WE'RE BACK!!! What's your favorite Skull Skates board of all time?! What brand should we 14 Things should we do next?

Do one for Heroin Skateboards! Especially since Deerman just left all his sponsors including Heroin! Definitely loved this one, Skull Skates has always had bit of an enigma to them due to their affiliation with Barrier Kult

I live in New Zealand, I have only ever seen one shop carry SkullSkates Products. An utterly square mum and dad sports shop that sold Cricket Gear and tennis Racquets, the only thing stake related they sold was SkullSkates products and SKF bearings. How they got into that vibe I will never Know but its one of the most random and out of place things I have seen....pretty cool for 1989.

I didn't realize how influential Skull Skates has been to skateboarding and how they were in California and are still in Japan. Maybe you guys could do a video in the future about the history of the Slam City Jam in Vancouver. Cheers from Brazil!!!

I live in Alberta and after years of just ordering online i finally got to go inside pd's this summer, it was everything I hoped it would be. Best skate shop, best skate website, best skate brand. No one else even comes close.

I remember getting my first Hosoi hammerhead model back in the day. I was so stoked!

Skull made one of my all-time favorite decks back in the late 80s. I hadn’t thought about them for quite some time…always love that deck. Thanks for the video

Solid. I learned a lot. Always down for some skate history that know nothing about. Now I know.

Thank you so much for doing this video. I loved learning about it.

Awesome episode and amazing research!

@8:35 skated in 80's SS Hammerheads... liked the shape & mellow concave (almost zero), but the SS wood or glue was weak af & they would snap easy. You could mail order these decks from the back of Thrasher, or score from the skate shop near the Hermosa Pier. If you ran into Pop he would give you stickers, and if were lucky a deck. Still have a mint OG SS Black/White Hammer signed by the G.O.A.T. Christian.

14 things about zorlac would be fucking dope!!!!

I skated with Barker and Bucky pretty often.

Would have been cool to include Skull Skates records, the awesome Sorcerer's record, and Bonnitos. Awesome job! Love these videos!

awesome vids man.

Hell yeah dude thanks for doing this one 👊

Thanks for this ..was very informative..I thought they were a long defunct skate brand from 80s..I wondered what had happened to them?.there was no info on the net at that time and they didn't have a website this was early 2000s I think...I seen a picture of Ryan Adams wearing a long-sleeve and remembered them..

Maneeee!!! This is dank 😩😩

Sick video! Interesting stuff. Funny to see the layback shot at the Baku barrier in Japan. I have a shot of me doing the same thing in the exact same spot a couple months ago.

My first 2 boards were both Skull Skates. The first was a Mutant and 2nd was the Hackett Street Cicle. Lots of love for Skull Skates!

Ha - weird timing - just went to PDs shop yesterday to buy another deck, and this came up as a video recommended for me! Skull skates is the shit and I'm glad I live so close by that I can visit PD and his shop every day (if I wanted to... but I don't because then I would be even more broke than I already am 😂). Great vid 🤘

great vid.

Sick episode. Been going to Pd's since the Oak st. days and currently ride their new Duane Peters deck with Motobilt trucks. HARDCORE CANADIAN COMPANY!

This was rad!

Would love to see a video on 1031 Skateboards and Deathwish

PD’s Hotshop is across two bridges from where I live 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 got some knee pads from there and the guy working there was hella chill

I had a silver hosoi skull skates back in the day. I love that company. Such a good video so in-depth so much I didn’t know, amazing job. Support your local skate shops. (Solstice skateboards New Bedford, Massachusetts).

Should totally do a vid on the barrier cult

I remember when I was 13 I would send $1 and an envelope to every shop I saw in Thrasher, Slap and maybe a few outta Big Brother...? I did get stickers from Skull Skates. Ya know, 14 on Big Brother would be cool since it was such a renegade mag owned by Larry Flint who also ran Penthouse. I miss the days of new videos and everyone meeting up at the shop to watch it then we'd all go skate. The internet kinda took that. Glad to see you adapting!!!

BRAVO!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

sick vid!

From Abilene Tx. Love ya'lls content

I have a really old board with a generic design that is that Hosoi shape and I've never been able to get any info on it. I think you just helped me figure out what it is. Thank you.

I made a homemade Skull Skates fingerboard in the 80's that was perfect. Wish I still had it. I remember their brief SoCal period back in the day.

I knew none of this but I know that I've held on to an original 80's bandana. Still got it.

i just recently found out it was started in regina i was hyped haha not too much comes from here

I remember getting my first board (Powell - Steadham) at PDs on Oak st. Parents would let us go in there like every weekend to look and back in the 80s my mom considered opening a shop in Richmond and got a lot of info from PD on contacts.

Bad ass! Skull skates por vida!

The Moka Only deck !! I was hoping you’d mention it , I’ve been keeping my eye open for one, my older cousin dated Moka for years back in the early 2000’s! random story, we all went to the slam city jam together in 2003 it was such a sick time , Moka was a good skater from what I remember

Thanks Skull Skates & Shredz Shop. I still need to get the Jak's Team deck, Hell I hope some day I can get into Canada BOOM

Another great episode! A little bummed you didn't mention the Nanaimo location.....it's where I bought my first pro board (86/87ish).

