Blind Skateboards
At the end of the 90s the skateboard market was dominated by big brands managed by managers light years away from the philosophy of the nascent street skate scene. In those years Mark Gonzales, a very famous skater and considered by many to be one of the inventors of modern street skating, skated for Vision Skateboards, one of the biggest brands of the time. Convinced by Steve Rocco, a pro freestyler at the end of his career with a great desire to be an entrepreneur, Mark gave up Vision and went into partnership with Steve to launch his new company. As a sign of mockery and opposition to Vision, the brand was called Blind which in English means "blind". It was the beginning of a revolution that in a few years would change the history of skateboarding forever. Almost 30 years later Blind Skateboards is alive and well, manufactured and distributed by a skater-operated-company (Dwindle) and has one of the strongest teams out there with riders like TJ Rogers, Cody McEntire, Sewa Kroetkov, Kevin Romar and Yuto Horigome.
