Im looking for a good skate shop in the south bay, san jose, santa clara area. TIA

 

yellow pages ftw homie

 

thanks... I was hoping to find a place that people recomend going to...

 

Might not be quite in your area but Caliskatz in Fremont and Skateworks in Redwood City.

 

Thanks man.

Ive seen a skateworks in the mountain view area. I wonder if its the same company.

 

Yea it is, though I'm not sure if they still have that location open.

 

ill have to check it out, thanks again.

 

the MV one is now a Peets Coffee

But Redwood City is the OG location, and Santa Cruz has one downtown, but its kinda small. Pretty much all skate shops are closing unless they own their building or are in a crappy area.

You cant beat Bills Wheels in SC. And if its just for transportation, you might wanna check out Purple Skunk in SF...lol yeah kinda not south bay but whatever.

I have this board, it rules. Longboard shape, without the stupid longboard length. I carve S up haha

 

If you're ever in Contra Costa County, check out Metro Board Shop in Pleasant Hill.

 

who told me about some skate ditch in fremont or newark like a year ago? i forgot where it was

and anyone know of any other concrete ditchs to skate? i hear there is one by Lexington resevoir.

 

Don't forget Circle A in downtown SJ. I haven't been there recently, but I went there a couple of times in high school.

I'm always down for a good ditch session.

 

^yeah, im sick of all the new skateparks with their 45, 90, 180 degree angles everywhere. how boring. Like Sunnyvale, it has lines, but no flow unless youre super good. And the bowl section is cool, but again, im not that good to hit vert.

I like Greer, Derby etc.

Santa Cruz is pretty cool, true old school pools. but thats it, since the tech section is pretty bland.

I love Scotts Valley's park. Everything Sunnyvale wishes it wouldve been. I think what ruined Sunnyvales design was the roll in banks that surround 80% of the park. How boring.

 

The new Benicia park is pretty sick.

 

God I haven't skated greer In years! that Is an awesome place to ride.
I wish DLXSM was still open In San Mateo, Anyone know If DLXSF is still open? I never went there but I know there was one up there. Great stores.

 

bleh.. circle a is all overpriced and all hyped stuff. im not a fan of that.
check out boarder nation.. on union and camden. they keep it real and have pretty good stuff and knowledgeble staff.
NC Boardshop in Los Gatos is pretty nice too.
