TGR was founded in 1996 by four friends who were passionate about the mountains and ocean. The vision was to put out products that came from the athletes' perspective, and that were more representative of the youth and progressions taking place in action sports. Today, TGR is one of the fastest growing brands in the action sports industry, producing progressive, cutting edge content and apparel. Working with the top athletes in their respective disciplines, TGR's productions, athletes, and events are seen worldwide through a broad spectrum of media including home entertainment, cable and broadcast television, online, film tours, print, and live events.

"TGR has what everybody wants," explains Backbone partner Penn Newhard.
