Shorty’s have been in the game since 1991 and started out as a simple skateboard hardware company making bolts, bearings and bushings. But in 1996 things exploded and the brand became one of the biggest board companies in the world with Chad Muska heading up their team. But after 10 years of hard work Tony Buyalos, the owner of Shorty’s decided to take a break and wind down the board division of things. Now Shorty’s is back to it’s roots and still pumping out Doh Doh's , Black Panthers and Silverado Bolts.
