  was no “Bones Brigader” and was instead Dogtown material. Through the years Jim, his brother Mike Muir of Suicidal Tendencies, and Mike V “have lived in that place where Skateboarding and Punk Rock music intersect” - Speaking their minds and doing things their own way.

In 2015 DTxST made this story come full circle. Mike V, respected for his history and contribution to skateboarding, Mike Muir, lead singer/founder of Suicidal Tendencies, and Jim Muir, a 2014 Skateboarding Hall of Fame Inductee brought you a 3 skateboard collaborative series. Releasing under the Suicidal Skates brand and shaped by Jim Muir. 

Jim drew inspiration from the mid 1980’s Dogtown Web skateboard and Street Plant era.  Artwork by Ric Clayton: the original ST Possessed to Skate artist. Ric’s  inspiration is drawn from Mike V’s iconic Judo Street Plant.  Originally This Limited Edition Artist Print paint job had a three color yellow, orange, to red transparent/florescent color fade with a .008” silver and purple fairy dust metal flake highlight fade and lacquer finish. Jim added an additional six extra coats of paint, elbow grease, and other treatments to make this high gloss finish a unique one of a kind deck. This is the last board available in this shape and color way and no more will be produced or released.
