Adio died when the housing/stock market crashed in 2008. K2 Corp laid everyone off and sold the Adio name to Payless Shoes in the next few years. Planet Earth Clothing also ceased to exist. A LOT of the companies in this video didn't survive that market crash because a lot of skate shops also went under.

[@smurxxx0910]

I remember there being a store in my hometown called Planet Earth that sold og electronics, pinball machines, video games, instruments, and some clothes. I don't think they had anything to do with the Planet Earth skate company but they were open through the mid 80s to early 90s. It was a pretty epic store for its time.

Bro I stopped skating in ‘06… what’s surprised me is that people used to skate thinner board (7.5 - 7.75) but nowadays it seems like every skates (8-8.5) and I don’t know why but my guess is because the treflip became such a staple compared to double flips…. My other guess is Bams board were the only board back then which were so wide, and so many kids had those boards that it changed thing.

[@spek-27]

Wow...ATM, Planet Earth, Consolidated, and Maple were staples of the CCS catalog back in the 90's. One of my favorite boards was a Planet Earth slick deck back in '94.

[@skateboston420]

I got my first CCS mag in like 1996, remember when it was just called California Cheap Skates. The abbreviation came in like 1997-98. I generally skated around since the early 90s but I def missed those dope mid 90s years between 1993-95 but the era from 1996-2001 was an awesome time for skateboarding and underground hip-hop, alt rock died in 1997. I was there for the music from 1993-1994 though, such a better time to have been alive back then 👍.

[@spek-27]

@@skateboston420 I still have a couple old California Cheap Skates catalogs from 93 / 94. I was already skating for a few years before that, but that was when I started ordering from skate catalogs.

@@ShredzShop yeah those were the trucks that tried to market themselves as no-slip axles. which was a pain in the late 90's early 2000's. So they put a pin through the center of the axle, so that's why if you look at pics of old titan trucks that have that dot in the middle of the hanger. Only problem was the axles would snap in the middle because of the hole for the pin.

Thats a team player right there... 👊

[@Drthumper420]

Hubba wheels brought me backkkkk i remember the ads in the back of thrasher, that shit blew my mind as a kid LMAO

[@lane2376]

I picked skating back up after a few years, and when I went to get a new board, I was pretty devastated that Phantom 2s didn't exist anymore. I could never find another truck company that felt the way they did. I rode my original pair for 7 years.

[@damon5899]

holy shit! that’s a brand name i never thought id recognize but my first skateboard had phantom 2 trucks. Hava

[@Zynxster]

[@markbaugh6083]

I was on the Motobilt team and kryptonics back in 80’s… 1980’s and 90’s! Motobilt still around? Miss my boys from the old days: Guy Mariano, Gabe,… other guys from Pablo Diaz, Rudy etc, etc. My weekend homies and the old days of Rene’s Skate Shop. Good times in my life! Thanks for the video.

[@rigamortis5882]

thanks for mentioning POPWAR, i had one of their decks in the mid 2000's. Loved it

[@RaNdOmSTuFF479]

Cool vid guys. Loved the topic as usual 👏

[@MixPBZ]

Autobahn wheels tho!! Also, speed metal bearings. I remeber having the bam ones & those were my favorite of all time. Fire video, dude.

[@Johnnyversetti1]

Monster trucks, phantom trucks, 4 star, hubba (there ads were the best!) expedition all from that era

[@iamupinacloud]

"Wrap it up!" hah! Man, this video gave me some nostalgic vibes. I remember seeing many of these brands' ads in some 411VM VHS tapes from the 90s. Good times. There was one brand of skate shoe I bought back in the day called Axion.. I think.. They were alright but i guess they just couldn't compete against the bigger brands. Always support local shops and good video Shredz!

[@tjgonzwest]

Love what you guys do never stop! Random bolts and Soaps in middle school yes brother haha! Shoutout to MADA clothing and Web Trucks!

[@jasontaylor5188]

I cant remember, but mid/late 90's i was looking at a ccs mag and there was a bearing company that was blue. What was the name? Angels?

