If you're living outside the U.S. and can't find some decent decks, gear, or completes in the country or area you live in, visit the SolidSkate site. This online skate shop ships internationally, has a great lineup of items, and the service is excellent: emails promptly answered, payment procedures easy and efficient – if you have a credit card, that is - and packaging and shipping done quickly.
I ordered a set of trucks, wheels, and bushings that I couldn't find or were extremely expensive in Japan where I live and I received them within six days by US Postal Service Air Mail (though this may differ on how long it takes to get through your local Customs).
I know that there are people who have had difficulty in (or were not able to) seeing the SolidSkate site; as a matter of fact, I also had some trouble in this aspect on my Mac. I wrote to Glen at SolidSkate about this and he answered (again, very promptly) that he understood the problem and would be working to get the Flash off of the homepage.
For the international longboarder, I recommend SolidSkate as the place to shop.
Thanks Glen!

Mwanawimbi-- In toronto, check out Hogtown extreme sports on King Street downtown. They are nice, have a pretty good selection, easy to get to. Along Queen st. and spadina, there are several skateshops--nothing to write home about longboard-wise, though. Prices are steep anywhere in Canada compared to the U.S., though (and I'm talking converted dollars).

Thanks Dave, but Calgary is far from Toronto! I don't live in Canada and will only go there for my job.
I was told by a guy from Quebec that Toronto shops sucked. I hope he's wrong, 'cause Canadian longskate prices are not European prices...
So, again, any help? Thanks again.

Ok, I'm going to continue this thread a bit more.
There are people who do not use Internet Exploder or Netscrape. Really. Surprised? Those people do not have the (dis?)ability to view the latest bell-and-whistle-enabled websites. When you decide to put anything but pure HTML to your on-line skateshop's website you are driving away customers. SolidSkate has lost a few hundred dollars worth of turnover because of the stupid flash animations on their website. How do I know this? Because I was unable to surf the site and buy stuff.
Putting that kind of stuff on your website is like not allowing people in sneakers to enter a fast food joint. I know you think Java-menus and Flash-animations are cool and dandy but they the only thing they achieve is make web surfing even more slow than it should be.
Forget Java, Flash and especially JavaScript. The two first don't work in all your customers' computers and the last is just a buggy piece of crap.
Saying "most people are happy with the site" is the worst thing you can say. Next you're propably telling that we should all skate new school popsicles because most people are happy skating those. Right?

Besides Evolve, which is okay in a pricey sort of Bethesda rich-boy surfer and snowboarder kind of way, and the way cool people but out of the way skateshop in College Park, D.C. residents relying on public transportation may also choose to visit the Smash! record store at the far end of Georgetown. Punk Rock and Georgetown to me seem to be a funny sort of combination (trust fund punkers?), but whatever. The skate shop is way in the back of the record store. Typical shortboard stuff/setup, i.e.: forget about decent wheels, risers, mounting hardware over 1", trucks bigger than 155, etc. But a skateshop it is, and it did sell some Deathbox action. Probably because of the circle-A, but again, whatever.
P.D.'s in Vancouver is core, has been around for ages, and the people there, when they're not sportin' 'tude, are super cool, devoted 100% skater-types. P.D. the owner is one of these, and does his part to embrace longboarding and slalom in the merch he sells and the boards he makes, otherwise known as Skull Skates. Just wish their prices were a bit less steep. You also get the added bonus of being one with the hoi-polloi--I should say hosoi-polloi--punks of Canada as you put stains into Skull Skates shirts (also becoming somewhat trendy among hipsters, what) and shred those Skull Skates decks. I always saw punks on Commercial with trashed Skull Skates decks, the tails half ground away.

ok, had a freelance gig on the upper east today and stopped by there to see what bushings they had in stock. wow, they have a loaded deck (mmmm...flexy), most of the fiberflex line including slalom and longboard decks. They also have randalls and tracker RTX and RTS trucks. the prices are a bit high, but it is the big city.
it's located on york ave between 85th and 86th streets

Which Athens? (please say Ohio. I know of no longboard shop around the southeastern Ohio tri-state area. There's only one skate-shop and the guy's extremely cool, but with the exception of Deathbox, doesn't have too much for the old guys!!)
