Flip Skateboards is a skateboard company that was founded in 1991 by professional skateboarders Geoff Rowley and Jeremy Fox. Here is a brief history of Flip Skateboards:
In the early 1990s, Rowley and Fox were both riding for the skateboard company Deathbox. They decided to start their own company after Deathbox went out of business.
The name "Flip" comes from the idea of flipping the skateboard deck while performing tricks. The company's logo is a stylized version of a flip trick.
In the early days of the company, Flip Skateboards was known for its innovative skateboard designs and graphics. Many of the company's skateboard decks featured bold and colorful graphics, often created by famous artists.
In 1995, Flip Skateboards was acquired by the skateboard company NHS, which also owns other skateboard brands like Santa Cruz and Independent.
Over the years, Flip Skateboards has sponsored some of the most talented skateboarders in the world, including Geoff Rowley, Tom Penny, Arto Saari, David Gonzalez, and Luan Oliveira.
Flip Skateboards has also released several popular skateboarding videos, including "Sorry" (2002) and "Extremely Sorry" (2009).
In 2018, Flip Skateboards celebrated its 25th anniversary with the release of a special edition skateboard deck and a video featuring the company's team of professional skateboarders.
Today, Flip Skateboards remains a popular and influential skateboard company with a rich history of innovation and creativity in skateboarding.
