Plan B Skateboards was founded in 1991 by Mike Ternasky with the help of Steve Rocco and his company Dwindle Distribution, which was home to World Industries and Blind Skateboards, among others. Mike had recently left H-Street Skateboards with plans to start a "Skateboard Super Team". In the early 90's, skateboarding was on the upswing. The value of skating, which had prevailed until then, became less and less popular and more and more skaters took to the streets. During this time, street skateboarding experienced an incredible wave of innovation and the Questionable Video released in 1992 showed this development like no other. In this video, skaters of the world saw tricks that were previously unimaginable. The level of skating paired with the new, technical flip tricks was unimaginable until then.

The team then consisted of Rick Howard, Danny Way, Colin McCay, Rodney Mullen, Mike Carroll, Sean Sheffey, Pat Duffy, Matt Hensley, Sal Barbier and Ryan Fabry.
