FLIP SKATEBOARDS: 14 Things You Didn't Know about Flip Skateboards

Learn more about skateboard icon Flip Skateboards!

With beginnings in the UK as Deathbox skateboards under Jeremy Fox, the brand quickly grew an iconic team with the likes of Geoff Rowley, Tom Penny, and Rune Glifberg. Releasing Spirit of the Blitz in the 1990's, the brand put a stamp on the Uk skateboarding scene.

Migrating to the US, Fox changed the name of the brand to Flip skateboards, announcing the change in the early film Long Overdue. The brand quickly grew in popularity, releasing iconic films such as Sorry (with appearances from Jonny Rotten of the Sex Pistols), Really Sorry, and Extremely Sorry. In later years, Flip continued to add strong members to the team, such as Ali Boulala and Shane Cross; unfortunately, Shane was killed in a drunk driving accident, when he and Ali crashed on a moped during a tour in Australia. Just recently, Flip released The Weight of the World, featuring a new and upcoming team of riders.

Flip's logo is recognizable anywhere, and their collaboration with Cheech and Chong for Tom Penny's pro model can be easily recognized as their best seller.

Now, bolstering a team with the likes of curren caples, ben nordberg, bob burnquist, david gonzalez, lance mountain, luan oliviera, louie lopez, and tom penny, Flip still continues to be an iconic brand today.
