The company was left in the hands of close friends, Danny Way and Colin McKay who made a valiant effort in trying to manage both their own professional skateboarding careers, keep the Plan B operation up and running, plus dealing with the loss of a their best friend.
In 2005, Plan B, in association with Syndrome Distribution, re-launched with an added set of professionally elite skaters. The new team now consists of Paul Rodriguez, Ryan Sheckler, Torey Pudwill, PJ Ladd, Pat Duffy, Colin McKay and Danny Way. These well known pro skateboarders are some of the biggest names around thanks to wins at the Street League, Maloof, Tampa Pro, X-Games, and the Dew Tour.
