Founded in 1986 by skater and scientist Tim Dawe, Cockroach set the benchmark for the skater-made and operated business. Tim was fully dedicated to creating the finest urethane that Aussies could buy as well as sponsoring some of our hottest skaters; O.G shredders like John Gray, Johnny McGrath, Michael Mulhall, Sac Reynolds, Warren Archer and our fallen brothers, Matt Hoffman and John Findlay R.I.P. Australia has always had a rich skate heritage. Our goal is to keep pushing forward while maintaining a healthy dose of respect for our founders and the industry pioneers that paved the way.
