Frequently Asked Questions

Is BBS taking on any new customers?

BBS is an OEM manufacturer and does not sell to the public. We are not currently taking on any new customers.

What does BBS stand for?

We tell people that BBS doesn’t stand for anything, and that it’s just BBS, or that it’s an acronym for whatever comes to mind, but of course it does stand for something, just something that doesn’t have the same meaning today as it was intended to have.

 

BBS stands for Bare Back Skateboards, which started as a Longboard Brand in 1996. The original skateboard that we made, and the idea behind the name, was a skateboard that you rode barefoot, and without grip tape. This was all around the time that the internet was just getting started. Within a few years, the internet had exploded, and the Porn Industry cornered the term Bareback. When anyone tried to search up our Skateboard Company, they would get bombarded with Porn Pop Ups and Computer Viruses. By the early 2000’s we had abandoned running the Longboard Brand in favor of OEM Manufacturing, so we dropped Bare Back Skateboards to just BBS.

 

So, if anyone asks, it’s just “BBS”.

Will BBS replace my board if it breaks?

Please try and land "Bolts".

If you suspect that your deck is defective, please check with the board brand in regard to their policies on product warranty.

Which brands do you produce decks for?

We proudly produce decks for some of the most reputable skate brands in the world.

What types of wood and glue do you use to produce your decks?

We use only the highest quality materials to produce our decks. "Hard Rock" maple grown and processed in North America, and glue that was specially formulated for use in skateboard manufacturing. That's the recipe, and we don't compromise.

How many decks do you make?

The quantity of decks we make daily will fluctuate with demand. At last check, we had 1,000+ employees in our production facility.

How high can you ollie?

Higher than your grandma...most likely.
