Reformation
In 2005, Plan B was resurrected by Way and McKay with the financial backing of Syndrome Distribution, using the same formula as the original Plan B, as a superteam of riders picked from other teams. Among these were Paul Rodriguez Jr. from Girl, Ryan Gallant from Expedition-One, PJ Ladd from Flip Skateboards. Way and McKay maintained their roles as team co-owners/pro skaters. Pat Duffy, Darrell Stanton, and were later added to the pro roster. Ronson Lambert became the team's first amateur, but recently left to ride for World Industries. Wieger van Wageningen became the first international team rider after the demise of his previous sponsor, The Firm, with éS Game of SKATE winner Alex Mizurov joining afterwards. Stanton later left the team for Element Skateboards in August 2006. On January 2, 2007, Plan B made a press release to confirm the addition of Ryan Sheckler to the team.[1] On July 25, 2007 Jereme Rogers became the newest addition to the team.[2]
Plan B debuted their promo film, Live after Death, at the September 2006 Action Sports Retailer Expo. It is viewable online on Plan B's website, downloadable as a Podcast from iTunes, and also included on DVD with the puchase of select Plan B decks. Their first major skateboarding film, Unquestionable, is slated to be released in the future.
