Selling Skateboarding: The Best Skate Ads Of All Time

[@ShredzShop]

What's your favorite skate ad of all time? Both magazine & video ad?! Follow us on Instagram @shredzshop @leviswitzer

[@pressureflipin1992]

World Industries, "the double dip, skateboarding will never be the same" Showcasing the first true double kick board ever. question tho? Does anybody know what board that is in the ad? It's definitely not a Mike Vallely barn yard.

[@zepar221]

Jason Lee "Will Skate for Food". Blind.

[@deviant4life25]

Levi low-key looks like a Justin Beiber Halloween Costume

[@alexanderferus7816]

I'm indifferent to him and his music because his music sucks!!

[@mvotrain]

The Hubba Wheel ads haha

[@pressureflipin1992]

Yes sir! Turned a lot of boys to men! 😅😅😅

[@francismorganstern6455]

Back in the 70s Mike Weed pro skater came out with an ad said my weed is legal him holding his wheel up in thE background was a cop to this day that ad is still in my head ? Ya I'm old it in Skateboarder magazine

[@MrBojopa]

I always thought that the Toy Machine ads were the best. All of the subtle details in every ad kept me looking at them for so long.

[@subieracer005]

That Plan B ad blew all of my friends minds back in the day. So many guesses and rumors oh who was leaving and who was staying.... classic!

[@ShredzShop]

Crazy Tony Hawk is on the list, people were tripping I'm sure

[@juvedoo99]

Justin Long and Kenny Anderson look exactly the same lol. I just realized that.

One of my favorite ads Is the Tony Hawk got milk add with his half pipe and glass of milk

[@ShredzShop]

That's a good one! I remember him getting clowned for it back in the day, now people have wayyyyy crazier sponsors.

[@jameskastner1425]

Best skate channel on KZbin! I'm so happy I found them and they make me wanna skate everyday even at 39

[@ShredzShop]

🙏glad you enjoy! Stoked these get you pumped to skate!! 🙌

[@powk3444]

"the way we treat skateboarders ad" is legit one of the best n most creative commercials ever..shits lit

[@ShredzShop]

So well done haha Its tough to pull off those kinda ads and not make em cheesy

[@TheReal_DeanD]

Great list here. The shorty’s ad campaign with Rosa was my favorite for all the wrong reasons but that Nike ad campaign was brilliant.

[@bennyshambles]

The Blind Dear George ad was in reaction to the Powell ad with Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, and Ray Barbee satirically representing small, skater-owned companies called Scum Skates, Bad Person, and I forget the other fake brand. That’s the one that pissed off Rocco.

[@joseph_gonzo-fugonzales4366]

Been waiting for this one, let's gooooo

[@ShredzShop]

Hope you enjoyed!!

[@ashleybrown4754]

Definitely want to see the worst ads now. 2 Fish would be a good start.

[@ShredzShop]

haha that'd make an interesting episode.

[@tylerida273]

If they have a Darkstar board laying around at Zumiez I honestly applaud them.

[@themisfitsman77]

Fun fact. It was Bam that did the kickflip in the Nike video. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@microchrist6122]

Palace wasn’t sarcastic though, they literally wanted to infiltrate the supermodel , Lux, upper class lifestyle…

[@markfitzurka9995]

You got all the ones I can remember. I never looked back at adds but if i did you got them all.

[@sidezskateshop1556]

Shortys add w the bearings in the… you know 😎

[@ShredzShop]

The ol' Quickies ad! Banned from so many magazines! haha If you find a copy of it, it definitely is not from a TWS lets just say that... 😆

What would be a good local skate shop for Edmonton ?

[@ShredzShop]

Edmonton has lots of great shops! Rumour, Ninetimes, Boardom, Local 124, Easy Rider, Source & more. Speaking of great skate ads, Rumour did a pretty funny little skit called "Back to the School Sale" that's a back to the future spoof. Check it on their IG.

[@jasontoshach6949]

There used to be a ton of great ones. Plush, Famous, FS, Ed’s, that have all disappeared. But Rumour and Easy Rider are still good along with the ones he listed above

[@ShredzShop]

@@jasontoshach6949 I think locals are one of those things where you get in where you fit in! Every shop has a different personality and Im sure you'll find one you love!

I wish I could get my hands on the skull and banana board or I wish some day mark could redraw the board for Krooked

[@tomjuhasz326]

Still remember the World ad that was a full page comic in Big Brother that told the story from the devil's point of view how he got kicked outta heaven. Also World with the I sold my soul and all I got was this lousy T-shirt ad where you send in $6.66 and a photo for soul verification.

[@ShredzShop]

they did some crazy stuff back in the day haha

The grind king ad from 1999. it said something along the lines of, this isnt the only thing youll be gridning this summer and it was a picture of a womans vag 😅😅, that ad got me laid cause i showed it to my neighbor and she said...well...i guess they're right and i was confused for a second 😅😅 afterwards, i was not. We banglaged the whole summer

What happen to Tommy Honk?

[@mattimaranda9638]

I liked Consolidated ads. They spent all their money saying "Nike = bad" instead of running a dope skateboarding company.

[@pressureflipin1992]

Fucking hilarious considering how many guys on consolidated over the years rode for Nike.

[@mattimaranda9638]

@@pressureflipin1992 Oh yea, that too!!! Haha

[@alexanderferus7816]

I agree with this

[@ghost_7336]

Have you thought about getting Satan's Drano to sponsor the comment of the week?

[@ariekanibalie]

Forget which bearing brand this was for, so maybe not the most effective ad ever, but it featured one spread with a pile of shit and a pile of gold, and the text: 'If you're smart enough to know the difference between this' and then on the following page: 'then you're smart enough to know the difference between this' with a bunch of no-name brand bearings and the ones advertised. For the rest, the whole cottage industry around 'pro skateboarding', the contests and media and what not that make skateboarding seem like this monumental endeavour, rather than a fun way to waste time with friends on a wooden toy, is probably the 'best' ad in terms of hooking potential customers.

[@NYRAD02]

Hell yeah amazing episode as always guys! Much Love ❤️🙏🏻🇿🇦 and a update on my post about my medical update , im awaiting a CT SCAN to check for brain tumors, epilepsy has been ruled out 🙏🏻❤️🇿🇦🛹

[@shitbox_diaries8689]

Like how you guys completely left out the rollerblading part of the wknd ad, in true hater form. 👍

[@jimizxztheorginal]

Im not liking this because its currently at 666 and i dont wanna be that guy who ruined it...

[@KM-bl3vy]

Nike from what I remember, wasn’t a failure because of the inferior shoe design, it was because most skaters at that time had brand loyalty to skate companies not corporations. The quality of skate shoes in the late 90’s to mid 2000’s was excellent with a ton of variety.
