SHORT 4 - 2.125” TRUCK HOLE PATTERN

ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
Chris’s first pro graphic features a skeleton bursting out of a jack in the box — a bold metaphor for breaking free from limitations and embracing authenticity. It represents the idea of thinking outside the box, stepping out of your comfort zone, and owning who you are. Created in collaboration with VCJ, the design captures the raw feeling of self-discovery and transformation. Chris’s hope is that his graphic invites skaters to recognize each other, spark conversations, and build community, especially for those who might feel unseen or out of place.

Unbeknownst to both Chris and Court, the graphic would take on an even deeper meaning. Court was in the middle of designing the piece when he experienced a heart attack — a shocking event that mirrored the image he was drawing: a Jack in the Box, heart at its center, radiating outward. What started as a playful idea became a raw, symbolic reflection of life’s unpredictability, and a reminder of how art, emotion, and experience are often more connected than we realize.

Product Description

The Powell Peralta Pro Chris Hiett Skull FLIGHT Skateboard Deck combines Chris Hiett's signature skull artwork with Powell Peralta's innovative FLIGHT deck construction. Measuring 9.5" wide by 31.13" long, this deck offers a broad, stable platform for skaters who prefer extra foot space and confident control for street, park, and transition skating.

Built using Powell Peralta's FLIGHT technology, this deck is designed to provide strength and durability in a thinner, lighter profile than a traditional seven-ply maple deck. Its reinforced construction is engineered to resist breaking while maintaining responsive pop, making it a great option for skaters who want a high-performance deck for demanding sessions.

The 9.5" width provides plenty of room for stable landings, ramp riding, and powerful turns. Chris Hiett's distinctive Skull graphic adds bold Powell Peralta style to a performance-focused design. Whether you're skating bowls, parks, or street spots, the Pro Chris Hiett Skull FLIGHT Deck offers a combination of premium construction, stability, and classic skateboarding artwork.
