History Of Plan B Skateboards
In 1991 some of the best pros at the time wanted to start something totally new, something that nobody had ever seen before! They called it Plan B Skateboards! Mike Tenasky was the leader and manager of Plan B. He got some of the best pros at the time (and are still some of the best skaters today) including Danny Way, Matt Hensley, Mike Carroll, Sean Scheffey, and Rick Howard to skate for Plan B.
Plan B Skateboards took over the skateboarding world by storm with their awesome videos, their amazing boards, and other products. They also added Pat Duffy, Colin Mckay, Sal Barbier, Ronnie Bertino, and Jeremy Wray in the early 90's.
In 1994 tragedy struck Plan B skateboards, when Mike Tenasky was killed in a tragic car accident. Plan B Skateboards was then left in the hands of Danny Way and Colin Mckay. Plan B Skateboards eventually died out.
In 2005 with some help from Syndrome Distribution, Plan B skateboards was reborn! The new Plan B team included Danny Way, Colin Mckay, Paul Rodriguez, Ryan Gallant, PJ Ladd, Brian Wenning, Jereme Rogers, and in January 2007 Ryan Sheckler. Plan B has also recently added Torey Pudwill to their all ready amazing line up of pro skaters. Plan B Skateboards is once again the best in the business!
