Founded by Robert Blazek, Kris Burkhardt, Masa Sun, and Chris Ramos, 2 Riser Pads is an independent, core skateboard brand that brought a fresh perspective to a long-overlooked accessory. Stepping into a highly specific niche, the brand quickly built a dedicated following through a unique mix of internet humor, artistic collaborations, and high-quality product videos.

2 Riser Pads is famous for creating the industry's first graphic riser pads, introducing custom designs, colors, and pro-model risers for notable skaters like Frankie Decker and Nick Michel. Known for their signature blue colorway, they successfully turned a strictly functional hardware piece into a sought-after piece of skate style, even landing high-profile collaborations with major brands like Vans.
