Get stoked on classic tail protection with the Powell Peralta Tail Bones 8", Black from Stoked Ride Shop. This original classic 8" skid plate bolts onto the tail of your deck to take the scrapes so your board doesn’t. Built for old-school shapes, pool skating, and anyone who likes to drag their tail, the durable black plate delivers that authentic 80s Powell look while extending the life of your deck. Each set comes with three #8 machine screws and full installation instructions so you can mount it securely and get back to skating.
Classic 8" Skid Plate Protection
Powell Peralta Tail Bones bring back the original shape that protected countless decks through the golden era of pool and street skating. The hard plastic plate mounts directly to the tail and absorbs the wear from slides, stalls, and everyday tail dragging so the wood underneath stays intact longer. The black finish matches almost any setup while the precise pilot holes in the Tail Bone give the screws a strong grip without stripping. Ideal for vintage-style boards and riders who prefer a protected, low-maintenance tail. Install it once and keep your board looking and performing better session after session.

Installation Note
Center the Tail Bone on the underside of your deck’s tail and mark the three holes. Drill through-holes in the deck large enough for the #8 screws to pass freely so the heads sit flush. The holes in the Tail Bone are sized as pilot holes for a secure thread grip. Insert the screws from the top of the deck, align the Tail Bone, and tighten. Nuts are not included if your setup requires them. Best suited for classic 8" wide old-school shapes rather than modern popsicle decks.
