Original 1987 SIMS Eric Nash “Bandito” skateboard deck. This vintage deck is the original.. Definitely one of the Holy Grails of vintage SIMS skateboards! Eric Nash first pro model. This deck is one-of-a-kind as it was made for Eric and supposed to be one of his personal riders. It was saved and never ridden. As you can see it is marked NASH on the top side (see pic 8). Also what makes this super cool and super rare is that it is the first run “Fck You” model. The Sims Eric Nash was a big surprise. He told me what he wanted: A bandito with smoking guns, where the smoke spells his name. I did the art, it was approved, and it went through the production mill. A few months later I get a call from the marketing director telling me all the decks say “fck you” in the smoke – apparently some Amish kid in Pennsylvania bought the deck and his momma spotted it and called the company screaming, Lawyer, lawyer! I have to see this. I looked at my art and couldn’t see it. So I went to the office, where Greg and Marty pointed pointed it out to me. Honestly, I couldn’t see it until they pointed it out. Then it wouldn’t go away. That’s all I could see. So of course I had to redo the art, and all was well in Skateville again. I think about 500 boards made it to market before the fix. Legendary artist – Andy Takakjian. Beautiful PURPLE stain deck. Awesome wood grains and crazy cool screenprinting. Brand new old stock (NOS). Never setup or skated absolutely no twist.
