Skateboarding's 50 Strangest Sponsorships

[@themisfitsman77]

Bam’s riteguard commericals were OG. Plus as a skater pit stick is a must have!!

[@Alskie666]

TBH Levi you also look like you don't own a car. Maybe like a unicycle or one of those things they call hoverboards but aren't really hoverboards.

[@leviswitzer]

😂😂😂 tru. Those hoverboards are sick

[@ShredzShop]

Levi actually rides around Calgary on a electric skateboard, full leathers, and a dirt bike helmet...

[@snaleman6999]

Im saying rollerbladezwithaz

[@nelsonwilbury6162]

Just found this page during the Olympics. I love it. I skated for like 6 months about 2000 years ago but I can’t get enough of these videos. Thanks for making them. I’m learning a lot! Great work!

[@sidezskateshop1556]

I know a few dudes that had cocaine sponsorships , dealer would get almost the whole damn product box for the month. Also ever notice the tread pattern on the bottom of DCs… explains a lot.

[@markfitzurka9995]

A practical sponsor for every day life would a bank, real-estate, an airline, air B&B, a hotel, and some big box store (Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Costco), . But honestly I would love to have that Red Bull sponsorship. With a little Sherdz shop patch under the bill 😜 thats the true dream sponsor. By Christmas 100 thousand followers I could only dream to have spicy sponsor like that. I always loved how the redbull helmet look. don’t have much use for one and if I did have one I would definitely be considered a poser. Another great video guys thanks for bringing a smile to my face week after week. My weekly dose of Canadians, however its more than weekly now with all the snow birds down hear for the winter.

[@rohancowley6130]

Off topic but on topic. When I was swimming competitively all the “good” swimmers around me would wear power bands but on each wrist and ankles even. Was insane! Didn’t know they had a skate team.

[@Peasant_in_a_tree]

Dude, thats cause they really work! They unlock a part of your brain, on a molecular level, that in turn directly injects shakra juice derivatives into your bloodstream, at a rate of 30 nanograms a millisecond. Nothing but raw fury in natural form. Its proven time and again, that real champions use power balance.

[@Laynenelson320]

Yep same with hockey, and them phyten necklaces…

[@ssjcj4081]

i love this channel 😭🔥

[@ShredzShop]

🙏 thanks for watching!!

[@darche8]

Levi wearing that new Jacuzzi stallion hoodie. Also SkyBrown had a car commercial, believe it was Subaru.

[@sandhanitizer15]

Bro i finally realized who you remind me of. Ethan Suplee, the dude who played Jason Lee's brother on My Name Is Earl.

[@MrDocSeus]

Tony has the same deal with Chipotle, where he has the special card. Steve-O had the same one but lost it because he abused it lol. Heard this on the Wild Ride.

[@ShredzShop]

haha sick! Remember the episode? I wanna listen.

[@fixinah]

Most badass sponsorship was a swedish skater named Elvis Löwdin. He was officially sponsored by Hells Angels. I was at contest and couldn't believe my ears. Look it up. Rip Elvis.

[@ShredzShop]

thats insane! gotta find this info! Any links to parts or interviews?!

[@fixinah]

@@ShredzShop I think it's mostly in Swedish but Google translate might be able to to help. Short version if I remember correctly Elvis just basically contacted his local chapter, got the word rolling, got a interview with Sonny Barger who approved him as an official rider for the Hells Angels skate team. Hadn't been anyone before or since.

[@grimcity]

Paradox, LMAOOOOO! That company/owner used to be my arch nemesis for spreading that Power Balance scam, both on Slap and here on YT! I even mentioned that fool in a Jenkem interview. That alone makes this list legit, haha. Have a great one, fam. Edit: triple bonus points for mentioning Doug Brown, Professional Skateboarder™

[@ShredzShop]

hahaha I remember the SLAP threads with him!

[@grimcity]

@@ShredzShop - yeah... he's a special character, lmao

[@Retro-2-now]

Bam did a deodorant commercial with Don Vito…

[@ShredzShop]

haha gotta find it

[@Retro-2-now]

@@ShredzShop it was for Right Guard

[@ShredzShop]

What is your dream non-skate sponsors?! Also, what is the craziest sponsorship you've ever seen?

