Signed Deck - Gabriel Rodriguez (RIP)
101 Bomb - Art by Marc McKee
(late 1993-ish, very early 1994-ish, Slap pals !)
L.A. Dave got this Deck from Gabriel about a year before he passed away. There was a guy sending him reproductions of his graphics from his decks. This may be a one and only. This is not a slick bottom this is a 7-ply hard rock maple.

Gabe had this to say about this graphic. "Another violent graphic, this one was more World War II-inspired. Natas actually had an actual, real World War II bomb, I remember he had it at his house, I’m not sure where he found it, probably some Army surplus.
I can’t recall if they hand-painted all this on the bomb, but for some reason I have this vague remembrance of seeing it painted already… Then they took a picture and laid it out. This is maybe almost my favorite one, ever. Just the aesthetic aspect of it, I love the actual cartoon too.
This deck was signed by Gabriel at L.A Skate one Saturday afternoon. Gabe was already in Pain and had a hard time sitting in a chair. He later found out he had a Tumor on his spine. It was a sad day when he told me that. I Miss our Saturday afternoon visits at the shop.

These decks are rare pieces of the history of skateboarding and should be treated as the holy grail. All skateboards are sold without any warranty and as-is.
