a few years back my buddy chris gave me a 1981 powell peralta mike mcgill. i'm sad to say he is no longer on this planet and i'll keep this board 4 ever. i'm lucky to have friends that are into some cool shit like steve...aka mr. 327, chip delam, teddy smalls. steve has a mad collection of old school decks. he's the bee's knees at buy'n, swap'n, flip'n and restore'n boards. i gave him the mcgill to clean up. i must say it looks pretty nice.
