Mark Gonzales started Krooked in 2002 with the help of Tommy Guerrero and Jim Thiebaud. With Krooked being the inception of skateboard legend Mark Gonzales, of course the Gonz's creative scribbles and artwork underpin the graphics to Krooked Skateboards. Mark's creative touch to Krroked is effortless and genius at the same time, demonstrated in the way he spells out Krooked's iconic brand slogan "Get it Strait, ride Krooked".

Mark put together a rad team of skateboarders in Bobby Worrest, Dan Drehobl, Mike Anderson, Sebo Walker and Brad Cromer. Adding Ronnie Sandoval and Matt Gottwig to the roster in the past few years.
