Best: Alien Workshop, Toy Machine, Stereo, World Industries, Habitat, Blind, Osiris.

Worst: Numbers, Sovryn, Business & Company, Illegal Civ., Jart, Thank You, Almost, Grimple Stix, Slave, Deathwish, 1031, NSS shoes (with the N as a upside down U).

I feel like grimple should get a pass considering it originated as an April fools joke

The lack of Free Dome in this thread is pretty surprising to me.

Was thinking about this one. Savemart doesn't take cash, credit only, cash unaccepted due to covid. It's a second hand clothing store. You have got to be kidding me.

Still don't know if Scram Earth Skii belongs on the best or worst list.

I might be way wrong about this one, but I have a memory of some wheel company in early 90s called HIV

Skate mafia is a terrible name but they are one of the best things in skating right now. Just a tight crew of homies that rip. Reminds me of some of the early 90’s teams.

But it isn’t Skate Mafia. It’s Sk8Mafia. And they have a special hand sign. And their logo looks like an icon for an email app

I always thought the sk8mafia logo looks like a little house, but I can kinda see an envelope too now that you mention it
