It was originally released in 1996, screen printed at Screamin'Squeegee, with artwork by Bernie Tostenson. It’s inspired by the Cheech and Chong comedy duo, created by Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong in the 1970s. Flip didn’t hold the rights to use the images of them when they first released the deck. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a663b4b61e351419c157a52/1785906277460-LRETZTJDMR8PHN40I2HX/tommy%2B8.jpg.webp Collaborators - Tommy Fachiri - Tom Penny's Cheech and Chong Skateboard Deck Reissue The board model was then called “Tom’s Friends” or “Friends”. Flip winged it at first without Cheech and Chong knowing about the graphics. Then years later they eventually found out. Cheech Marin was a fan of skateboarding and was rad enough to continue letting Flip make the board as long as they both got some royalties. So they actually still pay them on a monthly basis! This was around 2012 when the board was “legalized”. Flip officially named it Cheech and Chong. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a663b4b61e351419c157a52/1785906278624-BBIN7X84501C2ZV6A2FC/tommy%2B9.jpg.webp Collaborators - Tommy Fachiri - Tom Penny's Cheech and Chong Skateboard Deck Reissue This graphic has seen many reissues over the years, with various background colours or tie dye and marijuana patterns. 96' to the present day, one of Flip's best-selling boards. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a663b4b61e351419c157a52/d7a7de4f-a9a1-49cc-a64e-5d0c5f7c7a03/Tommy%2B3%2B.jpg.webp Collaborators - Tommy Fachiri - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Bournemouth+rapper monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Dave+Clarke+Das+SPEZIAL monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/massive+attack monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Drew+Morgan+experimental+music monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Das+SPEZIAL+music monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Dave+Clarke+music+producer monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Drew+Morgan+string+arrangements monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Reign+MC+UK+grime monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Das+SPEZIAL+artist monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Blood+Diamond+Reign+MC monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Dave+Clarke+Manifest+EP monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/experimental+electronic+music monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Das+SPEZIAL+Kids+3 monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Neil+Davidge monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Das+Spezial+artist+series monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Das+SPEZIAL+contemporary+classical+music monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Dave+Clarke+Bad+State+remix monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Tommy+Fachiri monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/SPZL+KIDS+3 monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Dave+Clarke monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Back+%26+Forth+screen+printing monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Das+SPEZIAL+X+Back+%26+Forth monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Das+SPEZIAL+Monopoly monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Alina+Kalancea+Monopoly+remix monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Das+SPEZIAL+Manifest+EP monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Buchla+synthesis monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Tommy+Fachiri+Back+%26+Forth monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Shahab+Notghi monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Drew+Morgan+cello monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Todd+Barton monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Tommy+Fachiri+screen+printing monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Banksy+clowns monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Stew+Jackson monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/synths monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Das+SPEZIAL monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Alina+Kalancea monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Reign+MC+Das+SPEZIAL monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Soundfreak+Modular monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/buchla monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Drew+Morgan+film+music monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Reign+MC monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Bournemouth+screen+printer monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/serge monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/sound+design monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/todd+Barton+Monopoly+remix monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/artist/tag/Drew+Morgan+composer monthly 0.5 https://www.dasspezial.com/about daily 1.0 2026-08-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a663b4b61e351419c157a52/cc053b95-e9cd-4b85-b354-3c0c9fcd161c/WhatsApp+Image+2026-08-03+at+18.51.56.jpeg
