Founded in 1986 by pro skater Tony Magnusson and entrepreneur Mike Ternasky, H-Street Skateboards revolutionized the skateboarding industry with its raw street-centric approach, boundary-pushing video production, and rider-first ethos. As one of the first skater-owned brands, H-Street carved its place in history by empowering a new generation of skaters to take ownership of the culture they helped build.
Renowned for groundbreaking videos like Shackle Me Not and Hokus Pokus, H-Street introduced an influential roster of riders—including Matt Hensley and Danny Way—who brought innovation and style to the streets. The brand’s deck graphics and video storytelling set new standards, blending gritty realism with expressive creativity. H-Street’s legacy lives on as a pioneer of modern street skating, celebrated for its fearless attitude, commitment to progression, and lasting impact on skateboarding worldwide.
