Matt McMullan | Remembered Forever – Flip Skateboards
Matt McMullan was both a team rider and very close friend. Matt seemed like he had everything, but like too many others, life’s growing pains and struggles were overwhelming him.

Matt designed a Flip Peace sign logo which we have decided to bring to life to commemorate his memory as well as a reminder to all of us to watch out for friends in trouble and to personally seek help when life get’s tough.
These decks are hand screened in a very limited drop. Sold online at The Palomino Club and in person at Supreme London. All proceeds go to the Ben Raemers Foundation towards suicide prevention.
