In 1986 jump ramps were all the rage. They were easy to build, portable, and fun to launch off of. Unfortunately decks were snapping left and right. Powell-Peralta deck returns were so high the company sought ways to make decks stronger and more resistant to jump breaks. One solution was Bonite construction. Another was the "Gee-Gaw" shape which had bumps to reinforce the break zone area.  
This shape was also used with the Skull & Sword graphic.
Originally produced between 1987 and 1988.

About the Ripper Artwork:
Arguably the most iconic skateboard graphic of all time, "The Ripper" was illustrated in 1983 by legendary Powell-Peralta artist V.C. Johnson.
Originally the graphic was used as a "Bones Sold Here" dealer window sticker. Next, the artwork found it's way onto t-shirts and eventually decks.
The Ripper graphic has stood the test of time and has been a staple of the Powell-Peralta line for over 30 years.
