my friends and I camped outside the FA Hollywood store for the grand opening and we were the first 5 in line. Mike Piscitelli, AVE, and Dill were all so gracious with their time and were even generous enough to shoot us some free product and sign our boards. Genuinely one of the best memories I have
Damn, that’s so cool
gay
@@sootytern definitely
🧢
Dude so far fetched I doubt it dude
Dylan Forever ❤
you prolly didnt even know him dork 😂
I didn't but he was so dope I bought his board at 43 to skate with my 15yo son. 💪🙏
Some skaters just own certain tricks. When I see a front side flip, I think of Reynolds. A heel flip, I think of Lindsey Robertson, a back side 360 kick flip, I think of Chris Cole. But whenever I see a skater do an impossible in a video part, I think of Dylan... RIP
Lindsey's heelflip sucked.
He definitely made the impossible trendy again!
duuuuuude, the lindsey robertson drop is awesome!! some lean towards neen (totally get it), but so many people forget about robertson i feel like.
Hell yeah. RIP Dylan man. I bought his white dipped “class photo” deck before I even knew who he was. The deck just said something to me, and I grabbed it from my shop. Kept it in the shrink wrap, went home and I watched everything I could about DR. One of the most important skaters of all time. If Dylan was still alive he’d be the face of skateboarding rn. It sucks he’s not here anymore.
Could you do a 14 things you didn't know about Dime?
For sure, I'll add it to our list! 🙏
I don’t know if you guys have noticed but in the thps remasters the FA decks say just awesome as the rest is scratched off
The embossing on FA decks I absolutely love. I don't think I've seen other board makers rip that off. Great seeing how the production quality of these videos has evolved.
It’s definitely been a signature of theirs. There’s definitely lots of brands doing embossed decks now, but no one does it as much as FA.
@@ShredzShop true
The embossing was a rip of the hex emboss on alien boards, no surprise considering most of f.a were riding them hex decks.
Levi, one of the best vids yet! Such a deep dive.. Thanks man!
Thanks Ben!! Stoked you still watch the channel, you’re an OG! Hyped you enjoyed this episode!
I like the amount detailed information in this video. Nice one y'all!
Glad you enjoyed! 🙏👊
Idk about this video recommendation, i’d be hard since they’re kinda of a mystery, But 14 things you didn’t know about Mystery Skateboards would be dope
That’d be a cool one, not really sure who owns them now.
@@ShredzShop Yeah, that got me wondering sometimes
love that dude riding a horse FA deck in the background!
🔥 🔥 🔥
Best skateshop in Canada🔥. I completely snub my local skateshop for them all the time. Big ups from Ontario!
This was the best one you’ve made. 🤙
Thank you!! Lots of work, stoked how it came out!! 🙌🙏
That chest tattoo looks fresh!!!
You guys are so imformitive! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed! 🙌🙏
I loved alien workshop growing up because of dill, and those videos were doing stuff I hadn’t seen anywhere else
They were super unique and felt so different from everything else at the time. Maybe from being based outside of California?
I’m so happy that Dill is having so much success. He’s a good dude even though he has some issues. Plus Dill is a dope ass skater
Just got my last ever Tj & Nak board for Christmas since they left the team. Awesome video as always guys ❣️😁🙏😅💯🛹
Skating them or hanging the boards? Glad you enjoyed our vid!
@@ShredzShop I’m hanging them
Drawn on a napkin 😂 so original.
Kevin Terp and I graduated HS the same year. He’s still incredible today when I get to skate with him.
Dude I’ve seen! I follow him on IG, been stoked to see him posting lots of clips lately.
No one ever mentions the F.A Etnies shoe from 2008. I remember seeing some mall chain surf shop with like full size etnies fucking awesome ads across all the front windows, top to bottom. They were just black and white shots of the shoes and maybe dill with the etnies and fa logos.
i asked for this vid and it finally came out, thanks for that guys
Stoked! Hopefully you enjoyed!
Really nice vid! I love FA! Got way too much decks right here... :D
They’re rad! Stoked how this episode turned out! Glad you enjoyed! 🙏
I lived down the street from the fa store when I was going to college in Hollywood would stop by pretty often such a sick store
Forever love for FA. 💜
I've been skating for 24 years and these videos have taught me more history than anything else
Stoked to hear it! We love making em and digging up some skate history!
Who's your favorite FA/Hockey rider of all time? What brand should we do next?!
Ben Kadow, and honestly I’d say Frankie Heck would fit the whole FA Hockey vibe
@@Kultactivities Ben K had my fav part in the new supreme vid.
