I feel like Yellow was around for a while. Bummed when it closed because I was weirdly into it for some reason.

I liked Yellow a lot. They had a team of mostly Florida guys and they did that cool 411vm promo right before they were gone. I'm pretty sure Johan Stuckey was fully on too at the time.

What about when Lucky bearings branched out and made boards?

The team was fucking amazing! Henry and Spencer as pros (just after Sight Unseen too, so Henry was still killing it) and Jack Curtain as the am.

Was Steve Cales pro as well? For some reason that rings a bell.

But they only lasted a couple of months. Graphics sucked if I remember correctly.

Bike skateboards was around for a minute in the mid-90's. Their boards were tiny.

If Bike counts then Zimbabwe should too. They had Ellington and Shane Heyl when he had dreads.

The only flow boxes I ever received were from treefort. My buddy sent out footage of me along with his sponsor me. I was so pissed he sent it out without me knowing, but was stoked on the boards that arrived, and huge colored pants too. Treefort had to have lasted longer than lots of these brands listed above,because I got boxes at least 2 separate summers.

I want to say they were around for about 2-3 years, 96 -97ish

I've got a shirt that says 97. Just dug it out and looked. I graduated in 94, and think it was a thing soon after.

Treefort was definitely not a short-lived company; they had a full team and released a video.
Wasn't the owner sketchy/creepy?

Threat with Garrett Hill and Forrest Edwards

If a board brand folded before product was ever released, does it really even count as a brand?
Pro-lifers would say yes.

How about brands that simply had to change names due to copyright issues (like Mother/Quasi or Menace/City Stars/etc.)?

Either way, some brands mentioned here at least had product for a few months or even a year or two and that easily beats Threat.

There are also a LOT of vanity brands from aged-out pros. I know Ron Allen had at least 2 aside of Life and ADI (Heaterz & E.N.E.R.G.Y.) before he gave it up. Don't think many of those board made it more than a few miles from his trunk, though. Does a brand need major distribution to count here?

Fun thread. It would be a hilarious exercise to compile the hundreds of small-time vanity brands and what pros were embarrassingly associated with them.

How long was Grey Market around for? I know Pepe had a couple of boards, but it seemed to fold pretty quick. Who else rode for them?

Soft Boiled · « **Reply #148 on:** April 13, 2019, 06:37:17 PM »

Has anyone said Illuminati yet? It seemed like it went straight to Silverstar. Similar to when Mother debuted, then went straight to Quasi. Similar to Illuminati, it was over trademark issues.

Bianca Chandon was a board company briefly before they were a shawl and scarf company.
