Today we look at our 9 favorite skate ads of all time.We dive into brands that get a little more creative than the rest when it comes to selling skateboards & shoes.
World Industries, "the double dip, skateboarding will never be the same" Showcasing the first true double kick board ever. question tho? Does anybody know what board that is in the ad? It's definitely not a Mike Vallely barn yard.
Always the best videos about skateboarding. Cheers from Québec. I used to check yours videos when i was drunk and stoned but now im almost 7months sober and i enjoy thoses videos even more. Life is good and now my skateboarding session are way more fun and addictive. Levi your the best host. Keep thoses videos fun and entertening. From a happy french frog 😅❤😊
The mosr memorable ad for me was I think a slimeballs, oj, or santa cruz one. Anyway, it was Grosso doing a nosestall (possibly to revert) on a board with no nose (late 80s.) I'll never forget it because we had never seen someone use their nose like that before, it blew my mind.
The Blind Dear George ad was in reaction to the Powell ad with Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, and Ray Barbee satirically representing small, skater-owned companies called Scum Skates, Bad Person, and I forget the other fake brand. That’s the one that pissed off Rocco.
Back in the 70s Mike Weed pro skater came out with an ad said my weed is legal him holding his wheel up in thE background was a cop to this day that ad is still in my head ? Ya I'm old it in Skateboarder magazine

Edmonton has lots of great shops! Rumour, Ninetimes, Boardom, Local 124, Easy Rider, Source & more. Speaking of great skate ads, Rumour did a pretty funny little skit called "Back to the School Sale" that's a back to the future spoof. Check it on their IG.
There used to be a ton of great ones. Plush, Famous, FS, Ed’s, that have all disappeared. But Rumour and Easy Rider are still good along with the ones he listed above
@@jasontoshach6949 I think locals are one of those things where you get in where you fit in! Every shop has a different personality and Im sure you'll find one you love!
Still remember the World ad that was a full page comic in Big Brother that told the story from the devil's point of view how he got kicked outta heaven. Also World with the I sold my soul and all I got was this lousy T-shirt ad where you send in $6.66 and a photo for soul verification.
The grind king ad from 1999. it said something along the lines of, this isnt the only thing youll be gridning this summer and it was a picture of a womans vag 😅😅, that ad got me laid cause i showed it to my neighbor and she said...well...i guess they're right and i was confused for a second 😅😅 afterwards, i was not. We banglaged the whole summer
Hell yeah amazing episode as always guys! Much Love ❤️🙏🏻🇿🇦 and a update on my post about my medical update , im awaiting a CT SCAN to check for brain tumors, epilepsy has been ruled out 🙏🏻❤️🇿🇦🛹
Forget which bearing brand this was for, so maybe not the most effective ad ever, but it featured one spread with a pile of shit and a pile of gold, and the text: 'If you're smart enough to know the difference between this' and then on the following page: 'then you're smart enough to know the difference between this' with a bunch of no-name brand bearings and the ones advertised. For the rest, the whole cottage industry around 'pro skateboarding', the contests and media and what not that make skateboarding seem like this monumental endeavour, rather than a fun way to waste time with friends on a wooden toy, is probably the 'best' ad in terms of hooking potential customers.
Nike from what I remember, wasn’t a failure because of the inferior shoe design, it was because most skaters at that time had brand loyalty to skate companies not corporations. The quality of skate shoes in the late 90’s to mid 2000’s was excellent with a ton of variety.

Jason Lee "Will Skate for Food". Blind.
Levi low-key looks like a Justin Beiber Halloween Costume
I'm indifferent to him and his music because his music sucks!!
The Hubba Wheel ads haha
Yes sir! Turned a lot of boys to men! 😅😅😅

haha happy to hear you're sober and doing well! I love QC, gonna try n do a trip out there this fall.
Congrats brother on the 7 months!
@@jimkozminski7693 thanks brotha 💪😎💪💯💯💯
I still have a couple beers and smoke weed, but I quit the hard stuff when Grosso passed away@@pierre-oliviergourde4296
That Plan B ad blew all of my friends minds back in the day. So many guesses and rumors oh who was leaving and who was staying.... classic!
Crazy Tony Hawk is on the list, people were tripping I'm sure
One of my favorite ads Is the Tony Hawk got milk add with his half pipe and glass of milk
That's a good one! I remember him getting clowned for it back in the day, now people have wayyyyy crazier sponsors.
Best skate channel on TH-cam! I'm so happy I found them and they make me wanna skate everyday even at 39
🙏glad you enjoy! Stoked these get you pumped to skate!! 🙌
I always thought that the Toy Machine ads were the best. All of the subtle details in every ad kept me looking at them for so long.
The mosr memorable ad for me was I think a slimeballs, oj, or santa cruz one. Anyway, it was Grosso doing a nosestall (possibly to revert) on a board with no nose (late 80s.) I'll never forget it because we had never seen someone use their nose like that before, it blew my mind.
Great list here. The shorty’s ad campaign with Rosa was my favorite for all the wrong reasons but that Nike ad campaign was brilliant.
"the way we treat skateboarders ad" is legit one of the best n most creative commercials ever..shits lit
So well done haha Its tough to pull off those kinda ads and not make em cheesy
Definitely want to see the worst ads now. 2 Fish would be a good start.
haha that'd make an interesting episode.
Been waiting for this one, let's gooooo
Hope you enjoyed!!

If they have a Darkstar board laying around at Zumiez I honestly applaud them.

Shortys add w the bearings in the… you know 😎
The ol' Quickies ad! Banned from so many magazines! haha If you find a copy of it, it definitely is not from a TWS lets just say that... 😆
@@ShredzShop 🤭
Palace wasn’t sarcastic though, they literally wanted to infiltrate the supermodel , Lux, upper class lifestyle…
Fun fact. It was Bam that did the kickflip in the Nike video. 🤙🏻🤙🏻

What would be a good local skate shop for Edmonton ?

they did some crazy stuff back in the day haha
@robowenmikelsfor real
The sell your soul ad was fucking amazing!
I wish I could get my hands on the skull and banana board or I wish some day mark could redraw the board for Krooked

Even your mom likes Quickies.
Have you thought about getting Satan's Drano to sponsor the comment of the week?

What happen to Tommy Honk?
I agree with this
I had a guy who knew Chris Cole and they we're both sponsored by G-Spot Skateboards
they didn't keep contact and chris moved to cali
He lives in phoenix now
girl skateboard team poster 1997...emerica team skate 2002
I liked Consolidated ads. They spent all their money saying "Nike = bad" instead of running a dope skateboarding company.
Fucking hilarious considering how many guys on consolidated over the years rode for Nike.
@@pressureflipin1992 Oh yea, that too!!! Haha
Like how you guys completely left out the rollerblading part of the wknd ad, in true hater form. 👍
Adds? What? I guess it’s skateboarding so it OK but adds?
Im not liking this because its currently at 666 and i dont wanna be that guy who ruined it...
PRAISE GOD ✝️🙏🛹
5:21 Wrong. It didn't do well because skaters still had some principles.
Nike from what I remember, wasn’t a failure because of the inferior shoe design, it was because most skaters at that time had brand loyalty to skate companies not corporations. The quality of skate shoes in the late 90’s to mid 2000’s was excellent with a ton of variety.
Rosa isn't teaching in southern california. she is up in the bay doing non profit work.

Zumiez is the b3sTt, I got 20% off a Darkstar with element trucks and zero wheels. Great dealllllllll 🎉
Got Raws from there❤❤
