Stix SGV Deck John Lucero Flame "J" Shape (Black/White)

The Stix SGV Deck John Lucero Flame "J" Shape (Black/White) is a special in-house shop deck designed by legendary skateboarder, artist, and independent skateboarding lifer John Lucero. Lucero’s influence runs deep—from helping shape the early language of street skating to founding Black Label Skateboards and proving that skaters could create their own graphics, own their own brands, and keep their identity outside the corporate machine. Having his artwork on a Stix SGV deck connects our shop history with one of skateboarding’s most important independent voices.

The graphic is bold, raw, and instantly recognizable. Set on a clean black bottom graphic, the board is covered in an all-over white Lucero flame pattern, giving the deck a chaotic hand-drawn energy without losing its simplicity. The flames wrap across the entire board, surrounding a large stacked STIX SGV logo through the center. The lettering feels chunky, rough, and handmade, matching the spirit of Lucero’s classic artwork. The black-and-white contrast keeps it timeless, while the repeating flame layout gives the board motion before it even hits the ground.

This deck feels like a natural fit for the San Gabriel Valley—simple, tough, and built for actual skating. It has the kind of look that works anywhere from curbs and parking blocks in Monrovia to schoolyard sessions around Arcadia, Pasadena, Alhambra, Covina, Claremont, South Pasadena, and all the surrounding SGV cities. It is a shop deck with a real artist behind it, not just a logo slapped on wood.

The J Shape is a major part of what makes this deck stand out. Designed by one of the most iconic pros of all time, the J Shape is a modern take on a classic shape with a consistent 14.25-inch wheelbase throughout the size range. That consistency gives the board a familiar, reliable feel no matter what width you choose. The shape has a balanced nose and tail feel, making it a strong option for skaters who want a board that reacts quickly, flips cleanly, and still feels stable underfoot. It works well for street skating, ledges, curbs, flatground, banks, and everyday sessions where you want something that feels responsive but not overly twitchy.

Our STIX SGV decks are pressed in Mexico, and that matters to the quality of each board. Mexico has become one of the most respected places in skateboard manufacturing, known for consistent pressing, strong lamination, and dependable shape control. A good deck is more than the graphic—it is the pop, the strength, the concave, the way the board holds up after sessions, and the way it feels under your feet. Having our boards pressed in Mexico helps give each deck the durability, snap, and consistency that skaters expect from a proper shop board.

The Stix SGV Deck John Lucero Flame "J" Shape (Black/White) brings together Lucero’s independent skate legacy, a strong black-and-white graphic, a proven shape, and quality deck construction. It is a board that can be appreciated for the artwork, but it was made to be skated. For anyone who respects skate history, raw graphics, and a true shop deck with local roots, this one carries real weight.

Stix SGV has proudly served the San Gabriel Valley skateboarding community since the late ‘90s. With three locations across Los Angeles County, we’ve been deeply rooted in the local scene. Our Monrovia shop has been a staple since 1997, followed by our Claremont location in 2014, and our South Pasadena shop opening its doors in 2022. Our mission has always been simple: to uphold skateboarding culture and stay true to our community.