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

Rolex 😂

[@jimrustle]

Whole foods Trader joes Some supplement brands

[@grimcity]

My first sponsor was a Louisiana-based Tex-Mex restaurant chain called "Cuco's Border Cafe." 1996: I was a very broke college kid that waited tables, and there was a two-day long contest in Baton Rouge that I wanted to enter (a street park contest, then a ramp contest the next day). My restaurant manager not only paid my way, but also had me "clocked in" for a shift since he said I was literally representing the place. I wore my corny restaurant shirt proudly! It was rad... a local bike shop heard about it days later, they hired me to do board orders and sales and became my first shop sponsor.

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

In the US, being sponsored by a hospital would make sense. "You do your skating,we got you covered".

[@ilikelittlebikes]

Aflak, a dispensary, Wegman's

[@christopherhannegan3467]

YO, was that GREG LUTZKA driving the golf cart in the double pits to chesty commercial?!?!

[@Lunaticcringe91]

Love your guys shit and all the other beautiful random stuff that comes out of skateboarding. Never change Shredz. Much love.

[@powerrod1657]

Shredz shop would be the dream sponsorship 🎉

[@2saddads]

Bam did Righguard deodorant commercials

[@GlixDesigns]

Neen williams had a bowl with chipotle too!!

[@subieracer005]

[@Chu-chu_Nezumi]

[@DTC1138]

I'm heading to the skatepark right now so one day Levi's skate shop will sponsor me.

[@ShredzShop]

Shredz, Baker, and Bush's Baked Beans...

[@himebaughchris4026]

Might have to add Cinnamon Toast Crunch to this list. 😁

[@aidandouglas6341]

I know a guy who did an advert for bifi salami sticks 😂

[@rew-vmDOTcom]

Arto was also sponsored by Amex. Tony Trujillo was sponsored by Tylenol too. Those two random sponsors have also stood out to me

[@erock736]

Levi’s due for another fart into the mike moment. It’s been a while.

[@alanalso]

Would love a scooter or pogo review from Levi in an upcoming vid.

[@kolbysandor3732]

Nice pic of Andy mac rock and roll at sculpture

[@whoadudestop]

Just bought some sk8 his on your website, great deal!

[@ShredzShop]

[@JanoyCresva]

How you guys arent at 100k is crazy. GUys, make sure to hit the like button. This is top tier content.

[@ShredzShop]

🙏👊🙏

[@zacfabian3046]

Off topic, but I find it astonishing that Leo was out wearing a WV Mountaineer hat... That be where I'm from.. and as a father of 2 teenagers, the Target sponsorship would be pretty dope!!✌🏻

[@yikes6969]

hows krista doing

[@RobiticDuck]

Gotta get myself down to Calgary and visit the Shredz Shop!

[@ShredzShop]

Come throughhhhh!

[@ZACKMAN2007]

Just gotta watch out for traffic on the 1a

[@SixCatsStudio]

I really liked the recent skateboard collaboration with Palace & McDonalds. I got 2 of there decks & a shirt.

[@keystunts333]

[@skating_at_40]

Shawn White also had that Target contract. and Sheckler also had Boston Market.

[@ShredzShop]

Boston market is also dope haha

[@The_Whiskey_Cart]

That Dorito’s commercial clip was insanely stupid (minus Hawk’s).

[@backlip1310]

kershaw knives chris cole. they made custom skate tool or something skate tool knife?

[@non_brewed_condiment]

I love that the second I saw the hat I knew who you were going to say

[@andrewdobosz3682]

How long before we see people wearing those Nascar jackets with all the different sponsors on them?

[@ShredzShop]

We're getting close, some of those Street Leaguers got t-shirt with multiple logos printed on em haha I heard some brands were paying over $10,000 for a logo on street league at one point, so skaters were getting PAID!

