Nice! We have a skate shop in a different city and its part of a pawn shop which our old skateshop closed because it was basicly too poor and it only had about say 4 boards lol! But they could have ordered them.

15 min from here there is a shop that sells bike parts and skateboards, I can't remember its name because its new. But about 30 min away from here there is Krudco. and Hardpact which are a block apart form eachother. At krudco. it is real crammed full of shoes and decks(they sell reall nice shopdecks). The guy that runs/owns it has a krooked eye, his name is Erin(or some spelling of it) and he is a dick. Out side of it there is rails and sketchy people. Hardpact is a shop that sells only quality items like DNA, Deluxe, tumyeto etc. and only a few more popular decks like syndome and dwindle. It is run by nice people, the guy's name escapes me right now. Outside of it there is a nice box, a big ol' cement thing, and a couple rails. I prefer hardpact myself. In the other direction there is a skateshop/skatepark called redplanet. The skatepark is real small but pretty fun and it doesnt get too crammed. The shop sells nice shopdecks and every other deck you can think of. Im sure im missing a few because I live inbetween everyplace. So in anydirection, except north becauseyou would end up in the greatlakes, you run into a skateshop or something skate related.

The shop closest to me is two towns over and is a bicycle/skateboard shop. Everything skateboarding is over priced though and they don't have much of a selection. They want $50.00 for a blank deck! I only go there when I am desperate. But there is a better one in Wichita, KS which is about 30 minutes away. It has more decks, shoes, bearings, wax, etc. at a better price. And they sponsor to.

I hate Zumiez. It bought out Fast Forward.

Fishbone Skateshop. It's ok, but the decks are a little over priced, at $55 to $65. Everything else is okay. Around $40 for a pair of trucks, $25 for wheels, ect.

Well,we have 2.Ones official but the other not to many peeps know about.
The first is just your typical skateashop.Decks,shoes,trucks,clothes.Thats it.
The 2nd is not really a shop, its just a stand at a Flea market.he sells brand new decks for 25$ and skate videos for 5$.I'd rather go there.

There's no skate shops around where I live at all. But about an hour away from my summer house is Ballistic. Its a 2-story skate/snow shop on 170 Water Street in St. Johns water street. I bought my skateboard there yesterday. It's a World Industries "Heavy Metal 2" board with all World Industries Asscessories. Yeah, the stores pretty big and it's really busy from what I saw. People EVERYWHERE! But then again, thats what it's like on Water Street. It's a cool place though.

Then theres Katesskates which is about 60 mins away, thats ok, really big but overpriced.

Bluetubes is 40 mins away. Thats a good place its got good stuff at good prices. Videos playing too.
