Death Skateboards

Death Skateboards was established in 1998 by Nick "Zorlac" Orecchio, after starting Power Distribution a few years earlier, representing brands such as Heroin, Landscape, Antiz, Consolidated, Traffic, and Kill City. It started as a reaction against all the clean-cut skate brands that began to appear, heavily driven by profit, as opposed to the anti-trend attitude of Death, which attempts to stay true to the essence of skateboarding. Over the years, Death's team has featured some of skateboarding's biggest personalities, including Dan Cates, Matt Pritchard, Mark Nicolson, Richie Jackson, Patrick Melcher, Horsey, Eddie Belvedere, Zarosh, Dave Allen, Ronny Calow, Adam Moss, Dean Palmer, and many more.