[@SergioRivera-kx4sh]

Theotis Beasley had a cookie sponsor, Jaws was sponsored by Kush Pops

[@yesthatjake5601]

Surprised you missed Leticia and Thee Thee's Trojan sponsorships!

[@ununseptium7961]

Roll that beautiful bean footage.

[@non_brewed_condiment]

I won't be impressed until I see someone sponsored by Oracle. Or maybe Gelncore, I guess that mining bag would also be pretty sick

[@stevenerminpour9865]

Petrobras was involved in a major political and economic scandal that basically tanked the Brazilian economy so super rad that Leticia is sponsored by them 👍

[@cablr9555]

What about Shaun White for Target?? Dude had his clothing brand thru them in stores

[@kevin71794]

Idk man a Chef Boyardi sponsor would be freaking dope

[@ShredzShop]

😂😂🙌

[@justin-y1z2w]

So dope!!! 👌🏻

[@user-eo5lz7nn1n]

bro i cannot stop on jagger being on chipotle

[@Magdalena8008s]

Dont care who the sponser is. If they are giving money to skaters, thats all that matters. Its up to the skater if they want to take the deal or not. Respect to those who dont. But respect to those who do. Simple as that.

[@ShredzShop]

🤝 🤝 🤝

[@skatertrev7]

I miss Ollie Pop! That was the coolest after a long session.

[@vtownjester]

Only Fans better start sponsoring Letícia ASAP!

[@chriscohen9559]

I want to see double pits to chestie at the next Street League.

[@Billiamkimber]

Candy warehouse sponsorship Also k-Swiss owns supra

[@jackiechopz]

Ya everyone says they’re sell outs for there corporate overlords and I say keep on selling out

[@rutlandcitybikes9729]

[@cosmicfreeway]

[@Tryingtogetradical]

Nice, a Dewey Cox clip

[@ShredzShop]

It aint Cox unless it tastes like Cox!!

[@j-mac7401]

Give me that Bunny Ranch spo. ship all day!!

[@jessejamesb]

I'd be down af for a clif bar sponsor. I actually like them and they're not cheap. Any food that I like really. Yoo get me a Lindt chocolate sponsor. I try to each dark chocolate a bit each day and that shit ain't cheap either. Or Athletic greens, yaaaaaa , but they're more likely to sponsor a youtube channel - Hit 'em up.

[@ShredzShop]

haha true! One day we'll hopefully sell out and get an Athletic Greens deal 😆 😝

[@samuraikaoss1455]

Wait, I rock Grind King Rims. Are you saying I'm not that baller?

[@ShredzShop]

[@alexrekzu4079]

[@subieracer005]

Can't really hate.. i mean you gotta get your bag... but I don't think AndyMac ever said no to anyone.. Get yours while you can.. cause once you gone.. you gone...

[@ShredzShop]

Him having an Amazon sponsorship is insane no matter who you are!

[@subieracer005]

[@blaiseanddestroy]

My dream sponsor is Shredz Shop bro

[@brennhannon609]

Both Bob Burnquist and Ronnie Gomes were sponsored by BDO US, which is a tax accounting company. Skaters pay tax too, so I guess it makes sense! Haha

[@RooftopRossi]

What about Bam and Rob….

[@jamesm28]

I'm interested in this but the crunchy repetitive sound in the music is too annoying for me to keep watching

[@Drghoulie]

I would want to be sponsored by stone brewing company.

[@anthonywandowicz8084]

U forgot to talk shit on all the skateboard figure skaters who lost the ability to take off the red bull hat.

[@ShredzShop]

If I was bald, I'd go for the corporate drink sponsor...

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Red Vines rule

[@eliceocortes3607]

Tony Hawk can eat at any McDonald's but yet you guys use a picture of him at Taco Bell. Fail.

[@diplenski]

‘Toilet bowl white’ teeth don’t look good or remotely natural. It’s jarring to see, and it’s a bit uncanny/off putting. If you’re planning on getting false teeth, go for a natural shade. and if possible, get them matched to your real teeth shape. Getting perfectly straight teeth if you didn’t have them before makes you look like a different person, which I guess could be good or bad depending on your desired outcome.
