The 101 skateboards brand was founded in 1991 by two skateboarding legends. Natas Kaupas, one of the first street skaters, invented the wall ride and the flat ollie. At just 16, he became a figure on the international skateboarding scene and will forever be a legend in skateboarding history, with his panther visual imitating the Metro Goldwyn Mayer visual on his Santa Monica Airlines pro model. Steve Rocco, a true legend of skate culture, was a pioneer in this emerging industry and rapidly contributed to its development. For example, he co-founded the famous brands BlindPlan B and 101 skateboards.
Natas Kaupas succeeded in sponsoring some of the best skateboarders of the time, and put together an exceptional team including Eric Koston, Andy Stone and Jason Dill. Together, they released some of the most revolutionary videos of the 90s. A few years later, the brand ran out of steam and disappeared, only to reappear today to offer reissues of mythical boards and carry onskateboarding's old-school heritage.