Favorite of all time? Dylan
Dream rider? SPANKY
Gino iannucci FA, Joe Campos Hockey favorite riders. Marcello Campanello on FA, Bobby Puelo on Hockey.
Caleb or nik stain
Ur my favorite skateboard channel ❤❤❤
Jason Mewes is FA as FA!
🔥🏆👊 Jason Mamoa is always skating FA boards!
Ayy finally my request has been fulfilled!
🙌🙏 hope you enjoy! 👊
Lets gooo!! This vid is gonna be FA!
Hope you enjoyed!!!
@@ShredzShop hell yea, i already am enjoying it
The reason I changed riding from chocolate boards to hockey is the shape of the board...I need that "shovel" nose on my boards.. Only bad thing is that they are expensive af and that's not fa at all..😄
Haha yea they’re always a little more than every other brand. They have a very unique shape though! 🔥
@@ShredzShop The shape is what I love the most!!!
@@timonuotio6395 They still make the shovelnose shape and then they added a more regular shape (similar to an Anti Hero) just to give people some options!
Anybody know what the board/graphic on the wall between the red Hockey and orange Zero boards is? Looks kinda like Picasso's Don Quixote sketch.
Also, good vid. But how can you not mention my fave FA skater, Randy Farkus??
That class photos is original hahahaha
Video suggestion:
Best daredevil tricks of all time (1990s - early 2000's)
Haha that’d be a sweet one
I love Hockey Board's. Best board I skated in my 20 year's. I look forward to setting up my FA board this week.
Great video, RIP Dylan
Great influences fashoo 👌🏽
Glad you enjoyed! 🙌🙏
Thank you
Thanks for watching!!

Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it! 🙌🔥👊
still have the first two yellow boards from the first drop sealed in a box in my closet. prized possessions
Damn, thats awesome! I have a few early drop boards in my collection!
DYLAN FOREVER ♥️
owwee who made that bat in the back?! it's fire!
It was made by @adrianmartinus check them out on Instagram. They do amazing stuff. made a table for the Adidas store in LA, and made a recycled skateboard bowl for AVE.
@@ShredzShop yuuuus adrian and martinus are the boooyz! that's awesome!
I did have an Adrian martinis one. This one was by Cyco Styx/Olive Skateboards
Shout out to Levi 🤙
Always wanted to skate a FA board
Give one a shot! They’re our #1 board brand in the shop ✅
FA/Hockey have one of my favorite shapes for sure
Yo they on sale rn some them 30$ get one while they’re still there homie if you really want one check their instagram for the page link
Kinda wondering when and how Andrew Allen came into the picture at Hockey.
y'all know what happened with Kevin Bradley? miss him much in the scene
He's still around, I think he's off Supreme but blesses us with amazing IG clips every now n then. Hope he pulls out a full part at some point soon. Dude is too talented!
TJ SOTY🎉!
Quick little secret if you have one of the negative invert FA boards if you change your phone to invert negative you can see the color its supposed to be.

🤯 that’s dope!
Could’ve titled this “The entire history of FA”
The pic at 2:37 was CRAZY 🤔
ohhhhhh heck ya bahd!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Aves are cursed for me-- always roll my ankle everytime I wear them to skate
Damn! That blows! Haven’t had problems in mine, but every product works different for different people
FA is interesting for a few reasons.
At the start, only core skate shops who already had other offensive decks on the walls would stock them. Surf/skate shops were too scared of self righteous mothers to go near the brand.
Secondly, the true driver of success is quality and pop of the US produced wood ( by the legendary PS STIX ) and kids who had previously rode Chinese produced boards immediately positively noticed the difference.
The cult nature of FA and later, Palace meant hipster non skaters were coming into core shops and paying top dollar for a tshirt and helping to pay the rent, which helps skaters in general.
Respect from Australia
I though ps stix was Mexican wood.
@@Capitan_Chaos At the start FA was made in USA it was stamped on their boards. PS STIX has two manufacturing sites, one in Mexico too so yes
Man I'm waiting for Fallen
Another interesting fact. Dill's great grandfather is the inventor of the dill pickle.
Forever grateful for this beautiful brand man this is beyond skateboarding thanks for this video man keep ‘em coming 🤙🏼
These videos are sick
Still skating my Sean Pablo class photo deck from yeaars ago. By far my most favorite board that I stopped skating a new Elijah Berle classphoto just because of the shape of that board. FA x Supreme 4 life!
Dill in minefield was so good
the sw 180 Manny bs 360 is one of my fav clips. I've tried that trick so many times.
