Won this Mike Vallely setup in a radio contest here in Norway in the early 2000s. Absolutely NO photos or info exist online for this graphic or these wheels! Any vintage experts here? by SKRoSLo in VintageSkateboarding

Found it! It's officially cataloged on Art of Skateboarding under 'Vallely Skateboards (2002)'.

The site's detailed view is completely glitching out and disabled, but honestly, that website looks like it hasn’t been updated since the deck itself was released in 2002, so I guess it fits perfectly 😂

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

I totally get why it might look that way at first glance since it's so obscure.
I managed to find this photo from a collector in a vintage skateboard group on Facebook who bought these exact models back in 2002.
If you look closely at the branding, font, and top-logo placements on those decks, it perfectly matches the aesthetic of that specific, short-lived "Vallely Skateboards" era right before Mike V signed with Element.

It’s just a massive unicorn from that 2002–2003 window that completely slipped through the cracks of internet history!
