New Shop Tactis Sk8 Shop
On 4/11/2008 Zuzanna wrote in from United States  (67.172.nnn.nnn)

I wanted to get my boys into skating and racing. The guys at Tactis Sk8 shop really helped me out. They have some pretty cool new boards and were very helpful making sure I spent my money the right way. I would totally recommend them and let everyone know they are beginner and kid friendly and will spend a lot of time working through exactly what you'd expect and need.

Good shop good people
On 1/9/2008 Kyle Taylor wrote in from United States  (69.229.nnn.nnn)

Central Coast Surfboards in San Luis Obispo, CA has a wide selection there. I bought my new board there. It was a Sector 9 "off the wall" board. Anyway the guys there are nice and pretty cool. Bottom line they're really cool there and would go to far extents to get you what you want.

Skates on Haight
On 12/18/2007 Chris Miller wrote in from (75.161.nnn.nnn)

So, I was in SF last week and I wanted to check out Skates on Haight. I went in expecting to buy a deck and they were so busy with their computers, they couldn't even acknowledge I was there. The woman finally talked with me for a minute. I asked the guy there about a deck on the wall, and rather than getting it down so I could check it out, maybe even treat me like a human, he (without even looking up) looks the deck up on his computer and gives me the dimensions.

We finally left without buying anything at all. I've ordered 2 decks before from Skates on Haight, but no more.

Purple Skunk
On 12/14/2007 Antoine from France and Oz wrote in from Australia  (130.130.nnn.nnn)

I found in Purple Skank what I had looked for on two other continents and for 5 long years : Decksand gear that simply aren't imported in Australia.
That's already pretty good, but if you add to this the friendliest staff I've seen in any skateshop, and also very knowleadgeable, and THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRY A SIMILAR BOARD BEFORE BUYING ? Hey, who else does that ? Try your new ride before you buy it.
Oh, I forgot the most important : no tears when comes the time to pay ! Hey, in Oz I got a decently crappy Sector9 for 350$, and I got at PurpleSkunk a Landy with my dreamed-of gear for ... 200bucks ! beat that !
If you love skate and you're anywhere S-F, IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH THE DETOUR !

nicks is like the only place in pleasant hill that sells skate equipment it is not that bad for being in a town with only 5000 to 10000 people so if u need skate equipment in pleasant hill this is the place to go (:

What else can I say, but great people to deal with. Had a UPS problem and Lizzie and crew jumped on it. Great business practices. I’m 44 live on eastern shore of MD. I am a long boarder (biggest kid in the group). My new 75 mm Avila Purple wheels (my board looks like a steam roller from the rear) and purple skunk rollers, just flat out ROLL! You will see more orders, no doubt! Thanks for all you help and professionalism. Bakeboy

Some of you may not be aware of Big John Van Hazinga's of Ridin High Skateboard Shop in Burlington, VT, head injury from earlier this summer so here is a link to a blog that his sister is updating. Also is a link to his Myspace page where you can find updates on fund raisers and other things going on.

Please keep Big John in your thoughts and prayers and if you can please support their fund raising efforts. His road to recovery is going to be long and expensive and he can use any help he can receive.

hey herbn do you have any gumballs in stock? I need a new pair for munnsville and probably shouldn't have waited so long before running down there. what's your stores phone #? over a gate hill a while back and got up to 53mph. I was disappointed though because my trucks were just a bit too far over the twitchy side for me to tuck harder, couldn't fix them cuz I forgot my skate tool at my house, POOP! anyway I'll try to get over to the shop this week to pick up some new wheels.
