Not a sale, but I was looking at decks on Tactics and saw the shop and pro ones side by side. It’s insane how much pro ones cost, especially when Tactics uses BBS too. You’re literally paying $33 more for the name.
Which is fine sometimes. It’s nice to support the industry, but decks are getting too expensive.
Didnt you just start skating a year or ago?
No, started at 35 and I’ll be 38 soon. And the prices have gone up since then. So it’s okay for me to point out the price increase. Cause even though I’m a newer skater, I still feel it.
Ok, just around 2 years. Covid era when gear was at record low prices online.
What im getting at is that its important to support local shops, even with high prices. People on slap regardless of income level is hunting for the lowest price and whatever, stocking up and building an “ice chest,” skating decks for 2 or 3 weeks. Whatever, do whatever y’all want but shops gotta stay open
