Origin of the Name -- Lizard Skins: "There were two original founders, myself and Lance Larson. Lance sold out to me in 2001. Lance's brother was working on a project for a college class that involved creating a name and a logo for a company. He came up with the name Lizard Skins and the original yin and yang style logo. He didn't have any actual company in mind when he created the name and logo he just thought it would be a cool name and catchy logo. Not sure how well he did on the assignment but I would give him an "A" if I were the teacher. After about one year, Lance asked if he could use the name and logo for a company.Lance's brother said 'sure'." Company Beginnings: "It was extremely small. When we started, we could fit the entire business on one table. Our first ad was a twelfth page for Mountain Bike Action magazine. We had to race to FedEx to get it sent out and barely met the deadline for it. We immediately started receiving calls from the ad before we were even really ready to take them. If we had missed that ad deadline, Lizard Skins might have never taken off."
