John J. II – CEO
Formed the townskate franchise in July of 2009 with a vision to build a brand centered around skating and board sports. In the early days of filming, John J. would film local in-line skaters, bmx riders, and skateboarders. The scope soon expanded to embarking on the incredible journey of longboarding, a pastime formed and ingrained in the community of Flushing, MI. The Longboard Legends were born shortly afterward, with a multitude of projects to follow. The first major project, a Longboard Movement was produced in July of 2017, solidifying a focus on longboarding and downhill sports.
