In this episode, we sit down with Daniel and Brian, the legendary duo behind Stardust Skateshop, to talk about the world of skateboard brands, the business behind the boards, and why they believe Baker Skateboards and Anti-Hero Skateboards are the best skate companies in the game. 🛹

From the gritty street style of Baker Skateboards, founded by pro skater Andrew Reynolds, to the raw, anti-establishment energy of Anti-Hero, created by skate legend Julien Stranger, this video is a must-watch for anyone who loves skateboard culture, brand history, and real talk from the people who run one of the most respected local skate shops in the scene.
