10/15/25: NB# AT PLUS! 
Yesterday was truly a special day for the shop!  The New Balance team rolled through and they had a HEAVY crew of legends on the trip!   Andrew Reynolds, Jamie Foy, Tiago Lemos, Clyde Singleton!...just look at the flyer!

 

So many amazing skaters.  It was really cool to meet some of these people for the first time and to reconnect with others who haven't been to the shop in a few years.    

As you may or may not know, we enjoy drawing on our paper shopping bags so you can leave with some art from the shop along with whatever you bought in the bag...   It's a great outlet for art and we know our customers enjoy it.  All that is to say, we drew a bag of each skater on the NB team and asked them to sign the bags.  They were pretty stoked on it!   The bags are available to you for free with purchase so cruise up, you might get a signed Andrew Reynolds bag!  Frame it!

9/23/2025:  LISTING MY BOARD COLLECTION ON EBAY
 
I've gotten to the age where I am no longer looking to hoard skateboards in hopes of someday selling them or displaying them all in my basement or whatever I thought I was going to do with HUNDREDS of boards.  I just wanted them!  The art on them is awesome or maybe I thought they'd be worth something one day based on the artist who did the graphic?  Either way, they are getting put up on ebay as I type this.  So maybe go check it out?   Some of them, I may put on the site here so also keep an eye out for those if you're into it...

 

9/19/2025: NEW BLOG 

I'm trying to switch up the site a bit to include this blog which I hope to be a regular feature for anyone who wants to check out what's going on, a more detailed opinion of what we have in store, and what I might want to rant about.   

I enjoy writing and I always enjoyed writing blog posts back in the day prior to social media when you needed to go to a companies website to read the blog!  I kinda lost interest in it or mostly thought it was a waste of time so I stopped but now I'm back at it!  Probably more for me to have a written (typed) outlet but we'll see where it goes...  

Tomorrow is the 25th annual Fall Classic.  I think it's the 25th.  We didn't do one during COVID so maybe it's the 24th?  Either way, it's gonna be fun and I'll type all about it in the next blog post.  If somehow you read this before tomorrow, go check it out!   

Lot's of new stuff in the shop!  Probably too much for this time of year but that's good for you!!!   Cruise up and see what we have IN PERSON!
