Keep 'em Lit, Pass 'em On
When you're done skating these wheels pass them on to someone else who could use 'em
The grinning, cartoon face that appears on Spitfire Wheels was designed by Kevin Ancell. In the sharply curved teeth and flame-like hair, the logo captures the spirit and energy of a spitfire, someone with a bold, determined and fiery personality. It's a perfect match for the daring exploits of skateboarders using Spitfire Wheels. The logo appears in various colours across the wheels, but is primarily red when representing the brand.
Team Riders:
The team has featured many highly successful riders including Mark Gonzales, a veteran who began skateboarding in 1984 and is often credited with popularising the sport. Tony Trujillo from Santa Rosa is noted for his aggressive style, fuelled no doubt by his favourite heavy metal music. Anthony 'AVE' Van Engelen has been a professional since 1999 at the age of twenty-one, and has now established his own skateboard manufacturing company. Other riders include Lance Mountain, Ishod Wair, Dennis Busenitz, John Cardiel, Eric Koston, Evan Smith, Jamie Foy, Shane O’Neill, Theotis Beasley, Erik Ellington, Andrew Reynolds, Sean Malto Guy Mariano, Chris Cole and Thrasher’s current Skater of the Year, Mason Silva - to name but a few!
The company’s first video, “Spitfire”, was released in 1993 and featured, amongst many others, legends Ed Templeton, Jonas Wray, Jamie Thomas, Jason Dill and Julien Stranger. Regular video parts followed as either Welcome to the Team videos or as promotional videos for new product releases with stand out parts being Andrew Reynolds' introduction part, Mike Mo Capaldi’s introduction part (a mock "Sponsor-me" video) and Daewon Song's promotional video for the "Enter the Daewon" signature wheel model. It’s always a treat when a new Spitfire video drops and they never disappoint.