Yeah those AVE’s are dope.
Such a crazy sole. I really loved skating mine.
Can you please do 14 things you didn't know about maddnes skate boards
It’s on our list! 🙏🔥
Yaaay
@@maayan8584 ace pelka rules!!!
Less go
Ave and Jason dill were always my favorite. But FA and hockey boards snap easily. I had my first board snap in 2019 when I was really skating and I never broke a board my whole life.
They did switch factories recently to the biggest most popular factory, so I’d be curious is they still broke easily! Sometimes you just get unlucky
It could’ve been a bad press too, their boards have been mostly great I’d say 85-90% of mine have been amazing and identical in shape and skatablility
@@breckwoo every FA and hockey board I had snapped. But it’s been awhile since I had a FA board might give them a chance again.
@@kickyourfaceandlaugh607 They exclusively use BBS to make their decks now. Considered the best workshop by most people.
All injured but still trying to get on 🙏
🔥 🔥 🔥
Thanks shreds, I didn't know anything about hockey skateboards except that they make incredibly overpriced Dick's which are the same quality as mini logo, but cost more than Powell Peralta flight Deck
even beats by Dre.
Miss old FA :/ FA was the shit back in 2014 smh
🍻🇨🇦
AVE head pro for Vans?!?!? Rowley has been since 1999...
Big up FA Hollywood store. Love to people that work there
The name hockey always bothered me growing up us skaters always hated hockey players, which is prob the irony in regards to their sense of humour it was prob just their way of giving the finger to the jocks. Who knows.
It definitely is a crazy name for a skate brand haha always wondered how they got that name.
Kadow the goat
His new Supreme part was SO good!
❤🎉👍🏽
🙏 🙌
Fa forever
Dill is looking like John Waters more and more every time I see him
The only thing I don't know is why they don't play hockey
Favourite rider: Dylan Rieder
Dream team member: Alex Olson
Dylan was definitely my fav too ❤️ Olson would be rad, but I don't think him n Dill get along anymore. He'd be a cool addition.
@@ShredzShop yeah that’s something between them & the public will never know. Too bad the og 917 team all left because limosine/FA/Supreme are killing it
idk what u mean by "most recently" with diego todd. dude's been on Hockey for years, way before joe campos.
Craziest thing about F.A is if YE were to become a hitler president all the footage of him saying stuff about jews was while he was wearing a F.A hat. Imagine if Hitler had drip like that hahha.
yea not a good look for FA
@@ShredzShop just shut up man
I found your pacing to be just a touch too fast, but otherwise, great video
Appreciate the feedback! 🙏🙏
beanie and a t-shirt? are you feeling hot or cold? make up your mind!
😆 😝
It’s Canada
I have to say. That was a spicy comment. Or gassy?
haha
Dill...do
Didn’t Dylan date Cat Power?
Not sure if they dated, they were definitely friends. I think Spanky dated her. But I could be wrong.
pretty sure fat bill had a thing or two to do w FA and all their success
🛹🛹🛹
🙏 🙏 🙏
That last statement about certain brands being “what they are today” was a shot at Alex Olsen
No, it wasn’t. I’m down for Alex, it was paying homage to FA for bringing up legit young guys.
@@leviswitzer sorry, I misunderstood
& they still owe me stickers from 15 years ago
from what?
does anyone know any cheaper brands with the same nose shape?
Here in france hockey and fa bords are well over €85
The shape is much like OG alien workshop. Although Idk if aliens shapes are still the same.😢❤
Skateboarding is a hell of a drug.
Skaters are funny everyone is considered a “legend” and or “legendary”
very biased so best one yet, and most likely forever
got my second dyan bag, 2 Gs in just those bags. should have kept the class photo boards but gave them to my friend's kids. love the turquoise paint the terp left at the park, should have keep it
Hyped you enjoyed!! I like how this one came out 🙌🙏
Surprised you didn’t mention that Donovan Piscopo and john were easily added to Hockey because they were also apart of the AWS movement. I guess thats one thing You didn’t know lol.
I really like the shape of Hockey decks. They have nice huge shovel noses and steep kicks. However, FA is kind of lame, or at least the whole connection to Supreme. Supreme is like the most superficial, overly expensive, meaningless dogshit commodity. I feel hollow inside buying anything even remotely connected to Supreme.
100% agree about FA! Private art school kids FASHUN skateboard as an accessory brand...
FA must have paid Louie a fortune when he left Flip...Dill is just a fake gonz but probably a better skater.
101 was way cooler than FA.
