Founded in 1960, NASH Skateboards paved the way for skaters the moment they introduced the “Goofy Foot Sidewalk Surfer” from their manufacturing plant in Fort Worth, Texas. It was one of the first original mass produced skateboards and people loved it! Business boomed as they sold in toy stores nationwide. Although they were marketed to kids as a toy, the plastic wheels and metal ball bearings made it a dangerous toy. The NASH Heat Zone skateboard had a completely plastic truck and axle, and the NASH Tenderfoot Wood Skateboard had steel wheels. Ouch if that runs over a toe! Frank Nasworthy's solution led to skateboarding becoming a legitimate competition sport. In 1970, Nasworthy introduced the urethane wheel providing a smoother, faster ride and a more maneuverable skateboard. NASH continued thriving in the skateboard manufacturing business. Although a fire in 2006 destroyed the manufacturing facility, the spirit of skateboarding cultivated by NASH Skateboards lives on in the world of skating and skate competition today.
