About Me


Triple X Skateboards & Longboards
Since 1987
We've been doing xXx Skateboards since 1987, and before that it all started in 1983 with a jigsaw and a file in a garage in Hollywood. There is a purpose to xXx skateboards and the longboards we make. They are quality, they are not OEM iron on graphics. They are designed up from template, to prototype and often hand shaped by the owner of the compay. We've been doing this since 1982 and we know what we are doing.
Erik Gorman, 1989 at the factory
xXx faces an industry in which turn key skateboard operations make it easy to slap a house shape with your favorite iron on graphic. We started from the ground up, we learned how to shape and then Skiper Boy Engblom gave us a nudge back in 1984. Now a days unlike back in 1987 skateboarding is faceless and basically a cult of personality. We are one of several alternatives to faceless iron on graphics and all in the same shapes.
xXx stands for quality made small production made from the best laminates, finest poping glues and assembly. There could be many reasons why you should skate our boards, but honestly you should make up your own mind.
