Enjoi Skateboards: 14 Things You Didn't Know About Enjoi - a podcast by Shredz shop

In this episode we talk about how Enjoi started, A-Team, Rodney Mullen, Marc Johnson, Bag Of Suck, and soooo much more.



Marc Johnson created Enjoi out of a desire to be a part of a skateboard brand that was all about fun. Stuck on Rodney Mullen's brand A-Team with Gershon Mosley and others, Marc felt that it was time for a change.   Forming Enjoi, Marc brought on his roommates Louie Barletta and Hsu, as well as Dave Mayhew (creator of the Osiris D3) and others. After some time, Marc was again feeling the pressure of corporate responsibility, and decided to leave, to join Chocolate. Rodney left also in this time, leaving to start Almost skateboards with his good friend, Daewon Song.   Marc left the company to Matt Eversole, who had contributed to many of enjoi's iconic ads over the years. In this time, they pushed hard to film Bag of Suck: Enjoi's most iconic and recognizable team video. This video won Enjoi Transworld's video of the year award, as well as winning Louie video part of the year.   Eversole, after time, left Enjoi due to differences with the company. Louie stepped up as the leader of Enjoi, bringing together the team to film Over Vert.   Over the years, the team has included heavy hitters such as Cairo Foster, Jeremy Hsu, Weiger, Chris Cole, Chris Dobstaff, Blue Turner, Ben Raemers, Thynan Costa, Jackson Pilz, among talented others.   Enjoi has taken part in Thrasher's King of the Road for a number of years, claiming the prize in 2006, with Jackson Pilz as MVP.   To learn more about the Ben Raemers foundation, or to donate, head to:  https://benraemersfoundation.com
