Raw, unfiltered Deathwish boards and gear from skateboarding's most unapologetic and aggressive brand.
Founded in 2008 by Erik Ellington and Jim Greco after their departure from Baker, Deathwish emerged as skateboarding's answer to the question nobody asked but everybody needed – what happens when you remove even the slightest filter from a skate brand? The result is one of skateboarding's most authentic and uncompromising entities, with graphics and videos that reflect the gritty, often chaotic reality of street skating in its purest form. Their team roster reads like a lineup of skateboarding's most fearless terrain destroyers – from original members like Lizard King and Antwuan Dixon to current heavyweights like Jamie Foy and Pedro Delfino – riders who approach every spot with the same reckless abandon that defines the brand itself. Their video contributions, from "Deathwish Part One" to the groundbreaking "Uncrossed," showcase skating at its most savage and technically progressive. Their board construction features responsive pop and reliable consistency that serious skaters demand, with medium concaves and practical shapes designed for daily destruction. Deathwish represents skateboarding without pretense – direct, honest, and completely detached from industry trends or mainstream approval. This isn't a brand for image-conscious park rats – it's for skaters willing to bleed for clips and approach every session with the intensity that Virginia's gnarliest spots demand.
