Purple Skunk is the Shiznit!
On 9/25/2005 K.M. wrote in from (70.95.nnn.nnn)

Purple Skunk is... as we say in Hawaii, No Ka Oi! (The Best) Living in Hawaii is great, but shipping to Hawaii... well, that just plain sucks! The cool people from Purple Skunk did with it again, great service, cheap and fast shipping to Hawaii. I ordered Randal 180 trucks, gumball wheels, biltin 7 bearings and hardware. Everything was brand new and packaged well, I couldn't have asked for better service from a Online Retailer. When I need to shop online for skate products I will only shop at the Purple Skunk! Aloha and Mahalo Purple Skunk!

Old School Skaters Online

Lots of new products in stock. Just got in a bunch of Bacon boards, Fury trucks, Five Points Skates decks, etc.

Only a couple more days left to order gear for our Hurricane Katrina Relief Fund effort. 15% of all orders until the end of Sept go to the Red Cross or a charity of your choice.

Landyachtz & Best Skate Shop
On 9/19/2005 Patrick Champagne wrote in from United States  (162.119.nnn.nnn)

Thank you to all posters re. Purple Skunk recommendation. I live in Davis and last Thursday went to SF , hoping to find a Landyachtz board I'd only seen on the internet. Well ... I got much more! I test rode lots of different boards;
long and the new shorties too. Way fun! Came home w/ a Landyachtz Evo, Randall DH trucks and Abec 11 Flywheels. Heaven. I'm cruising like never
before. And PURPLE SKUNK is the BEST ! Friendly, informed , well stocked .
"Need quarters for the meter? Water? Bathroom?" I was there almost 3 hours!
Get yourself there if you can, and enjoy. Thanks again to all who shared. This is one 54 year old who is too young to stop skating !

Skate OR Die Show * Mahalo To Everyone!
On 9/1/2005 Post Script wrote in from United States  (63.202.nnn.nnn)


SF CHRONICLE:
"This was the most fun I've had at an art show all
year!". Maybe it was because it was not at a gallery,
instead it was in a small skate shop called Purple
Skunk Board Shop.

Click here for link

ART BUSINESS:
"Jumbo superstoked crowd, copious sidewalk spillage,
refreshments galore, and plenty of good art."

(click URL below and scroll down to the last article)

Purple Skunk
On 8/21/2005 Vincent Lee wrote in from United States  (63.206.nnn.nnn)

Just bought some more skate stuff from purple skunk. Got my self some pimp 97mm flywheels, biltin abec 7 bearings, and Randal DH trucks. I must say, I have to hand it to Purple Skunk again for providing great service. The employees are all wonderful people and everyone there is not just trying to make a buck, but actually care about skating and having a chill time. Thanks again for super duper wonderful service and the fact that the shop exists.

Frenchie, WHY!?!?!?!?
On 8/11/2005 J.P. - THE Homie from Sac wrote in from United States  (69.4.nnn.nnn)

Frenchie. I know why you encountered this problem. YOU DIDNT ORDER FROM THE SKUNK!!! Purple Skunk purely dominates the skate shop industry whether you're at the Frisco shop or ordering online. Keep it Skunk for all your skate needs. One Love.

The bad guys at east coast skates
On 8/9/2005 Frenchie wrote in from United States  (65.208.nnn.nnn)

Not all experiences are good, for proof, this very bad transaction with East Coast Skates, or East Coast Industries, whatever they call themselves.

After emailing the shop about 6 weeks ago to check for availability of sets of downhill wheels in 2 different duros, I ordered 1 set of each duro. Not only did it take the shop one week to send the package, but when I received it it had 2 sets of the same duro. I sent one sent back asking for correction of the mistake.

As of today, I received no sign of theses guys, they did not answer the 4 emails I sent them, and the only phone number on their website is for a voice mail that does not even work!

I can kiss my wheels bye bye, as well as the 60$ the set cost.
Crooks!

On 8/2/2005 On Vacation & Bombing Hills wrote in from United States  (67.118.nnn.nnn)

Currently on vacation in the Bay Area visiting friends and family and heard many great things about this shop from many folks. Everything is TRUE, Super Customer Service, Knowledgable Staff (and Yes, Everyone at the Shop Skates!), Amazing Selection from Longboards, Downhill, Slalom, Pool/Ramp, Street, and even a large selection of 70's Retro Boards. The Wheel Case is the crowning feature - just Perfect... The Whole Crew and the Vibe is everything Skateboarding means to me. THANK YOU PURPLE SKUNK! VISIT THEIR SAN FRANCISCO SHOP on your next visit.

138 Skateshop
On 7/1/2005 Josh Burt wrote in from United States  (24.20.nnn.nnn)

I have to give a huge thanks to Tony at 138 in New Philadelphia,Ohio. Skateboarder for 20+ years and my homeboy for life. He has helped support the Portland Pusher since the beginning,and is the only out-of-state shop sponsor of the series. All for the love of skateboarding. If you are ever in NE Ohio,head to downtown New Philadelphia and check him out. Great selection,great location(up the street from the skatepark),and shop decks are made at Factory13! It is also the home of Easy Street Tunes,where you can rock,then go roll.

One more Props to the top P.Skunk
On 6/29/2005 Richard "da Buddha "Mugg wrote in from United States  (69.109.nnn.nnn)

I Got back from Purple Skunk again yesterday, must have been my 5th or 6th time in there- but Get This- I called moments from closin' time in San Francicso traffic, (only New York city, Rio de Janerio or Lagos Nigeria in a riot may be more fearsome!!!) AND Lizzie and Yong Kee Kept the shop open just for me, to grab a handful of retro parts like Bones plastic stuff and 10 inch grip & hardware!!
We now all know how cool they are as a Skate shop, But would ANY shop you patronise stay late for you? That's as rare as Home Depot selling you plumbing at midnite when your toilet's busted!
Ps. Gotta shout out to Mark and Debbie Zentner, From Zsports distribution, an Ebay and yahoo web shop. They got the real Z-boys Connection, straight Venice Santa Monica Bizness, even Autograph Decks From tha Zipperhead Himself.
Mike Hirsch and his family from Socalskateparks.com and Socalskateshop.com are also 2 prompt friendly and honest e-buinsess families that are core skater with heart and actually ansewer the phone!!
sorry hillbombers if yer dizzy from reading this one
