H-Street Skateboards is a skateboard company started by Tony Magnusson and Mike Ternasky in 1987.[1] H-Street garnered popularity through their innovative videos and skating .[2]
Magnusson and Ternasky went to George Hamad to pitch the idea for H-Street. Hamad liked the idea and funded the launch and oversaw the production of H-Street. H-Street was named after a street in Chula Vista, California, where several of the original team riders lived, in the "H-Street House".
In 1991, Ternasky left H-Street to start Plan B Skateboards with World Industries, taking several riders with him.[3] In 1993, Magnusson also left H-Street.[4]
After years of discussion, Magnusson and George Hamad resurrected the H-Street brand in 2008.[5]
