Bronze 56k Skateboard Decks & Apparel
Founded by Peter Sidlauskas in New York City, Bronze 56k emerged from the intersection of art school aesthetics and genuine street skating, creating a brand that treats skateboarding as legitimate cultural expression rather than just athletic activity or lifestyle marketing. The brand gained credibility through team riders who combine technical ability with creative approaches to street skating that emphasize spot selection, video production quality, and aesthetic sophistication that separates Bronze from typical skateboard marketing approaches. Sidlauskas's background in graphic design and video production results in content that influences skateboarding's visual culture while supporting skaters who represent genuine progression rather than just demographic appeal. Their video output showcases New York street skating through production approaches that demonstrate understanding of both skateboarding progression and artistic sophistication, proving that skateboard companies can maintain cultural credibility while supporting legitimate skating advancement. Bronze appeals to skaters who appreciate artistic sophistication and creative approaches to skateboard graphics and video production without sacrificing the genuine skating credibility that separates legitimate skateboard companies from lifestyle brands that appropriate skateboarding aesthetics without supporting actual skaters.
