Description The roots of Blitz Distribution extend back to 1992, when two friends, Tony Hawk and Per Welinder, decided to take a gamble and found their own skateboard company. By then, Hawk had already established himself as one of the greatest skateboards of all time, with 12 world championships and 18 X Games medals in his war chest. Welinder was also a figure of some renown, a master of the technical art of freestyle - the precursor to today's street skating - and the only man to ever beat Rodney Mullen in a contest. In addition, Welinder's skills as a marketing manager and his MBA from the Anderson School of Business at UCLA helped give the company the edge it needed to succeed in the often volatile skateboard industry. Today, Blitz has grown to encompass some of the most important brands in skateboarding, including Baker, Birdhouse, Flip, Fury, Sk8Mafia and Hook-Ups. The company sends skateboarding products around the world, everywhere from small mom and pop shops to large sporting good chains. Through the years the goal of Blitz remains providing the highest quality products at reasonable prices to encourage the continued growth of skateboarding as a passion, an activity and a way of life.
