H-Street Is Back From The Dead

All I have to say about this one is, DAMN! This is by far the comeback of the last 15 years. While countless brands have returned from the grave in recent years, it had become somewhat of a mystery why H-Street, one of the most important skate imprints in skateboarding history never took a shot at a revival.

Now, seemingly over night, H-Street Skateboards has been birthed once again. Headed by OG vert pro and Osiris founder Tony Magnusson, the new H-Street has a fleshed-out team with classic members and a couple of new editions. What’s most impressive about this venture are the classic pro models and shapes of the era feautred in the catalog. Included are legendary boards from Eddie “El Gato” Elguera, Sal Barbier, Art Godoy, Ron Allen & T-Mag himself. There’s a full line of H-street goods available, including tons of new graphics, shapes, wheels, completes, tees and even “Shackle Me Not” and “Hockus Pokus” on DVD. This is a pretty sick one and if you grew up riding H-street boards and idolizing Matt Hensley the way I did, it’s time to click around the new H-street catalog and lose yourself in a sugary coated world of nostolgia.

For all you new jacks who don’t know a thing about H-Street, you should know that some of the best names in skateboarding history have rode for H-Street at one time or another. Names like Danny Way, Brian Lotti, Mike Carrol, Eric Koston, Bam Margera, Josh Kalis and Mike Maldonado have all skated for H-street through the years.
