Some skaters just own certain tricks. When I see a front side flip, I think of Reynolds. A heel flip, I think of Lindsey Robertson, a back side 360 kick flip, I think of Chris Cole. But whenever I see a skater do an impossible in a video part, I think of Dylan... RIP
Hell yeah. RIP Dylan man. I bought his white dipped “class photo” deck before I even knew who he was. The deck just said something to me, and I grabbed it from my shop. Kept it in the shrink wrap, went home and I watched everything I could about DR. One of the most important skaters of all time. If Dylan was still alive he’d be the face of skateboarding rn. It sucks he’s not here anymore.
The embossing on FA decks I absolutely love. I don't think I've seen other board makers rip that off. Great seeing how the production quality of these videos has evolved.
Idk about this video recommendation, i’d be hard since they’re kinda of a mystery, But 14 things you didn’t know about Mystery Skateboards would be dope
No one ever mentions the F.A Etnies shoe from 2008. I remember seeing some mall chain surf shop with like full size etnies fucking awesome ads across all the front windows, top to bottom. They were just black and white shots of the shoes and maybe dill with the etnies and fa logos.
The reason I changed riding from chocolate boards to hockey is the shape of the board...I need that "shovel" nose on my boards.. Only bad thing is that they are expensive af and that's not fa at all..😄
@@timonuotio6395 They still make the shovelnose shape and then they added a more regular shape (similar to an Anti Hero) just to give people some options!
Still skating my Sean Pablo class photo deck from yeaars ago. By far my most favorite board that I stopped skating a new Elijah Berle classphoto just because of the shape of that board. FA x Supreme 4 life!
It was made by @adrianmartinus check them out on Instagram. They do amazing stuff. made a table for the Adidas store in LA, and made a recycled skateboard bowl for AVE.
Quick little secret if you have one of the negative invert FA boards if you change your phone to invert negative you can see the color its supposed to be.
FA is interesting for a few reasons. At the start, only core skate shops who already had other offensive decks on the walls would stock them. Surf/skate shops were too scared of self righteous mothers to go near the brand. Secondly, the true driver of success is quality and pop of the US produced wood ( by the legendary PS STIX ) and kids who had previously rode Chinese produced boards immediately positively noticed the difference. The cult nature of FA and later, Palace meant hipster non skaters were coming into core shops and paying top dollar for a tshirt and helping to pay the rent, which helps skaters in general. Respect from Australia
Anybody know what the board/graphic on the wall between the red Hockey and orange Zero boards is? Looks kinda like Picasso's Don Quixote sketch. Also, good vid. But how can you not mention my fave FA skater, Randy Farkus??
The name hockey always bothered me growing up us skaters always hated hockey players, which is prob the irony in regards to their sense of humour it was prob just their way of giving the finger to the jocks. Who knows.
Thanks shreds, I didn't know anything about hockey skateboards except that they make incredibly overpriced Dick's which are the same quality as mini logo, but cost more than Powell Peralta flight Deck
@@ShredzShop yeah that’s something between them & the public will never know. Too bad the og 917 team all left because limosine/FA/Supreme are killing it
I really like the shape of Hockey decks. They have nice huge shovel noses and steep kicks. However, FA is kind of lame, or at least the whole connection to Supreme. Supreme is like the most superficial, overly expensive, meaningless dogshit commodity. I feel hollow inside buying anything even remotely connected to Supreme.
Craziest thing about F.A is if YE were to become a hitler president all the footage of him saying stuff about jews was while he was wearing a F.A hat. Imagine if Hitler had drip like that hahha.
Surprised you didn’t mention that Donovan Piscopo and john were easily added to Hockey because they were also apart of the AWS movement. I guess thats one thing You didn’t know lol.
got my second dyan bag, 2 Gs in just those bags. should have kept the class photo boards but gave them to my friend's kids. love the turquoise paint the terp left at the park, should have keep it
Dylan Forever ❤
you prolly didnt even know him dork 😂
I didn't but he was so dope I bought his board at 43 to skate with my 15yo son. 💪🙏
Some skaters just own certain tricks. When I see a front side flip, I think of Reynolds. A heel flip, I think of Lindsey Robertson, a back side 360 kick flip, I think of Chris Cole. But whenever I see a skater do an impossible in a video part, I think of Dylan... RIP
Lindsey's heelflip sucked.
He definitely made the impossible trendy again!
duuuuuude, the lindsey robertson drop is awesome!! some lean towards neen (totally get it), but so many people forget about robertson i feel like.
Hell yeah. RIP Dylan man. I bought his white dipped “class photo” deck before I even knew who he was. The deck just said something to me, and I grabbed it from my shop.

