Skateboarding grew out of empty pools, parking lots and rough streets in the 1970s. It was never planned or polished, it just happened. The same kids who built ramps and filmed their friends were the ones searching for sound that felt the same.
Punk came first. Fast, raw and completely independent. Bands like Black Flag, Minor Threat and The Misfits gave skating a sound that matched its pace. It spread through backyard sessions and skate videos long before it reached the radio.
Then metal came along. Slayer, Metallica and Suicidal Tendencies brought a heavier edge, and the lines between scenes started to blend. Skaters did not care about genres, they cared about energy, and both worlds had plenty of it.
Together, skateboarding and music built something real. Not a trend or a style, but a shared culture that refused to be controlled. Ramps, records and road trips, it was all part of the same heartbeat.
Both the music and the skating have changed over time, but the roots are still the same.
This page is about keeping that connection alive, offering identity, expression and products that reflect the culture that shaped us.
Skateboarding and music are still the core. Always have been.
