When word came around that the chrome ball incident was going to do a post to celebrate the life of our fallen brother Van Wastell on his birthday, it was only right that the crew he grew up with skating banded together to tell never before heard tales about Van and his come up in skateboarding. Read about it here.
Above is the crowd that gathered at the infamous 3 up 3 down skate spot, which was the start off spot for the Roughneck Bart Tour 2007.

The monumental NBD that Mr. DGK Jack Curtin did on Clipper is another banger logged for the upcoming DGK video, but the switch kickflip backside 50-50 was only the beginning, as he recounts the tale that it took to get the cover of transworld, here.
Our collaboration with Benny Gold is still selling strong, and its the last chance to go panning for gold, as this design has been flying off the shelves. As always, it comes with our signature hand packed in the city hardware and stickers. Get some now.

Roughneck Hardware was est. August 13th, 1997 in San Francisco, California. Hotel 107 was our home base. Shear determination and the love of skateboarding, is what gave me the drive to create an independent skateboard company. We have seen many companies come and go over the years,but roughneck has kept the dream alive for over a decade. All the blood, sweat, and tears have paid off! We are the worlds #1 skate hardware. RNCK has the most diverse team in the business. Roughneck is a family, from big guns "Peter Ramondetta" & "Dennis Busenitz" to the new young up and coming rippers "Andrew Allen" & "Robbie Russo" just to name a few soldiers. This truly is an exciting time for our family,and we are looking forward to keeping Roughneck a name you can trust. Thanks for the support. respect, Johnny Roughneck
