The brand sits inside <strong>Bakerboys Distribution</strong> — same family as <a href="/en/baker/">Baker</a>, <a href="/en/shake-junt/">Shake Junt</a> and Heroin.</p> <p>The name comes from the Death Wish movie series (1974–1994), based on Brian Garfield's novel. The deck graphics quote that exact 70s and 80s feel — horror kitsch, punk tattoo, gothic typography, black-and-red skull logos. If that's too much for you, that's the point.</p> <h2>The Deathwish Pro Team</h2> <p>Alongside founders Greco and Ellington, the current Deathwish lineup is a mixed bag of heavy hitters:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Jamie Foy</strong> — handrail destroyer and Thrasher SOTY 2017</li> <li><strong>Jon Dickson</strong> — pro since the Deathwish Video (2013)</li> <li><strong>Neen Williams</strong> — known for symmetrical boards and dreadlocks</li> <li><strong>Pedro Delfino</strong> — speed freak from Brazil</li> <li><strong>Jake Hayes</strong> — technical skateboard magician</li> <li><strong>Taylor Kirby, Slash, Julian Davidson</strong> — rounding out the lineup</li> </ul> <h2>Which Deathwish Decks and Apparel?</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Decks</strong> — available from 7.5" to 8.75". Classics: Gang Logo, Credits, All Screwed Up, plus rotating pro models and series like VHS Wasteland.</li> <li><strong>T-shirts and long sleeves</strong> — mostly Gang Logo prints or gothic lettering, streetwear-ready.</li> <li><strong>Hoodies and sweatshirts</strong> — daily-beater pieces in black, white and the occasional red accent.</li> <li><strong>Caps and beanies</strong> — Gang-Logo patches, snapbacks, cuff beanies.</li> <li><strong>Hardware</strong> — bolts and small accessories, often paired with Shake Junt in sets.</li> </ul> <h2>The Deathwish Videography</h2> <p>If you want to understand Deathwish, watch the videos. <strong>Baker Has a Deathwish</strong> (2008) was the premiere and ran as a Baker 3 spin-off. <strong>The Deathwish Video</strong> (2013) was the first standalone full-length and proved the brand could stand without its sister label. <strong>UNCROSSED</strong> (2021) is the latest full part — tricks at the highest level, no compromises on the soundtrack.</p> <h2>What Pairs Well with Deathwish?</h2> <p>Deathwish riders are usually deep in the Bakerboys world. Check out <a href="/en/baker/">Baker Skateboards</a>, <a href="/en/shake-junt/">Shake Junt</a> hardware and matching <a href="/en/emerica/">Emerica</a> shoes — same crew, same vibe.
