The Force Is Here In Strength

Interesting that these boards have an anti theft serial number on the bottom, originally supposed to be stamped. They must have changed methods because the word “stamped” has been colored over, see the original art. This is a two full page spread.

The Force – It’s Here In Strength

Force your way into the top grade with this sensational new range of top-quality boards. Two woodies, two laminate and one speedflex deck, all fitted with top-line US trucks, all featuring the brand new Blackjack wheels, and all just dripping with class.

Every Force board has an anti theft serial number stamped on the underside – and they all come complete with free griptape too!

See the whole range at your local skate shop now – if you can force your wav through the crowd.