Chino, California checking in! My fave fact was it was co founded by Rick Ducommun and his brother! That was rad!

Always seen Skull Skates and thought it was rad. Now a certified fan

First skull skates snowboards were made at PowderStick in Calgary.

Much love from t bay!

Damn, did I hear Grotesque Impalement and Hammer Smashed Face in those transitions? Good shit Shredz!

So Great. The BAKU section. 😂

My first shop board was a Zorlac Metallica. My Mom bought it for me at Ape Skates in Red Deer Alberta. I remember how square I felt in this rad little shop, with cool guys hanging out. They were so rude to my mom. When skateboarding was edgy. I had to pick between a skull skates and the Zorlac, perhaps they were the right price, size, whatever. But my big brother Erik wore Pushead, Metallica shirts so I picked that. But I sure remeber my first SS shirt. Black longsleeve with logos down the arm. Paired with 501's, with a tight rolled cuff and black hightop old schools, I more than made up for my lack of skill. I remember looking good skating the long down ledge at board of education downtown Calgary.

cool one

I would love info on Crystal Ocean snowboards. I have one from the early 90's I believe.

Nice work again fellas. I love PD wearing a wrestling mask in the SNFU doc (open your mouth and say mr chi pig). ...maybe it was deer man.

I live in Vancouver and I got a skull skates tattoo on my left arm. So for me this video was titled "5 things you didn't know about skull skates" lol.but anyways I don't think skull skates gets enough recognition so I thought this video was really cool. Another rad Vancouver based company is monkē skateboards, I think it would be awesome if you did a video on them next or sometime soon!

Awesome. Back in the day, if you rode Skull Skates decks, you most likely also dressed all in black. Unless it was a Hosoi deck. They you looked like everybody else. They just had that vibe.

I still have my Crystal Ocean Skull Skates Frankenstein Glow In The Dark 153cm snowboard. I got it bran new in '95/'96 which is the season it was released. Rode it alot over the years but always took excellent care of it.

You almost say Vancouver like a Vancouverite. Nice video

I remember the skateboard museum. When I was a kid I begged my mom to go when it first open it was so sick.

Watching from home-base Regina, Saskatchewan

What is that red poster behind you that looks like it celebrates Canada? Looks dope

When I was a teen I used to buy boards and clothes at skull skate shop. Not sure if they are at the same location. I forgot it was called PD’s hot shop.

awesome vid!! so they re Canadions hey :)

I have a 1998 Crystal Ocean Snowboard!

This was a very rad little history lesson. 💀

LA Bronx, Bronze Age, Grind King, Z-Flex, Stussy. Have you covered Shut? Really dig your content. Thanks!

Josh Marlowe had a Skull skates model in the 80s. Josh is an east coast vert legend from OC Maryland/ Baltimore

What a comeback! Super Rad video. Levi should get onto Duane Peters youtube channel to do a talk. I can actually get a Duane Peters Skull Skates Skateboard deck now. Woo hoo!!

amazing content. late to the party so no sticker on my car or snw sliding device, geez! great white north locals only!!!! whatever, always got the boys of bummer, beep beep! hey!

I love my local spots here in CT but I can't stand that they only carry a vulc shoe collection. Where are the Cupsoles people?! Levi, if I order some merch from Shredz, can you personally pour maple Syrup on it?

14 things: fucking awesome

sick holmes. thanks for the history lesson. I didn't know about the Bones Rodriguez piece. Gonna add that to my list of little known history. boom! Keep on Shredding Shred Shops. Much love from SoCal and Culture y Skate, the best skate brand in San Diego, get some. BTW, I'm riding skull skates wheels right now! Peep my board set up video for proof.

I remember everyone in my family like my cousins and me all had skull skates stuff, like pillows, blankets and stuff

Did Storm snowboards out of Cslgary make those snowboards?

Kamloops bc Canada 🇨🇦... I ride the mutant board

Do a episode about Black Label, Zorlac, Block Head, please

I had a skull skates painter hat when I was a kid.

You should do creature

Fucking love these videos. That Kardashian pic got me heated for a minute till I realized it wasn’t real. Then I laughed. Great video!

Pretty sure I still have my old hoodie in the closet from when I was a teenager. Might have to pull that bad boy out!

Please do a video on f a/ hockey

my first real skateboard was a skull skates board back in the late 80s. loved that thing. beat the piss out of it too😂

You need to do a series on sk8 tv

History Alive Skull Skates

TERRY N' DEANER board rules!! AAAWWWOO!!! GIVE'R

Im wondering if anybody remember that skate mall Shop called Arsenic.. Hahaha damn 😅🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I know its a shame but i have some great memories about that shop. My first emerica shoes..thoses world industries and blind stickers... that Andrew reynolds birdhouse reaper deck. Thanks now we have ledgit skate shop run by real skaters

How many other cats watching this can still draw the logo from memory?

I've never heard of Skull Skates until now..probably bc its an old canadian brand

Good video. As a Canadian, I always considered Skull the pinnacle of skateboards. I’m currently rolling a Dead guys board. Please do Totally Rad from Saskatoon next!

I'm from Saskatoon, near Regina and I always thought skull skates was a BC company

What kind of team do they have now? Should kids from around the world send sponsor me footage to Skull Skates? Would be cool to see an international team of ams and future pros.

Do krooked!

Interesante
