After Vision fell apart and a short stint on Planet Earth, Ken Park started One More Skateboard Company. He also created the Phat Klown Clothing Company. The team for One More included Ken, Jason Carney, Brian Tucci, June Cate and Jeff Davis. The riders for Phat Klown were Matt Hensley and Alan Petersen.
Judging by the ads that ran in Transworld, One More lasted about six to eight months. I feel sorry for Ken. He went from a reasonably respected vert pro of the 1980s to having a failed attempt at a skateboard start up in the early 1990s. One More's name comes up every so often and I figure this sheds a little light on the company.

I know they made a video back in the day. I'm thinking 1991, maybe super early 92. Super obscure. Someone's gotta find it and upload it. The copies are out there.
Don't think there is a video
I absolutely loved phat klown and 1more.
I had a phat klown "skateboarding is a crime but it's more fun that way" t-shirt that i wore until it disintegrated and 1more boards had a great shape just before everything went popsicle. They had a buy one get one free deal. 90 to 92 was truly a great time in skateboarding. H-Street, Life, A1 Meats, New Deal, Blockhead, Powell, Santa Cruz, Planet Earth all released these life changing videos.
Thank you for your post.
