From 151's "About" Section: THE HISTORY OF 151 SKATEBOARDS 151 Skateboards started in the mid 90's with raw power and heavy riders like Pigpen, Neil Heddings, Darren Navarette, Chris Swanson, Peter Hewitt, Sam Hitz, Aaron Harrison, Matt Dyke and many more. 151 was on a path of destruction until it came to an abrupt end. Call it financial or circumstantial, it was just a time when this kind of skateboarding was "unmarketable" but like your favorite STD, its back! Burning with vengeance and sicker than aids.
