Bones Wheels

Bones Wheels was founded in 1976 in Santa Barbara, California by George Powell as part of the broader Powell Peralta skate-industry parent company. The brand has been one of the defining post-1976 American-anchored skate-wheel manufacturers, with the iconic Bones STF (Skate Park Formula) and Bones SPF (Skatepark Formula) urethane skate-wheel formulations anchoring the broader brand cultural position across decades of professional-skateboarding use. The Bones Wheels vocabulary settled around several specific products: the iconic Bones STF (Skate Park Formula) urethane skate-wheel programme (the brand's defining 1990s-era performance-skate-wheel product), the Bones SPF (Skatepark Formula) wheel variant (designed for skatepark riding), the Bones ATF (All-Terrain Formula) wheel variant (designed for street-skating on rough surfaces), the iconic Bones Bearings programme (the broader Bones bearing-and-bushing product line), and a colour palette anchored to washed-white urethane (the brand's defining wheel colour), washed-black, oxblood, ecru, plus the brand's recurring use of saturated red, electric-blue, and the iconic 1990s-American-skate-aesthetic accent combinations. The brand is independent and held by Powell through the broader Skate One Corporation (the Powell-Peralta parent company that also operates Powell Peralta Skateboards and Mini-Logo). Bones Wheels distributes through skate-shop wholesale globally — including Supreme, Slam Jam, Civilist Berlin, FTC, the broader US-and-European skate-shop network, and the Japanese skate-specialty retailers Beams, Ships, United Arrows, and the broader Japanese skate-specialty distribution. The brand has been one of the defining post-1976 American-anchored skate-wheel brands.