Could you do a 14 things you didn't know about Dime?
For sure, I'll add it to our list! 🙏
The embossing on FA decks I absolutely love. I don't think I've seen other board makers rip that off. Great seeing how the production quality of these videos has evolved.
It’s definitely been a signature of theirs. There’s definitely lots of brands doing embossed decks now, but no one does it as much as FA.
@@ShredzShop true
The embossing was a rip of the hex emboss on alien boards, no surprise considering most of f.a were riding them hex decks.
I don’t know if you guys have noticed but in the thps remasters the FA decks say just awesome as the rest is scratched off
Levi, one of the best vids yet! Such a deep dive.. Thanks man!
Thanks Ben!! Stoked you still watch the channel, you’re an OG! Hyped you enjoyed this episode!
Idk about this video recommendation, i’d be hard since they’re kinda of a mystery, But 14 things you didn’t know about Mystery Skateboards would be dope
That’d be a cool one, not really sure who owns them now.
@@ShredzShop Yeah, that got me wondering sometimes
I like the amount detailed information in this video. Nice one y'all!
Glad you enjoyed! 🙏👊
I've been skating for 24 years and these videos have taught me more history than anything else
Stoked to hear it! We love making em and digging up some skate history!
love that dude riding a horse FA deck in the background!
🔥 🔥 🔥
I loved alien workshop growing up because of dill, and those videos were doing stuff I hadn’t seen anywhere else
They were super unique and felt so different from everything else at the time. Maybe from being based outside of California?
I’m so happy that Dill is having so much success. He’s a good dude even though he has some issues. Plus Dill is a dope ass skater
Yeah his politics are shit…. But he’s a quack …. But I love him
Kevin Terp and I graduated HS the same year. He’s still incredible today when I get to skate with him.
Dude I’ve seen! I follow him on IG, been stoked to see him posting lots of clips lately.
This was the best one you’ve made. 🤙
Thank you!! Lots of work, stoked how it came out!! 🙌🙏
That chest tattoo looks fresh!!!
Best skateshop in Canada🔥. I completely snub my local skateshop for them all the time. Big ups from Ontario!
You guys are so imformitive! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed! 🙌🙏
Just got my last ever Tj & Nak board for Christmas since they left the team. Awesome video as always guys ❣️😁🙏😅💯🛹
Skating them or hanging the boards? Glad you enjoyed our vid!
@@ShredzShop I’m hanging them
I lived down the street from the fa store when I was going to college in Hollywood would stop by pretty often such a sick store
I love Hockey Board's. Best board I skated in my 20 year's. I look forward to setting up my FA board this week.
No one ever mentions the F.A Etnies shoe from 2008. I remember seeing some mall chain surf shop with like full size etnies fucking awesome ads across all the front windows, top to bottom. They were just black and white shots of the shoes and maybe dill with the etnies and fa logos.
i asked for this vid and it finally came out, thanks for that guys
Stoked! Hopefully you enjoyed!
Drawn on a napkin 😂 so original.
Forever love for FA. 💜
Ayy finally my request has been fulfilled!
🙌🙏 hope you enjoy! 👊
Video suggestion:
Best daredevil tricks of all time (1990s - early 2000's)
Haha that’d be a sweet one
The reason I changed riding from chocolate boards to hockey is the shape of the board...I need that "shovel" nose on my boards.. Only bad thing is that they are expensive af and that's not fa at all..😄
Haha yea they’re always a little more than every other brand. They have a very unique shape though! 🔥
@@ShredzShop The shape is what I love the most!!!
@@timonuotio6395 They still make the shovelnose shape and then they added a more regular shape (similar to an Anti Hero) just to give people some options!
Who's your favorite FA/Hockey rider of all time? What brand should we do next?!
Ben Kadow, and honestly I’d say Frankie Heck would fit the whole FA Hockey vibe
@@Kultactivities Ben K had my fav part in the new supreme vid.
Favorite of all time? Dylan
Dream rider? SPANKY
Gino iannucci FA, Joe Campos Hockey favorite riders. Marcello Campanello on FA, Bobby Puelo on Hockey.
Caleb or nik stain
Really nice vid! I love FA! Got way too much decks right here... :D
They’re rad! Stoked how this episode turned out! Glad you enjoyed! 🙏
You need to do an episode about Madness skateboards 🤩
Its on our list! 🙏

@@ShredzShop hell yea, i already am enjoying it
The pic at 2:37 was CRAZY 🤔
Still skating my Sean Pablo class photo deck from yeaars ago. By far my most favorite board that I stopped skating a new Elijah Berle classphoto just because of the shape of that board. FA x Supreme 4 life!

Jason Mewes is FA as FA!

Forever grateful for this beautiful brand man this is beyond skateboarding thanks for this video man keep ‘em coming 🤙🏼
Thank you
Thanks for watching!!

owwee who made that bat in the back?! it's fire!
It was made by @adrianmartinus check them out on Instagram. They do amazing stuff. made a table for the Adidas store in LA, and made a recycled skateboard bowl for AVE.
@@ShredzShop yuuuus adrian and martinus are the boooyz! that's awesome!
I did have an Adrian martinis one. This one was by Cyco Styx/Olive Skateboards
Great video, RIP Dylan
Great influences fashoo 👌🏽
Glad you enjoyed! 🙌🙏
Could’ve titled this “The entire history of FA”
Best one yet
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌🔥👊
I love the skaters and the style that they sign… Ben Kadow is my fav
Only a couple left and I’m all caught up
Quick little secret if you have one of the negative invert FA boards if you change your phone to invert negative you can see the color its supposed to be.

