We've Unearthed Buried Treasure!
Read more →In searching for original deck molds, 100 uncut Uncle Wiggley epoxy/glass blanks pressed in 1985 were discovered, these were the exact same blanks the first 3 Blockhead boards were cut out of in 1985! We were able to swing a deal for 30 blanks and are producing an ultra limited run of Streetstyle boards out of these.Here's a video of Blockhead founder Dave Bergthold and former Uncle Wiggley production manager Dave Bedore dusting off the blanks and throwing down a bit of history before they're loaded into Dave's truck and driven down to Watson Laminates where they will be cut, sanded, painted and screen printed. There's only 30 available so you'll have to act quick if you want one!
