Unit.





The spirit of Gullwing's Street Shadow.

Unit was started in the late 1990s by Syndrome Distribution, the umbrella name for Zorlac, Status, DNA, and a few other companies. They launched a new truck design called the Phantom in 2000. It very much kept with the marketing idea at the time that trucks should be scary, as was the case for Monster and Kre-Per.

My local still carries Unit Skate tools. Didn't know they used to have trucks as well.
