The Back Forty.


The future is so bright that you have to wear shades.

This is one of those total headscratcher ads. I think the Back Forty was something Marc Johnson did out of Crailtap. I'm not sure if it was ever intended to be a board brand or was simply Marc being silly. Chris Roberts and Kenny Anderson were also on what I guess would be the team. Kenny did have a skateboarding sequence ad a couple months later. I don't think the project lasted more than a year.

I did a little internet research. The Back Forty made t-shirts, hats, etc. The thing was around from 2014-2016.There is a video that goes with this ad. It's the absolute worst thing you can imagine on so many levels.
