Shiner LTD was one of the first companies importing skateboard products into the UK in 1976 with brands like Lotus, Kryptonics, Gullwing and Sims.
By 1979 and with the overnight demise of skateboarding by ’78, Shiner diversified into BMX and Roller skating (or Quad Skating as it is known now).
1983 to 86 saw the underground revival of skateboarding when the boards got wider and the attitude got more hardcore, Shiner were there supporting the core scene by sponsoring riders and kick starting skateboard media coverage in the BMX mags (Remember the “Skate Action supplement in BMX Action Bike? Which later evolved into Sidewalk magazine) also ‘83 saw the introduction of Sims snowboards to the UK market by Shiner.
1987 Shiner were the first company to introduce inline skates to the UK market with the “Rollerblade” brand and later on “Roces”
Over the last 29 years we have continued to support our brands and the sports that go with the stuff we sell by sponsoring riders at the grass roots level, supporting shop based local events, a comprehensive advertising programme, and organising Pro tours like the Bones Brigade tour back in the day and more recently visits from the Valo inline crew and Krooked summer tour.
Now to date Shiner Ltd has gathered a dedicated group of riders/reprobates from the Sales office to the Warehouse floor that are ready to advise and sell you the best products for your requirements and have fun in doing so.
