The new Black Label Hosoi is here! Get them while you can because once they are gone their gone for good. Limited numbered for the collector or rideable for the hard core..

Have fun at the pool and skate safely,

Alright guys, I'm sure you've all heard this time and again. So just count this as icing on an already awesome cake, the girls there Patty and Lizzie along with Eli made sure I was well taken care. Even down to reminding me to put some quarters in the greedy meter!

Got to demo at least a good 6 or 7 boards over 2 hours before I finally picked out a well informed choice of a Loaded deck with Randall's 150s, Abec 11 Fly Wheels and Red Swiss bearings. It's a sweet ride (made it down from MLK and University down to San Pablo in just over 2 minutes [almost a mile], nearly killed myself bailing to stop but it was worth it) and I owe it all Purple Skunk.

Top notch and well informed service out of the many ill informed shops *cough* skates on haight *cough* 510 *cough* destination 1440 *cough*

So lots of props to Purple Skunk, and I'll be back soon once I feel the need for speed and the needed sliding gloves!

Life just keeps getting easier. I used to think that it was a cool thing to live only one block away from the best skateboard store I know. This is still a cool thing don't get me wrong, but what is even better is that you are almost as close now too, because they have opened a perfect online store with all the goods for you to order.

Wondering what I'm talking about? Go to www.purpleskunk.com and you will see.

Thanks for all the support skunk team!

Daddies Board Shop
On 6/10/2003 Kolu wrote in from (67.192.nnn.nnn)

STOKED! Just got the new Pumpkin that I ordered from Daddies Board Shop in Oregon. New board in hand (and under foot) in only 4 days to Hawaii from Oregon. That's service! Melanie and Dan were so helpful and so patient with my repeated emails asking questions and looking for advice, trying to get my order perfect. I had a dream board that I've wanted for a long time, and they created it. It turns on a dime, the wheels are smooth, the bearings like butter..... it's PERFECT!! If you want helpful, friendly, fast, super service and a whole lot more.... Who's your Daddy? Daddies Board Shop! 10 thumbs up! Now if only I can find some slide gloves for my funny looking all thumbs hands.....

Aloha....

Vince's Transparent Spam
On 6/4/2003 Nick wrote in from (66.87.nnn.nnn)

Vince, your email address gives you away. If you are going to troll for business on this site, at least don't use your "bodyboy" email address. And try not to quote your website verbatim. Your post sounds like you cut and pasted it from your website.

There's a difference between service and spam:
Service = Purple Skunk; Spam = proskateshop.com.

Vince, can I come into your shop and test ride over 40 completes from all sorts of manufacturers? Can I come into your shop at all? Can you give me buying advice? Do you know how to properly grip a deck, what size spacer to use in an ABEC11 Stinger, what bushings work best in a Randal?

Most importantly, do you carry anything that doesn't come from Rax Distribution? Do you just have Rax drop-ship the orders for you?

Nothing against Rax, but when a someone decides to use their drop-ship feature as a basis for an entire "virtual skateshop", that's not necessarily a good thing.

If you're going to sell online only, at least have the decency to discount beyond what Rax tells you is the suggested retail price. Come on, is it just a coincidence that you both have exactly the same stock, and that you both charge $34.16 for an Indy skate tool belt?

Someone please remind me never to shop at proskateshop.com.

Read the fine print!

"Proskateshop.com is a branch of the internet retail business known as bodyboy.com. We are located in Southern California. Our business hours are 10am-7pm Monday-Friday. We take orders on-line, by mail, and by phone. We are a mail order based business and for this reason we do not allow walk-ins or visitors. "

Because of operations like this the mom and pop shops are dying. Rank these guys right up there with Copelands,etc.. What a freaking joke... I bet they don't even no what a slappy is?

On 6/4/2003 Vince wrote in from (4.65.nnn.nnn)

This is one of the newest skateshops online and as you can see they are certainly one of the best! Low prices, huge selection, fast affordable shipping and is catered to suit even the needs of a professional skater on the go!

This site is also very interactive with skateboarding pictures, forums, news, tip tricks, and even a team members and a sponsorship search page!

Added FISH by Loaded Longboards

There are a few new improvements and additions to the 'online' part of Xboards board shop. More longboard stuff, per request. Going to hopefully get a bit more selection in completes and accessories. Xtreme Wheelz should be on there in the coming months ahead, and the new Hammerhead/Floaded boards as well as others are already showing up on the site.

If you haven't seen the boards by Loaded, it's a must see. Should also have some different earthboard completes, and maybe a small selection of OP boards if all goes well.

Take it easy,
Xboards
