Find Powell Peralta on Social Media
We started our business in 1977 with the idea that we could build a better skateboard and a better wheel than was currently on the market. Since that time, hundreds of skateboard companies have come and gone, and yet we’re still here doing the same thing we began doing 40 years ago; waking up every morning trying to build a better board, a better wheel, a better bearing and trying to give something back to skateboarding because it’s given so much to us. We were one of the few fortunate companies that came of age as skateboarding itself was coming of age. As we built our business, we were also helping to build the entire skateboard industry from the ground up. We were there during the backyard ramp revolution, we kicked off the action sports video revolution with the Bones Brigade Video Show, we had the great fortune to work with and develop the greatest innovative and competitive team in skateboarding history, The Bones Brigade–a team which can take credit for inventing all forms of the Ollie, the 540, and the 720 to name but a few, and then we were there to help mid-wife the street skating revolution. It’s been a great experience with many dramatic changes and unforeseen surprises, but to this day it continues to be a great ride for us. George Powell and Stacy Peralta thank all of you for sharing and being a part of this history.
