Rob Roskopp Monster Target Series (5) – Santa Cruz – Jim Phillips. Excellent Condition – Lightly used – Minimal wear on the deck/graphics. Still fitted with OG 169 Thunder trucks. One base plate has a skull, the other has a lizard. I loved the graphics – too cool to scratch off so never rode this one much. Those trucks are Lightly used and still have tons of grind left in them. This classic Rob Roskopp Santa Cruz deck designed by Jim Phillips was first released around 1984. The Target with the monster’s arm breaking through was so popular that Phillips, Roskopp, and Santa Cruz went on to release 6 more to make one of the gruesomest(and coolest) graphic series’ in skateboard history. Looking back at it now, the series definitely gives off a type of’vintage grotesqueness’ and old school 80’s gnar that conjures up a heavy dose of nostalgia.
