At first I was a little disgruntled as the price of the longboards seemed high, for brands I hadn’t heard of. (Obviously not talking about sector-​9 or Santa Cruz) But, I saw a gem of a cutaway bomber board, and I had to pay the $ 250. I assumed it would feel similar to all the other boards I had used, but after replacing the bearings and taking it for a spin… It is the smoothest ride I have ever felt. By far smoother to ride than a Land Yacht, or Santa Cruz board. I looked up the brand name of the board, and I realized that it was sold to me under market value. I walked out of here happy, with one of the most well shaped sturdy boards I have ever owned.
And the person behind the counter had to spend 30 minutes trying to figure out how to get it down from the top shelf, which included him having to go Assasins Creed style on the rafters, when the ladder wouldn’t reach. After all that, he still wouldn’t accept a tip! I love this place, next time I am in San Jose, I will stop by for sure.

My son and I were visiting from SoCal so we checked out this shop. I was a bit surprised that it was more of a bike shop, but we thought they had quite the variety of decks. My son found a deck he liked, so we bought it. I wasn’t planning on buying a deck for him, but the guy that worked there was awesome and helpful. Hope the owner knows he hired a gem!
