“Absolutely loved this place. I needed ONE wheel for my board and the owner gave me a demo on how crappy my old wheels were compared to better quality wheels. He suggested I just get 4 new wheels and replaced them on the spot at a low cost. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. (Plus, he showed me where Tony Hawk signed the doorpost lol.) Will definitely come back if I need to upgrade anything on my board.”

He went over and above what he had to do. I would like to say how thankful and grateful I am and this is now the only shop I will go to or recommend. Don't pass by here stop in you won't be disappointed!!!”

“The owner is the nicest dude on the planet and really knows what he's talking about. Dude's been a skater his whole life and knows exactly what you need. He cares more about the quality of his boards and getting you on them than making money, and I absolutely admire that. I'm going to be getting all my gear from this shop from now on.”
