In the late 1970’s Speaky’s started stocking skateboard gear and supporting local skateboarders in the Geelong region, these skateboarders also helped pioneer Australian skateboarding. Through the 80’s the support grew with Speakys sponsoring up to 15 skaters at a time, in the form of the Speaky’s Skate Team.  Some of Geelong’s best skaters were part of the team. During this period, Speaky’s would support local competitions by providing prizes and competition support and still does today.

In the 90’s skateboarding changed and popularity dropped off. The style changed from bowl and ramp skating to more Street Skating and developed a strong underground movement.  Speaky’s continued to sponsor a small group of skaters during this time and continued to do so through to the early 2000’s, when in about 2010 skate popularity picked up again. This newest change saw street style tricks move back into ramps and bowls which developed into what is known as Park Skating. The year 2020 would have seen both Park and Street skating introduced to the Olympics for the first time.
