Our History

Brand-X, Toxic & High Energy Skateboards - Part of the Fabric of Skateboard History

In 1974 Patrick's father created the world's first skateboard distribution company, solidifying the Truitt Family as one of the founding families of the skateboard products industry. 

In 1978 we started manufacturing for Kryptonics, and then in 1981, we fully took over all all Kryptonics skateboards manufacturing, as their High Energy line.  Over the next few years, throughout the 1980s, we expanded the distribution business worldwide and purchased Brand-X Skateboards from Bernie Tostenson (the artist who had originally started the company), and we created Toxic Skates, as a spin-off of the PA demo skate group, Team Toxic.

Throughout the 80s and early 90s, we built Toxic, Brand-X and High Energy into major, global brands,  Then (when the skateboard industry changed in the mid 90s), we decided to stopped manufacturing and focus solely on the distribution business.  Decades later, in 2015, Patrick, along with his partner, Amy brought back Brand-X, Toxic and High Energy under their company, Brand-X Skateboards

Today, we continue to proudly make these much-loved global brands, plus American Nomad, Logan Earth Ski, Kanoa and others, using the only the highest quality North American products and workmanship, with personalized customer service, and a true love for the industry and skateboarders worldwide.
