Founded in 1993 by pro skater Ed Templeton, The Firm Skateboards brought a fresh, artistic voice to skateboarding during a pivotal era of street skating. Known for its creative graphics and team-focused ethos, The Firm emphasized individuality, style, and expression—values reflected in both its deck designs and influential skate videos.
With riders like Rick McCrank and a legacy rooted in artistic collaboration, The Firm helped bridge the gap between skateboarding and visual art. Though the brand is no longer active, its impact on skate culture—particularly its unique aesthetic and commitment to creative freedom—continues to resonate with skaters and collectors alike.
