Re: Good online skate shop? I used to use ccs.com
..but that was about 7 years ago. Might still be good though.

Re: Good online skate shop? http://www.solitaryarts.com/collections/mini-skate-shop Probably not what you are looking for, but they have nice boards designed by Geoff McFetridge

Re: Good online skate shop? Where in the "shitty south" are you? Local > online any day - and if you're somewhere in Texas I can probably get you some names.

Re: Good online skate shop? Support your local skate shops!!!
If you haven't any around you, CCS.com or activemailorder.com are decent resources, but still corporate giants among the skate industry. More importantly though, never shop Zumiez... online or otherwise. They are wiping out the little guys all over, and replacing them with mall-rat pseudo skaters who can barely grip a deck.
Local if at all possible.
Is there anything you are particularly looking for?

Re: Good online skate shop? I'm in Birmingham, AL... YUCK! ...I'm from Washington DC originally... Anyways, no the only local places here suck. Only a couple crappy mall/ pac sun style skate shops. I was looking for some of the powell peralta throwback stuff... Pretty hard to find so far, besides online places....Thanks for all the help!

EH!! i actually run a pac sun!  and we are one of the few in the company with an actual skate shop in it. compared to local shops were actually pretty decent, albeit probably more expensive..but i get a discount so it doesn't bother me.

Re: Good online skate shop? I'm lucky to have this place in my hometown... These guys are great, and have a huge selection of vinyl on display, Kaws, BxH, RxH etc. They have really good decks, cheap blanks, and some really good prices on skate shoes, and clothing (When on sale) www.thepremierstore.com

Re: Good online skate shop? You might check Skate Warehouse. They have a nice selection of reissues (Powell Peralta and Santa Cruz), and their service is pretty good. www.skatewarehouse.com

Re: Good online skate shop? deadboy wrote: Now we're talking Those are probably the best boards. Still have shape with a nose. Great time too where skateboarding sort of discovered reappropriation. The problem with local skate shops is that they really cater to the younger markets who have no clue what that era was about
