The History Of Ken Block And DC Shoes

If you were around in the early to mid 2000s then you know DC shoes. DC is one of the largest companies in the skateboard industry and have been around since the early 90s.
They revolutionized the skateboard apparel industry, and helped usher in skate culture into the mainstream.
Co created by rally car legend Ken Block, who these days is more well known for his involvement with Hoonagan than with the skate world, but non the less have you ever wondered how both he and DC shoes got their start? Let's find out.
I'm Nate the Great from Takeflight214.com and this is the history of Ken Block and DC Sneakers.

Dude kept saying doors instead of DROORS!!!! Made me want to bash my face into the wall. DROORS where sick in the 90’s and if you don’t know that and skate then you shouldn’t be talking about skating in a doc
