[10]

Real

Origin

Real Skateboards is a skateboard company [11] that was founded in 1991 by Tommy Guerrero and Jim Thiebaud, ex-Powell Skateboards riders at the time of formation, [12] with support from skateboarding pioneer and entrepreneur, Fausto Vitello. [13] Guererro explained in a twenty-year anniversary interview:

I'm not quite sure how me and Thiebaud met; through mutual friends, I think. We were skating together all the time, when he moved to the city and I was giving him Powell gear, and that's, and then he got on Powell, you know, after that—he just felt it wasn't right, you know? And, he went to skate for Natas. You know, he skated for, for, SMA for a while, and then the opportunity came to do something with Real. He approached me, but also Fausto and those guys approached me to be part of it, and at that point in time, at Powell, I was sort of being put on the back burner—'cause all the young guns coming, and I felt it, I knew, you know. And I figured, shit, I want to stay, stay in this world for as long as I can. You know, who wants to grow up? ... And we were sort of the first to start our thing on our own, in the sense that we were spearheading it and we did whatever we wanted ... Skateboarding is, it's not, it's not about stardom, or any of that stuff; it has nothing to do with it. So we kind of took it back, back into the streets ... Skating has to be raw—you gotta keep it raw and I think Real has done a good job of that.It was all about just friends doing something together that they believed in. when you have that, it's kind of unstoppable. [13]

Guererro, an accomplished musician in addition to his ongoing role at Real, has praised Thiebaud for his commitment to the company, explaining that, "Jim has held it down ... and really is, the genius behind Real. It's all owed to the skaters and to Jim; all skaters past, present, and to come. '91—when we first got our boards in, and, um ... and that's why we're here today, twenty years later." [13]

In 2012, Real released the Pushing series that featured video parts of its riders showcasing locations in the North American continent, according to the hometowns of the team riders—the parts were named after the respective locations, e.g. Pushing Georgia and Pushing Vancouver . Senior team riders Dennis Busenitz, Ernie Torres, and Peter Ramondetta (with Kyle Walker) were featured "pushing" San Francisco, [14] Colorado, [15] and Oklahoma, [16] respectively. The series blurb explained: "As part of this year's summer tour the REAL riders each went home to push. Not only to skate the streets they call home, but to push the areas themselves." [17]

Actions REALized

In May 2013, Thiebaud collaborated with longtime friend Billie Joe Armstrong from American band Green Day to form the Actions REALized X Green Day collaboration deck project in support of the Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland that is based in California, U.S. The Center is the Bay Area's sole independent children's hospital and a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the skateboard decks will be donated to benefit the Center's mission to care for every child who needs help, regardless of their financial status. [18] The fundraising campaign is part of Real's "Actions REALized" division that undertakes projects based on the premise that "skateboarding can be a positive force for change", [19] and past projects have contributed to efforts to combat childhood leukemia and the relief efforts in the wake of the 2011 Japanese earthquake. [20]

Team

According to the company's website, the 2023 Real team consists of Dennis Busenitz, Ishod Wair, Chima Ferguson, Kyle Walker, Mason Silva, Jack Olson, Jake Donnelly, Nicole Hause, Max Schaaf, Jimmy Wilkins, Patrick Praman, Zion Wright, Harry Lintell, Gage Boyle, Tanner Van Vark, Christian Henry, Dan Mancina and Hermann Stene. [21]

Anti Hero Skateboards

Origin

AntiHero is a board company that was founded by professional skateboarder Julien Stranger in 1995, following a proposition from Thiebaud, who is reported—by Jake Phelps, editor-in-chief of Thrasher —to have offered Stranger the opportunity during a period of time when both Stranger and Phelps perceived skateboarding as "stale". Stranger has explained the original concept that underpinned AntiHero in the following manner: "Oh, there's was no concept ... well, maybe there was, I don't know. Just kind of balance out the rest, or something, with what was going on with us." [22] Phelps has stated further to Stranger's vague explanation:

I think if you pay attention to life and the way things are, that you, you come out pretty jaded by, you know, life. Or things aren't the way they should be. I think Anti Hero is a reflection of that. I think Julian's own twisted take on things has been, like I said, there's no expectation—we just skate, we fuck off, we have a good time. We go to trips sometimes and nothing happened. Or sometime we go on a trip and everything happens at once; you never know. And I think that that translates very much into John's way of life—whether it's hunting, fishing, or whatever, John's [Cardiel] an outdoorsman, and I think that, that hearty spirit of America translated very well with Julian's gritty grime of, like, the city slime, into making a really solid, "This is what it is to us." [22]

Longtime professional skateboarder Jeff Grosso, who grew up skateboarding with prominent figures such as Neil Blender and Lance Mountain, joined the company in early 2011 [23] and explained the process in an August 2013 interview: "I'll ask, I'll shoot at the mountaintop, and maybe I'll land at base camp. Once I got the courage to call them up, or whatever, and then they were like, 'Well, we have to vote.', or whatever, 'cause they run it like a gang ... So once I found out that they all, like, voted yes ... it was a proud moment." [24]

The company commenced 2014 with the addition of Grant Taylor to the team on January 1, releasing a promotional image that states: "Grant Taylor ... is in the van!" [25] A corresponding three-minute video was also released to acknowledge the recruitment, featuring the accompanying print advertisement that reads: "GRANTIHERO Grant Taylor ... Flys with the Eagle!" [26] Formerly a member of the Alien Workshop team, Taylor was the recipient of Thrasher's prestigious "Skater of the Year" award in 2011. [27]

"Beauty and the Beast" collaboration

AntiHero has worked on collaborative tours and subsequent videos with Girl Skateboards, entitled "Beauty and the Beast" (parts, 1, 2, and 3). Highly regarded professional skateboarder Mike Carroll, who is also a part owner in the Girl company, has named Stranger as one of his two key influences—the other is former Blind team rider, actor, and co-owner of Stereo, Jason Lee. [28]

Team

AntiHero's team consists of Julien Stranger, Grant Taylor, John Cardiel, Frank Gerwer, Tony "T-Mo" Miorana, Albino, Tony Trujillo, Peter Hewitt, Raney Beres, Ryan "Peabody" McWhittier, Pat "Patlanta" McClain, Errol, Sean "the Gut" Gutierrez & Byron "Fatty" Ortega, Robbie Russo, Austin Kanfoush, Div Adams, Daan Van Der Linden, Chris Pfanner, and Brian Anderson. [29]

Jeff Grosso was also a signature member of AntiHero's team prior to his death in 2020.

[36] [37]

[47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57]

Venture

On June 20, 2011, a press release announced the distribution of the Venture skateboard truck brand by Deluxe, following a transition from the now-defunct Streetcorner Distribution company. Venture trucks are manufactured in the United States and sponsors a team of professional skateboarders. In November 2012, Plan B rider Felipe Gustavo was added to the Venture team and the company produced a truck dedicated to Gustavo's father, a longtime supporter of his son's skateboarding. [58] Blind Skateboards' professional skateboarder, Kevin Romar, released a signature model truck, entitled the "Cypress V-Light", in January 2013 and an accompanying promotional video was also published, in which Romar performs a series of switch-stance (opposite to his natural stance on a skateboard) tricks. [59]

As of fall/autumn 2013, sponsored riders include Jack Curtin, Stefan Janoski, Gino Ianucci, Torey Pudwill, Stevie Williams, Terry Kennedy, Rodrigo Teixera ("TX"), Morgan Smith, Felipe Gustavo, Keelan Dadd, Kevin Romar, Sewa Kroetkov, Michael Bowen, and Paul Rodriguez. [60] [61] [62] [63] [64] [65]
