4×4 Urethane is the brain child of Brian Shima and Jon Elliott, together with Chris Haffey.
The group left Mindgame to pursue their own wheel company and to leave their marks on the industry.
In the fall of 2003, with the support and vision of Rat Tail Distribution, their dreams of running a purely skater owned company became reality.
In two short years 4×4 has become the leading provider of aggressive inline skates wheels on the market. Be sure to check out the 4×4 Team Video “Leading the Blind”, which highlights the insanity and progression of our sport by elevating it above the other extreme sports while maintaining the “uber” cool underground lifestyle we maintain.
