Clown Skateboards
Clown Skateboards was established in 2000 after Jeff Boardman and Vikas Malik met through a mutual love of skateboarding, art, and music. Run from their base in East London, the two friends launched the brand with the Clown Banksy Test Press Series, which included the now iconic Clown logo design by the then-up-and-coming artist BANKSY. The OG team line-up featured Simon Skipp, Benny Fairfax, Mattias Nylen, Chris Oliver & Woody. After five years of hard clowning around, in 2005 it was decided that the company would take a hiatus until 2020, then after a 15-year break Clown Skateboards returned to finish what it started.
