Here’s a thought- support your local shop if it’s cool. If they’re not do what you like. If you don’t have a local shop you’re off the hook. And if you’re like me and really picky about boards you can split the difference by buying shirts and hoodies from the shop, cause that’s how they make money anyway. Buy boards from tactics or wherever, everyone basically breaks even on those sales so it’s not like you’re supporting big corporations.
Not that I’m happy about it but Aaron Kyro got more people into skateboarding than Tony Hawk

Believe me If I could I be running a shop, now we have kooky ass tattoo shops selling boards and fking hate it! I'll stick to buying online.

I’ve always had a good experience at my local shop, the only guy who used to vibe me out I eventually won over by bringing in pizza on skate shop day.
You’re a Florida native, aren’t you?

Maybe 50 minutes or 1 hour by train... within Tokyo Near my neighborhood there is a Murasaki Sports shop inside a mall. it's maybe like Zumiez in USA. It would be my local? I don't buy too much there because they don't have the boards I want.I've been in some skate shops around Tokyo (FatBros, Arktz Harajuku, Heshdawg...) but the owners seem the most soulless people in the world. They don't talk, they don't look at you, they just give you the deck, take your money and sayōnara.However, the guys at Murasaki Sports are very friendly. I usually buy online not because of cheaper prices (prices are exactly the same in online shops and local shops), but because I only find online the gear I want.My unpopular opinion for 2023 is: The reason that most of guys make fun of skinny jeans is because they're insecure about the shape of their legs. The "You can't move freely" is just an excuse. Please, let's talk about pants again [close]I’m sorry to hear this. There are some nice small shops in Tokyo, but the scene can be really intimidating too. I know the type of shop you’re talking about. Not friendly at all. Fabric is a good one if you get a chance, but it’s fucking tiny. But they treat their customers well if you have questions. It’s a bit far away, but BQ in Oyama in Tochigi is really good too. Most of the shops where I am in Nagano do a good job of being polite and creating a local scene. And if Murasaki sports does a better job than your locals (I don’t shop there because they don’t carry anything over 8.5) then go to them.

Kojima the owner is great guy and definitely had a lot to do with the skate park that’s in shin Yokohama. A great reason to support fabric.
