So Skull Skates is back in the USA! The major press release went out yesterday and they are still Canadian owned by P.D. Blitz is gonna distribute the U.S. line of 8 shapes. Bill Danforth is the brand manager for the project. Skull will continue to be made in Canada. So its the same high quality product with the same philosophy. But because they are going through Blitz, the price will come down (no more exchange rate and import fees) So in the next months, Skull stuff will hopefully be available at core shops and you won't have to pay 100 bucks for a deck.... Super cool stuff!!
Excerpt from the original press release:
2009
Skull Skates is back in the USSA, with its second coordinated attack, in cooperation with Blitz Distribution and Bill Danforth, offering limited core Skull dealerships.
Skull Skates was built on simplicity and integrity through dedication to structural and design quality combined with a stark and cohesive jet black, dead white visual esthetic. The original black and white skate brand since 1978, Skull has seen many imitators with zero imagination, but none that stands beside the true ideal of function before fashion. [PD: are you open to change the word "zero" to "little"?]
With deck models made in Canada from hard rock Canadian maple, Skull Skates stands committed to its lineage - here to take skateboarding back from the kooks and chiselers.
