My business ratings are mostly short and sweet but to the point. When this company popped up on my Google Map icon this evening, I knew this might take a minute . hmm..... I swung into this shop today, it was my type of skate shop, not all fancy and new, an older building but cleaned up, laid out nicely and that true cool skate shop vibe (first plus)! The young guy behind the counter asked me what he could help me with and I told him I was there for skateboard wheels, through the array of Wheels on display, I immediately eyed the only two sets that I would put on a long board. They had them both ? Wow! (2nd plus)! (They also have a nice selection of snowboards and accessories alike). But before I could make a decision as to which one to look at first, he said," I have a suggestion for a wheel and I think you may like it". Even though I bought my first skateboard 44 years ago, Im always open to the suggestion of the guy behind the counter ! He pulled one of the wheels out and at first glance it looked like a very nice Wheel, he handed it to me, as soon as I got it in my hand I thought , hmm I don't even want to know the price of these. They were extremely grippy, decent cores, catchy white and black lettering and sporting my favorite hand gesture ,the ever famous "hang loose". The more that I'm feeling this wheel in my hand the more I'm liking it, the more that I'm not even caring how pricey they are, then he hits me with the price which is like $26 less than what I was planning on spending on wheels that day. SWEET!!!! I need bushings for my trucks, he sets me up and immediately starts swapping out the bushings,(3rd plus)! I was just going to do it when I got home. A younger, new skater to the sport walks in,he has never owned a board, he's got lots of questions . Michael , behind the counter helps out with all of his questions with professionalism and assertiveness, I'm impressed! (4th plus). He throws out some product names to the young guy and I suddenly started to realize just how old I am. finaly!!!! something wasn't a Plus!! Lol ! When he suggested Powell Peralta, I starting counting Back the Years, Stacy Peralta was one of my Idols of a sport that just came on so strong in the mid to late seventies. George and Stacy Joined Forces in 78 I believe and was one of the most successful skating companies in the world. The Bones Brigade was one of the most competitive teams in skateboarding at the time! Thats the feeling the shop emits, in the way that people are going about taking care of everybody's business, I was just totally impressed! The shop is close to 45 miles out of my way but I was down that way and I stopped in and I'm glad I did. I will go 45 miles out of my way just to go back . If they offer you up a few stickers, throw some cash in the jar on the right side of the back counter, it's for charity or some type of cause. I only had 13 bucks in loose cash on me, but it all went in the jar. This was an A+ five star treatment at a small business that I wish I could go in and support everyday! Shops like this are slowly disappearing, its so nice to walk into one like this and get true small business treatment! Much thanks goes to Michael and motion Boardshop!
