Ride On! is easily the best skate shop in Washington. Any skaters in Washington shopping at other skate shops need to switch. They have a great selection and their service is excellent. Anyone visiting Washington should stop by there and see it. Late.

Around here, if you want to LOOK like a skateboarder, then the board shops are perfect. However, if you are looking for actual equipment, you're better off buying online, because they don't have enough room in the stores due to all the freakin clothes, hats, and other crap.

Yeah, I know Evolve, but it's pretty much a surf-typee place (i.e.: selection leaves something to be desired) and it's not in the D. City per se, but rather in the preppie suburbs.
I'd just like to see a dedicated hardcore skate shop with longboards, slalom, pool/bowl decks, all the gear and wheels, maybe some literature and community involvement, a place for skaters of all ages to hang, maybe a quarter or halfpipe, slalom run, and okay, maybe some popsicle stick shortboards. I think it would kick, and the city has nothing, but nothing remotely like that. Yet, there *are* skaters, and there *are* lots of youth in the city wasting their time, a lot of it blowing each other away. I'd rather see them skate is all. I think there is probably a huge unserved market for a quality skate shop in D.C.
Word up to the online skate brokers if you're looking to invest in an actual space.

hey WesE,
Was there a post before the DC shops cont? I know of migrationboards, but I'm talking a brick and mortar type place where you can drop in and get some bearings or speed cream, or check out new boards and setups and such--so the bane of online sales. Seems like with the number of skaters slalomers apparently around here (I don't know--I don't slalom) the place is just ripe for a longboard/slalom renaissance.

This place is pretty cool.
I ordered a set of Seismic 157's from these guys a few days ago. They said they did'nt have any in stock (some kind of mix up with UPS and a whole order was lost or something)
So Jeff @ Bozi, gave me several options. He had a slightly used set he would sell me at an extremely reduced cost, or some other options that were even sweeter. I probably should'nt say what they were because others might expect to get the same kind of service and I can't imagine anyone staying in buisness and doing this on a regular basis, so I won't say.
Anyhow....one of there options was even to recommend going to Solidskate or Longskate! Which I thought was pretty big of them.
So, I have'nt recieved the stuff yet and can't say what it's like but so far they've really been great.

Modern is indeed a great shop. I believe they cary Flexdex as weel as a pretty complete line of longboards. I think they have two locations in the Metro-Daytwah area, as wll as a pretty decent park.
On Wednesday nights (from 9-midnight) the park is only open to skaters over the age of 19, called "fossil night".
I agree with Tom, They do have some sweet little Bettys that work there.

This is by far the best skate shop in the metro-detroit area. it carries all kinds of bearings and bushings. it carries harbinger pads, sector 9 stuff, mainly boards, and best of all gravity boards. this place really rocks, and it is in a good local. not to mention its competitive pricing and hot chicks that work there. i recommend a visit for any one who lives in the metro-detroit area.
thanks

I just ordered some of my favorite wrist guards, ProDesigned, I know I can order direct but the communication between the manufacturerr and the buyer (me) isn't that strong.
So I ordered them from poolskater.com.
I've ordered before from poolskater.com and I'll order again because Mark tells me when my check arrives and when it shipped. Thanks for the OUTSTANDING service.

I take back everything i said that wasnt GREAT about these guys. Darren called me and appologized for the packaging mess and explained how some things had happened that shouldnt have. he even said he'll replace the deck i got (the one with the nicks and dings) with a new one and let me keep the one i have...unbelievable! He's taking care of some stuff with the length of shipping which he agrees was an "unacceptable amount of time". He even called fedex to find out what their problem was. I feel bad I had a poor experience with them in the first place but Darren has completely fixed any issue i had. These guys are real gentlemen and certainly deserve every penny they make! bravo.

If your in the Detroit area stop into The Windsurf Company. Over the last couple of years they are strarting to see that the appeal for longboarding is real. They carry the obvious Sector9 completes but also Fiberflex. They seem to stock Indy 215s and regularly carry 65-76mm wheels. If youre new to the sport or live in the area stop in and tell them the Ghetto Glders sent ya.

I ordered my landyachtz chief from them about two weeks ago and got it today. I was hoping it would be here sooner because I have read that they are very speedy, but i suppose with all the crap going on in the states everything gets a bit slowed down. no big deal. What WAS a big deal however was the packaging! The two trucks all wrapped in packing tape and with nothing between them and the deck. so now i have a couple of ugly little scratches and nicks on an otherwise beautiful board. i now looks shouldnt matter too much but i like pretty things. This mess was wrapped in a sheet of cardboard and taped up like a mofo. TWO AXLES WERE PIERCED THROUGH THE CARDBOARD WHEN I GOT IT! boooo to that. I was pretty worried that the threads would be messed up or an axle would be bent a bit. no problems though, thank god. I was also a bit dissapointed that the chief i got (the plain one, not the one with the indian art on it) wasnt the deep dark wood color that i see on the websites, it is maple colored. that isnt their fault though. Everything turned out ok in the end (except the annoying scratches and nicks). I wouldnt advise anyone to not buy from them, in fact I probably would if i couldnt get it at solidskate or longskate for the same price. Just dont set your expectations too high. they are ok but not A+ quality.
ps. awesome board!

I ordered some RII trucks from these guys and they came the next day - they e-mailed me the shipping info and everthing, and the price was decent. I think they have a pretty good operation over there, good customer service and all.
