🛹 Conspiracy Skateboards: Underground Roots, Timeless Rebellion

In the world of skateboarding, where authenticity often trumps commercial polish, few brands have held onto their raw, rebellious spirit quite like Conspiracy Skateboards. Born from the underground and still thriving in the shadows of mainstream skate culture, Conspiracy is more than just a company—it's a movement.

🌟 Origins: Texas Grit Meets Artistic Vision

Conspiracy Skateboards was founded in 1993 in Texas by Lindsey Kuhn, a legendary rock poster artist, and Dana “Buckit Head” Buck. The duo launched the brand out of frustration—at the time, no one was making the kind of board shapes they wanted to ride. So they took matters into their own hands, blending punk aesthetics with skateboarding’s DIY ethos.

Kuhn’s background in poster art heavily influenced the brand’s visual identity, giving Conspiracy decks a gritty, graphic-heavy style that stood out in a sea of corporate slickness.

🎨 What Makes Conspiracy Notable?

• Art-Driven Decks: Their boards often feature artwork inspired by classic rock posters, underground comics, and counterculture themes. Collaborations with artists like Pushead have added to their cult appeal.

• Limited Runs: Conspiracy is known for producing small batches of decks and apparel, making each release feel like a collector’s drop.

• Skate History Preservation: They’ve released shirts and gear that pay homage to skateboarding’s roots, keeping the culture alive for newer generations.

🛹 Sponsored Riders & Community Impact

Conspiracy has supported a range of skaters over the years, including Glen Charnoski, a veteran of the vert scene and a passionate advocate for DIY skateparks. Glen even had his own pro model with Conspiracy, and his interviews reflect the brand’s ethos: skate hard, stay humble, and build your own ramps if no one else will.

Rather than chasing Olympic fame or big-budget contests, Conspiracy has focused on grassroots support, sponsoring skaters who embody the spirit of independence and creativity.

🔥 What They’re Up to Now

Still going strong, Conspiracy Skateboards continues to release new decks and apparel through their online store. Recent drops include:

• LxKuhn graphic decks inspired by classic rock posters

• Limited edition shirts and jackets featuring iconic graphics like Pushead’s “Alien Shot”

• Skate history tees that celebrate the legacy of the sport

They’ve also made appearances on platforms like Roku and maintain a presence through their affiliated store, SwampCo, which stocks their latest gear.
