About Fourstar:
Founded by Eric Koston and Guy Mariano in April 1996, as the pair sought to move beyond cargo pants and T-shirts to create affordable clothing for skateboarders. As of March 2013, the company sponsors a team that includes Tony Trujillo, Shane O’neill, Ishod Wair, and Andrew Brophy. Five video productions have been made for the brand: Gang of Fourstar (2009)—filmed during a European tour)—A Tribe Called Mapquest (2008), Catalog Shoot (2005), Super Champion Funzone (2005), and Crocodile Done Deal (2014).
Brophy explained in October 2013 that he was sponsored by the brand through its United Kingdom distributor while he was living in London prior to attaining professional status with Cliché Skateboards. Brophy was then asked to join a Canadian tour with the Fourstar team after he returned to his native country of Australia and was recruited as a team member afterward.
Cory Kennedy accompanied the team of the skateboard apparel company Fourstar during the “Crocodile Done Deal” Australian tour in February 2014. A video narrated by the brand’s cofounder, Eric Koston, was then published in March 2014 announcing Kennedy’s recruitment to the Fourstar skateboard team. Koston explained:
He was chasing us with his camera; he was always in the way; eating shit; last to the bus; last off the bus; fought nasty; rode the worst board; stole our hats; hung his shit everywhere; never put down the “jam box;” was a “cop magnet;” ruined our grip; ruined our bearings; didn’t take skating seriously; thought he was the coolest; bleeding all the time; slammed right on top of me; and we put him on the team anyway. Welcome to Fourstar Cory … you dipshit.
Prior to 2014, Kennedy was already a team member of Girl and Royal Trucks.
