NORDIC RUNES -- NORDIC CULTURE -- NORDIC STYLE COMES TO POWELL-PERALTA IN 1984.

"Tapping into Per's Nordic roots whilst still maintaining the skull 'n' snakes graphic motif. Per was one of the very few skaters at the time who could combine freestyle and street skating, and whilst Rodney Mullen's influence on street is documented, Per's excellence at the two disciplines does deserve recognition."