[@dogtown1ewok]

I built my first skateboard using parts generously donated by several friends. They took pity on me because I had a garbage Walmart skateboard. The build included a Girl deck, World Industries trucks, Black Panther bearings, Jason Dill Alien Workshop wheels and Pig risers. As I spent a lot of time on the deteriorating board, one day my dad surprised me with a Chris Cole Zero deck featuring George Bush artwork, paired with Black Kreper trucks.

[@tmangler7812]

I want ZORLAC to come back..my favorite boards were the Craig Johnson and Devil Fish models...sick decks from the 80s Texas huge ramp days

[@ShredzShop]

Zorlac was great, some of the best graphics and brand image of all time.

[@RougeMaster]

Hey man any skatevideos on the web from 16 skateboards??

[@calebscalzo]

A company I wish would come back is Instrument Skateboards. It was a smaller sized Cincinnati based company ran by Gary Collins. They had so many rippers on their team at one point, and it was Cyril Jackson’s first sponsor before he ended up on Baker. The graphics were so sleek and the concave was great. Here’s Cyril’s part from their video called “Can’t Stop The Shine” circa 2010 kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6fGXn53aKylbKssi=nDNPxNfVA1ItAusX Also, I miss expedition one and organika as well. Kayo really dropped all their brands other than DGK. Sad because Gold wheels were solid too.

[@brassteeth3355]

Jeff Phillips rode for G&S. He was a well loved guy down here in Texas. There was the Jeff Phillips park in Dallas. Back then skate parks were rare things. Phillips life ended tragically.

[@bob8776]

Crazy how that dude Many More was on every one of these teams. That guy really got around the industry

[@caveymon]

Oh man, I really miss my popwar drops technical Kenny Reed pro deck. Hope the geezer who nicked it/picked it up from the train has a good time on it. Thank you for mentioning that brand :D

[@TheVolcominater]

Flip Skateboards, Think Skateboards, Grind Kind Trucks, New Deal Skateboards, Tum Yeto. Just a few brands off the top of my head from my day

[@genoroberts8918]

I'd love to know story of phantom trucks and why they died off. Phantom units were solid and phantom 2s were lighter and smooth to grind rails but weren't built as strong and would break sometimes between the bushings but they were cheap so replacing one wasn't bad on the rare occasion one would break. Love this channel and all the content about brands I used to skate back in the day!

[@Drakemiser]

Nicotine wheels. One of the dopest adds was Pepe Martinez doing a kick flip on a bank. Just a kick flip, but dude had such a nice, east coast, pop-everything-high-and-smooth style. Nicotine Wheels… with the Newport logo.

[@jon5one7]

My buddy still rocking his randoms to this day. monster trucks man, trainwreck was gnarly.

[@ShredzShop]

Love those old Monster Trainwreck ads!

[@jon5one7]

@@ShredzShop that transworld part was fucked up. Ripping to slayer like a true heshman.

[@KT-Buf69]

Randoms are only useful until you realize you can snug the bolt as tight as you want with Phillips head by finishing by using the nut driver. Stabilize with Phillips. Rotate the wrench. You don't need much effort and you can tighten the bolt halfway through the deck if your little heart desires. Tools

[@eck4324]

Adio, Ezekiel, phantom, monster, bootleg, citystar, the firm. These were all a part of my adolescence, I was surprised to know that the other 43 I had never actually even heard of tho.

[@raddastronaut]

Got my last pair of simples in 2009. And they just disappeared from my moms house around 2016. Killin me. Best shoes, at least the OGs are back. So you should still support them.

[@JoshD666]

Bring back randoms! Still rocking mine after close to 15 years!

[@dylanherron3963]

Gotta say brother, great list. Didn't know so many CCS catalog staples went the way of vapor. Honorable mentions: DECA, and Lib Technologies. I still have the Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song (1) VHS tape with ads for those deck companies. Man, Shiloh Greathouse.
