Back in the 80’s, when Francesco was turning out graphics left and right, he and T-Mag decided to re-draw his original Tragi-Comedy masks that Mag used for his very first UWS graphic, which was also later updated.
Francesco included the Serpent and also made a one of cooler top graphic logos, putting the Cross, The Serpent and the Joker in a paradoxical situation, all in good keeping with the philosophical meaning of the masks, which has endured centuries of use.
Back in the 80’s, calling a deck “Team Model” didn’t really have meaning but the deck and graphic was known as such. The top graphic does say “Magnusson Designs”, which is what H-Street was called before it was H-Street. Mag didn’t like it and couldn’t wait to get rid of it, hence why there’s very few of those decks around. But some of the OG H-Street decks carried that name during a short transition period.
It was also the time of crazy shapes, so we designed this deck to include some of the features, but Mag updated it a bit to fit modern Park&Pool skating.
The Original Shape is
33 X 9, with a 7 Nose, 6.75 Tail & 15 Wheelbase and is on various colored veneers. The image is an example only of the color of wood.
The Park&Pool Shape is 32.8 X 8.5, with a 6.8 Nose, 6.75 Tail, & 15 Wheelbase.

Tony Mag started skateboarding in Stockholm, Sweden when skateboarding swept the country in 1976. After spending a few years at the top of the Swedish skateboard scene, T-Mag won the National Championship and toured the nation. The young T-Mag decided to pursue his life dream of becoming the best skateboarder in the world and jumped on a plane to California at age 16 in 1980.
T-Mag became a “park local” skateboarder at the legendary Del Mar Skate Ranch and decided to learn how to make skateboards. He immersed himself in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing and selling them.
While the beginning was humble, over a 45-year time span, T-Mag has traveled the world as a professional skateboarder, started multiple successful companies in the action sports industry, besides H-Street Skateboards and still rides a skateboard today.
