RDS Originated in Vancouver British Columbia in Canada, RDS was a skateboard crew that opened their first skate supply store in 1996. The company has since exploded and in is notorious among skateboarders worldwide.“We’ve had opprotunities to take the brand to certain places or sell to certain places and we never do. Our mission not to make the biggest company in the world.We’re a Canadian Company. The logo, the brand- it’s something genuine to us.”  Colin Mckay
