The Deathwish Deck Erik Ellington Yesterday Is Gone (8.5) is a moody, minimalist banger that hits you right in the existential feels—perfect for those skaters who like their flick with a side of philosophy. Sized at 8.5” x 32” with a 14.5” wheelbase, it’s built to handle heavy street hammers and high-speed lines while still giving you room for finesse. The haunting artwork by Nathan Kostechko features a reaper calmly sipping tea alone at a white linen table, reminding you that even death has time to chill... or that maybe it's your turn to hit that spot today before it's gone.

Erik Ellington is a living legend in skateboarding—one of the most stylish and fearless skaters to ever step on a board. Known for his tech-gnarly finesse and iconic parts with Baker and Emerica, Ellington helped define an entire era of skateboarding. Beyond that, he’s one of the co-founders of Deathwish Skateboards, a brand born from the chaos and DIY spirit of Baker Boys Distribution. Since its launch in 2008, Deathwish has been a staple of hardcore street skating, mixing bold design, unapologetic style, and a crew of absolute rippers.

The deck art, handled by tattooer-turned-artist Nathan Kostechko, adds an elegant, somber tone that pairs perfectly with Ellington’s legacy—raw power, refined presence. Whether you're stacking clips in Pasadena alleyways or slapping curbs in Monrovia, this board has the shape and soul to match your mission.
