About Us
Our company is based on the "Mom and Pops" style of snowboard, skateboard, and ski shop. Our only focus is to supply our customers with the very best, unbiased product information and service. We want you to love snowboarding, skateboarding and skiing like we do. Collectively, we spend 2000+ days a year on the mountains, or in the streets testing product out. Every single item in the store has been tested by the owner, or the team riders prior to bringing that product to our shelves. Not only does this give us a unique, and personal experience with the product, but it allows us to support the performance of the products as well.
