Fourstar Reviews

THE YEAR WAS AT THAT POINT IN OUR LIVES WE HAD PURCHASED ENOUGH POLO, NAUTICA AND HILFIGER GEAR TO THINK, HEY, MAYBE WE SHOULD START A CLOTHING COMPANY, AND 1996, I HAD NO CLOTHING SPONSORS AND GUY MARIANO.

LITTLE DID WE KNOW THAT BEING SHOP-A-HOLICS WASN'T QUITE ENOUGH TO MAKE US CLOTHING DESIGNERS, BUT OUR INFLUENCE AND IDEAS WERE AND WE GOT FOURSTAR OFF RUNNING AND THE GROUND. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT WASN'T EASY BUT IT HAS BEEN A GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE. IT'S GIVEN US THE Chance TO CREATE ONE OF the Best TEAMS IN SKATEBOARDING AND NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THEIR TALENTS. IT'S BUILT SUCH GREAT RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN EVERYONE THAT'S BEEN A PART OF FOURSTAR. THE TRIPS WE'VE TAKEN HAVE BEEN SOME OF THE BEST TIMES OF MY LIFE. IT'S NOW 15 YEARS THOSE AND LATER CLOTHING BRANDS THAT INFLUENCED US IN THE BEGINNING ARE NO LONGER RELEVANT TO OUR INDUSTRY. YET FOURSTAR IS. . .AND THAT'S SKATEBOARDING.

I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT SKATEBOARDERS' STYLE HAS HAD A BIG INFLUENCE ON FASHION. A Great Deal OF THE POPULAR BRANDS BACK IN THE 90'S WERE COOL BUT WERE STARTING TO FALL OFF. I GOT TIRED OF WEARING BRANDS AND LOGOS that I DIDN'T REALLY BELIEVE IN. ERIC AND I HAD BEEN FRIENDS FOR A WHILE AND BECAME REALLY CLOSE DURING THE FILMING OF THE MOUSE VIDEO. WE SAID 1 DAY. . .FUCK IT. . .LET'S DO OUR OWN THING. LET'S CREATE SOMETHING FOR US. WE WANTED IT TO BE PART OF THE GIRL FAMILY, RUN AND OWNED BY SKATERS. LANCE MOUNTAIN SHOT OUR FIRST AD CAMPAIGN. I EVEN SHOT A SEQUENCE OF ERIC. WE STARTED OUT MAKING SOME FUNKY STUFF LIKE MESH JERSEY SHIRTS AND NYLON PANTS BUT THAT WAS THE SHIT BACK THEN. 15 YEARS LATER I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT WE'VE FOUND OUR GROOVE. I'M GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE RIDERS AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE HELPED BUILD FOURSTAR THROUGH THE YEARS in Addition to OUR CURRENT TEAM FOR CARRYING ON THE TRADITION OF WHY WE DID THIS.
