Re: Sydney Shops
On 2/16/2005 cosmicr wrote in from Australia  (211.30.nnn.nnn)

Sweden dude....you mean shops in Sydney Australia?
Well from past experience (I haven't been on the longboard scene for the last few years) Surf Shops are the place to find complete longboards setup.
Also in Sydney, you can check out Manly Blades in Manly. They have a few different longboards too.
Some surfshops > check out Surfection (there are a few around different parts of Sydney - Manly, Mosman, Mona Vale, Dee Why, and a few other places) and Surf Dive N Ski - City, Chatswood, Miranda, and heaps more.

As for Randalls, well I haven't seen any in Australia for sale..I had to order mine from the states.

If you need any help let me know

Stay cool

Purple Skunk
On 2/7/2005 Dawn wrote in from United States  (65.227.nnn.nnn)

Wow! I can't say enough about my Internet experience with this shop. I've never received such personalized service over the net. Lizzie's emails were so timely and helpful, it was like dealing with her in person. As a middle-aged woman getting back into skateboarding, I had a few questions. Lizzie offered explanations and suggestions without putting any pressure on me to buy. I eventually did order a longboard, and couldn't be happier with it and the service at Purple Skunk. The extra goodies--magazine and stickers were also a real treat. Kudo's to Lizzie and the crew at Purple Skunk. I don't think I could have done any better than to discover this shop.

Purple Skunk Skate Shop (San Francisco)
On 1/29/2005 Georgie wrote in from Canada  (69.195.nnn.nnn)

PURPLE SKUNK RULES
I can not tell you all just how fantastic it is to deal with Lizzie and Eli at Purple Skunk. Eli styled me out with the sweetest longboard I have ever seen or ridden, and the service and follow-up was out of control. I live 3000+ miles away, but it felt like I was in the shop and everyone knew me and I them. I tip my hat to Lizzie and the team for their dedication and outstanding service. If you need product, look no further, give Purple Skunk a ring. They are simply the BEST!!!

Re:Go Skate / Skateworks
On 1/28/2005 DN wrote in from United States  (24.6.nnn.nnn)

Nick speaks the truth about skateworks, if you want longboard stuff make sure you head to the Mountain View store, that is where my buddy went I found out after the fact.
I went by Blossom Hill tonight and they mostly had standard stuff, 7.75 decks and little hard wheels, standard bearings and hardware, lots of clothes of course.
They had a couple of cool looking cohort decks and a new comet maple 7.75 and a few sets of kryptos, they do carry concussion.
I am confused by the Go Skate thing, didn't the store on Almaden just close a year or 2 ago?

Go Skate / Skateworks
On 1/27/2005 Nick wrote in from United States  (66.87.nnn.nnn)

Go Skate closed its last two stores (SJ Almaden and SC Beach St) in October '93. After 30 years, Dale and Laura felt it was time to move on.

Skateworks in Moutain View carries a good range of old school, slalom, downhill, and longboard products. They carry ABEC11, Big Red X, Biltin, 3dm Sport, Seismic, Randal, Gravity, Black Label, Santa Cruz, etc., as well as the usual stuff. They're on Castro, just south of El Camino.

They also carry Concussion magazine.

I miss Go Skate too.
Skateworks is supposed to be OK, I haven't checked it but a couple of my buddys have, they actually have longboard type stuff, my friend bought strikers and bones reds and they matched a price.
I am gonna take a drive over tonight and look for the new Concussion mag.
Anyone know a shop that carries this in San Jose to tide me over til the subscription arrives?

Purple Skunk Skate Shop (San Francisco)

Rock on "Purple Skunk"
I can't resist but to Shout Out to this Shop, "Purple Skunk". I was once a beginning confused and lost boarder with no direction nor fly board. Lizzie the owner, and her buddy Rodney, an employee, set me up with a killer setup. They stayed till way after the store closed to ensure i was satisfied and to ensure i taken a Demo ride on any board, trucks, and wheels. They were not satisfied till my smile grew to the roof, and i walked away with a beautiful new deck and set Up. Not to mention the prices were unbeatable and the experience overall left me psyched to post up till sunrise and hit the hills with my new Ride.............. Thanks Guys!!!
