Deathwish Skateboards was founded by Erik Ellington and Jim Greco in 2008 under Baker Boys Distribution. Their plan was to create a sister brand for Baker under a new distribution, then bring Baker over once it's contract with Blitz expired, which they did in 2011. Deathwish created an instant fan base for itself through their raw graphics and team of misfit riders. The Deathwish name and logo comes from the Charles Bronson series of movies of the same name. Adrenaline has teamed up with Deathwish as well to create the collab deck Adrewish!!
