    Currently available!  >>  One (1) old school H-Street Skateboards / Tony Magnusson / "Hell Concave" / skateboard deck!
    **This particular H-Street deck is a one-off**
    Constructed and pressed at Wiggley Designs, this
    1988
    H-Street deck is authentic and unique! The "Hell Concave" graphic on this particular deck is mirrored. That is, the graphic art was printed onto the deck backwards. This is not a blem or mistake though, it is a one-off deck that was printed by the staff at Wiggley Designs! Below is an excerpt taken from the popular website ArtofSkateboarding.com which further explains the origin of this unique relic.

    UWS Oddities and Oddballs....Employee Perks
    !
    Part of Doug and Tony's arrangements for their staff was "1 deck a week", and their staff leveraged that to the hilt. "What's the new hot shape? Alva Hosoi Fish? Let's make one!!!"
    The deck to the right is a 6 ply, fiberglass between the outer skins, all standard UWS assembly. The similarity ends there. It is an Alva Hosoi shape (or darn near). These guys would cut shaping templates for whatever they liked, and keep them around. Chances are in Dave's stash there will be Gonz templates, Lance FP templates, basically anything that was popular and left in the warehouse when they closed. Also factor in UWS pressing other companies decks, so legitimate templates for Vision, SGI, Sims, Blockhead, H-Street, Magnusson Designs, Steadham Designs, etc. were all lying around the shop.
    Doug Ring's only rule was this.....Basically all official UWS decks were hit with white as a primer coat (stains were the exception, naturally, but they didn't make a bunch of those). If it wasn't a Wiggley model, no white, hence the flat black. Also no rivets.
    So, there could be hundreds of UWS made boards in all types of shapes out there, some unique, some other brands shapes, but the one common thread is standard UWS construction, and all were made and used by the guys who worked there.
