 Character Began its existance as an advancement on Daddow Skateboards pre-existing company logo, created with the intention of adding more flair to the company's iconography allowing for a more eyecatching quality for deck-art and t-shirt design.... it was never used ...so as the trasharama film fest had a pre-existing crossover art deal with Daddow skateboards, the nameless skull became "LongPig - Head onna Stick""- a combo meal of canabilism and head-hunting" |

Design notes : Headhunting is the practice of taking and preserving a person's severed head. Headhunting was practised in historic times in parts of China, India, Nigeria, Nuristan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Borneo, Indonesia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Japan, Micronesia, Melanesia, New Zealand, Mesoamerica, Southwestern United States and the Amazon Basin, as well as among certain tribes of the Celts, the West Germanic peoples, the Norse and Scythians of ancient Europe. It occurred in Europe until the early 20th century in the Balkan Peninsula and to the end of the Middle Ages in Ireland and the Anglo-Scottish border regions.
Steve Daddow is the face of longboarding in Australia. He pioneered the sport in his home country and has worked hard with local media to get the sport off the ground and portrayed in a positive light. Many of Oz' best downhill skaters and slalom riders have Steve to thank for getting them started too. He's been skating for 26 years and has a lot to show for it, including multiple titles for giant slalom racing.
