Dying Scene is reporting that Duane Peters went missing after being released from jail February 13th. Corey Parks is listed as the source: PLEASE HELP US: @dpdisaster My son’s dad Duane Peters has been missing for the last two days. He was released from twin towers yesterday at 6:00 am and vanished. He is apparently NOT strung out on drugs of any kind, but in fact possibly suffering from some type of mental illness, dementia or schizophrenia, which would explain his recent behavior. He was released in a paper robe with no shoes, clothes, phone or money. His son Schuyler was waiting to pick him up and he literally mussed him by 5 minutes and he wondered down the street. We are all very worried, I have been in contact with his girlfriend and close friends and family NO ONE HAS SEEN HIM AT ALL. We have filed a missing persons report and Rob and I have been searching downtown around the mission and skid row with his photo all day. WE NEED HELP. Guys on skateboards and motorcycles cruising the streets, putting up flyers, PLEASE HELP US FIND DUANE!!! This is serious, something is wrong. UPDATE: Eric VonArab reporsts via Facebook…

It looks like a cross between classic Duane Peters graphic and a Bob Schmelzer graphic, on a skull skates shape. Tyler picked this up at work one day, but the original owner couldn’t shed any light on in it. The deck itself seems of a higher quality than typical bootlegs of the era. Is it a test print or a misprint that later had unrelated designs screened on it? Enlarged after the jump.

Check out this 1981 Tod Swank photo of Duane Peters at Del Mar with Glen E Friedman in the foreground shooting the same move that would end up in Thrasher.(Actually, i scanned the81 and early 80 issues, couldn’t find it.) 10 prints of this photo are up for grabs on eBay, complete with autographs by al three key players. Proceeds go to help Duane recover from massive hospital bills due to (not having insurance) and almost losing his leg. If only he were Canadian… Get yours before they sell out or Tuesday, June 14, 2011, whichever comes first.

There’s a picture of a tattoo of an iconic photo of Duane Peters on a Swedish skate blog called Old Bastards. No information on whose tattoo it is, I translated all the comments and they’re mostly about when the U.S. Bombs are going to be playing in Sweden. [Source: OMSA]

Here’s 1986 video for Hold It Now, Hit It that I’ve actually never seen before. Ad Rock is rocking what looks like an Uncle Wiggly board, unless Neil can correct me before this goes live. Please note, we’ve covered the existence of a later era Beastie Boys skateboard, although I could use a better picture. For the record, if that’s not an Uncle Wiggly, my second choice is Schmitt Stix. I am too lazy to go don in my basement and look through my copy of Disposable. UPDATE: I remembered the graphic, but not the name. Ah, senility. It looks like a Duane Peters. – Thanks to Eric Shea for the tip.
