PODIUM
On 10/1/2006 PSR wrote in from United States  (69.165.nnn.nnn)

If you're up in Southern Vermont, take moment to stop by the PODIUM Skateboard/Snowboard Museum and Shop in Manchester, Vermont. You'll find things in there from our past that'll truly blow your mind!
However, this shop also has it's eye on the Future...

I want to thank both Nick Pedemonti and Ross Powers for their support this year with sponsorring Adam Schwippert. It's rare that a shop will invest in a Racer on Snowboard, even rarer for a Racer who Skateboards. Adam does both (he'll be focusing on Freestyle on Snowboard this season), and PODIUM stepped up and chipped in.

Nick also is stoked on the Ball Mountain Dam Slalom Race, and has contributed a bit for that. Nice to have a shop nearby that understands the sports it's involved in. Even better when they actively Support those sports.
Thanks again guys for Everything!!

skateshops....we wanna hear from you
On 8/28/2006 Michael Brooke wrote in from Canada  (67.70.nnn.nnn)

I know a lot of folks who read this forum either manage/own shops or are quite friendly with those who manage or own skate shops...please let them know about this new program.

Over the past number of years, I have heard from a number of skateshops about what's on their minds...the good, the bad and the ugly. Since Concrete Wave is NOT a retailer and we are NOT a manufacturer, we are in a unique position to communicate with both groups.

Constructive criticism and feedback is VITAL - it keeps customers happy and it keeps things moving forward. But there are times when people are somewhat worried about speaking their minds.

I believe I have come up with a way that ensures shops have the freedom to say what's on their minds without fearing retribution.

And so, I bring you a new Monthly Newsletter called Voice of the Shops.

There are only 4 things you need to know about this newsletter:

1. it's free to shops and those who make/market skate products


2. it's going to be written by folks who run/own/manage shops


3. it's 100% confidential - we will keep your name/email off the actual articles (unless you want it there)


4. the newsletter will be sent to shops if they ask for it and it will be sent to skate companies.

It is my hope that by airing some of the issues, shops will see an improvment in things like:

1.shipping (ie how fast orders are turned around)

2. distribution

3. advertising

4. promotion

5. quality of product

We want to hear from you on what works, what is not working and what is moving things backward...feel free to email me your thoughts at mbrooke@interlog.com. Look for the first digital newsletter to hit sometime in October.

Best wishes,

Michael

PURPLE SKUNK!
On 7/28/2006 Ethan wrote in from United States  (69.181.nnn.nnn)

PURPLE SKUNK is the coolest shop ever! It has the best longboards and old school boards. Lizzie and Rodney are very nice and helpful people. Even though its a small shop they have the coolest selection of boards i've ever seen. I definetely suggest that if your in San Francisco you should check out the Purple Skunk. You can get more info on the Purple Skunk website.

Hey, if you are anywhere near Springfield, MO and are in need of a longboard call or stop in at the Springfield Skatepark. The number is 417 868-8758. I just got my board there about two weeks ago and it is SICK! The park is worth a visit if you haven't been there.

Awesome Purple Skunk
On 7/7/2006 Clyde Tahara wrote in from United States  (24.221.nnn.nnn)

Dex and Zach Stanley visited the awesome Purple Skunk with their Dad Wednesday afternoon, July 5th, 2006. They live in Monroe, North Carolina, and were visiting San Francisco for the first time. Zach is six years of age, and Dex recently turned 12. They want to thank Ms. Lizzie, Godzilla, and Timmy at the Purple Skunk for their superb and attentive service to youngsters! Ms. Lizzie and her staff made Dex and Zach feel very special. Their skateboards from the Purple Skunk are their prized possessions!
With heartfelt thanks,
Clyde

Attached are two shots that you kindly let us take with you.

With heartfelt thanks,

Yours sincerely,
Clyde

Purple Skunk
On 6/28/2006 Christian wrote in from United States  (64.168.nnn.nnn)

Purple Skunk are amazing. They hooked me up with the greatest deck, and I love how they offer you upgrades on everything you could imagine. Plus, they've supported freestyle, slalom, and longboarding in the Bay Area for years! As if that wasn't enough, if you want to try out the decks before you buy, they're totally cool with that.

If you're ever in San Francisco, stop by the Skunk and check them out.

Thanks Lizzie, and keep rocking,
~Christian

Purple Skunk
On 6/17/2006 Quinn Porner wrote in from United States  (71.139.nnn.nnn)

Purple Skunk rocks the house! Lizzie and her crew are trully awesome. The staff is very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. At Purple Skunk they don't want to just make a sale, instead they want to make sure you are getting the product that is right for you and your budget. The equipment selection is off the hook (probably the most extensive in the Cali) and their prices rock! Now that I found this little gem, I plan to buy all of my future boards from them. If you live out of town check out their website it has everything you need.

Thanks again Lizzie for hooking me up with a great board!

Bonus they even love it if your bring your dog into visit the store.

On 6/8/2006 BFB wrote in from United States  (70.33.nnn.nnn)

Hello, if people are into amazing longboards then people should be into Barefoot Boards. Barefoot boards are a new longboard company in Colorado. They are filled with amazing customization, style,class, and every word you could put with outstanding.They also give the rider the time of their life. Barefoot boards is a little low key comparitivly, but the growth is exponential, they are looking to expand their stores, but need some advertisment and riders. Please give us some feedback. THANKS

Purple Skunk kicks my ass!! I can't enviosion a cooler skating destination in San Francisco, starting with water and a buscuit for my dog! Solid quality products at way more reasonable prices than I'd have ever expected (sorry for bearing the news I'd have paid 2x for my deck!) if they only had more couches and and an ottoman to rest my feet on I think I'd still be there. Thanks folks for an amazing skate shopping experience!
