Comments: Portland's first and most well-known shop. Dedicated completely to skate boarding only. This shop and it's employees are very involved with promoting skateboarding, working hard to get a skatepark in Portland and to dispell the bad rap skateboarding has had. Burnside Bridge Skateboard park is nearby. The shop has moved to a new location not far from it's original location. Support this classic and hard working store by giving them your patronage before all other shops.