🤯 that’s dope!
still have the first two yellow boards from the first drop sealed in a box in my closet. prized possessions
Damn, thats awesome! I have a few early drop boards in my collection!
DYLAN FOREVER ♥️
Aves are cursed for me-- always roll my ankle everytime I wear them to skate
Damn! That blows! Haven’t had problems in mine, but every product works different for different people
Big up FA Hollywood store. Love to people that work there

Respect from Australia
I though ps stix was Mexican wood.
@@Capitan_Chaos At the start FA was made in USA it was stamped on their boards. PS STIX has two manufacturing sites, one in Mexico too so yes
Dill is looking like John Waters more and more every time I see him
ohhhhhh heck ya bahd!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Anybody know what the board/graphic on the wall between the red Hockey and orange Zero boards is? Looks kinda like Picasso's Don Quixote sketch.
Also, good vid. But how can you not mention my fave FA skater, Randy Farkus??
Shout out to Levi 🤙
TJ SOTY🎉!
Dill in minefield was so good
the sw 180 Manny bs 360 is one of my fav clips. I've tried that trick so many times.
Another interesting fact. Dill's great grandfather is the inventor of the dill pickle.
Man I'm waiting for Fallen
Yeah those AVE’s are dope.
Such a crazy sole. I really loved skating mine.

All injured but still trying to get on 🙏

Kinda wondering when and how Andrew Allen came into the picture at Hockey.
Miss old FA :/ FA was the shit back in 2014 smh
These videos are sick
The only thing I don't know is why they don't play hockey
even beats by Dre.
The name hockey always bothered me growing up us skaters always hated hockey players, which is prob the irony in regards to their sense of humour it was prob just their way of giving the finger to the jocks. Who knows.
It definitely is a crazy name for a skate brand haha always wondered how they got that name.
Less go
Thanks shreds, I didn't know anything about hockey skateboards except that they make incredibly overpriced Dick's which are the same quality as mini logo, but cost more than Powell Peralta flight Deck
idk what u mean by "most recently" with diego todd. dude's been on Hockey for years, way before joe campos.
Favourite rider: Dylan Rieder
Dream team member: Alex Olson
Dylan was definitely my fav too ❤️ Olson would be rad, but I don't think him n Dill get along anymore. He'd be a cool addition.
@@ShredzShop yeah that’s something between them & the public will never know. Too bad the og 917 team all left because limosine/FA/Supreme are killing it
That last statement about certain brands being “what they are today” was a shot at Alex Olsen
No, it wasn’t. I’m down for Alex, it was paying homage to FA for bringing up legit young guys.
@@leviswitzer sorry, I misunderstood
Fa forever
❤🎉👍🏽
🙏 🙌

100% agree about FA! Private art school kids FASHUN skateboard as an accessory brand...
🍻🇨🇦
AVE head pro for Vans?!?!? Rowley has been since 1999...
Kadow the goat
His new Supreme part was SO good!
I have to say. That was a spicy comment. Or gassy?
haha
Craziest thing about F.A is if YE were to become a hitler president all the footage of him saying stuff about jews was while he was wearing a F.A hat. Imagine if Hitler had drip like that hahha.
yea not a good look for FA
@@ShredzShop just shut up man
beanie and a t-shirt? are you feeling hot or cold? make up your mind!
😆 😝
It’s Canada
& they still owe me stickers from 15 years ago
from what?
pretty sure fat bill had a thing or two to do w FA and all their success
FA must have paid Louie a fortune when he left Flip...Dill is just a fake gonz but probably a better skater.
Skateboarding is a hell of a drug.
Skaters are funny everyone is considered a “legend” and or “legendary”
Surprised you didn’t mention that Donovan Piscopo and john were easily added to Hockey because they were also apart of the AWS movement. I guess thats one thing You didn’t know lol.
I found your pacing to be just a touch too fast, but otherwise, great video
Appreciate the feedback! 🙏🙏
Dill...do
🛹🛹🛹
🙏 🙏 🙏
very biased so best one yet, and most likely forever
got my second dyan bag, 2 Gs in just those bags. should have kept the class photo boards but gave them to my friend's kids. love the turquoise paint the terp left at the park, should have keep it
Hyped you enjoyed!! I like how this one came out 🙌🙏
Didn’t Dylan date Cat Power?
Not sure if they dated, they were definitely friends. I think Spanky dated her. But I could be wrong.
does anyone know any cheaper brands with the same nose shape?
Here in france hockey and fa bords are well over €85
The shape is much like OG alien workshop. Although Idk if aliens shapes are still the same.😢❤
"huntington beach which has always been the center of the skateboarding universe" thats just factually untrue
Jason dill and Chris Robert should come out the same time
101 was way cooler than FA.
