Autobahn

When Autobahn was founded in 2001, most wheel companies didn't even mention what hardness their wheels were. It was a sea of skulls and fire. In Autobahn's view, skateboarding was simple physics. Weight distribution. Timing. Focus. We wanted to bring technology back into the wheel conversation. Nearly 15 years later, it seems skateboarders wanted the same. Our wheels are designed purely with their end function in mind. Autobahn continues to develop new formulas and shapes to improve upon years of quality levels being raised. Specific, high-performance urethane formulas are poured into functional shapes designed to outperform the best of the best. Autobahn has not and will never waver from its goal of creating the most durable and functional skateboard wheels you can buy.

Autobahn - The History Behind the Innovative Wheels

Jerry Madrid started shaping surfboards in the late 1960s in his parents' garage in Southern California. This late 60s period was a vibrant time for surfing culture, and Jerry spent many hours riding the waves. When the waves were not good for surfing, Jerry shaped skateboards for him and his friends, which allowed them to enjoy their love for riding even when the surf was flat. By 1976, Jerry, who was also maintaining his role as a firefighter, took a significant step forward by officially launching his own business with his brothers Jim and Jeff.
