Episode 022 Donald Cassel, The Relaunch of GrindKing Trucks, A truly Independent Truck Manufacturing Company!
Donald Cassel is a skateboarding innovator, he launched GrindKing Trucks back in the 1988 and had a good run and like many of us for various reasons (bad ecomomy, controlled manipulative skateboard tycoons, etc..) ended up shutting down.
After going off and successfully Venturing into other businesses, he is storming back into skateboarding Thunderously (like how I did that, didn't you). From making the original inverted GrindKing allen head King Pin that did not catch or hang up, making one of the first small four hole drill pattern baseplates, to Bridgebolts, and even Termite Skateboards, a brand just for kids Donald was getting lots of stuff done and always trying new things. I have great respect for people who try new things.
We have a nice chat about lots of things you may find interesting about our experiences in the skateboard industry.
