Top Skateboard shops in Boston, United States

I bought my first skateboard from Chris about a year ago; i walked into the shops with no idea what i was talking about, told Chris i wanted to get into skating and i needed a board to get around the city, and Chris picked up the skateboard under his feet told me that was the one and then took me to the parking lot and taught me to skate in less than 20 minutes. As long as he forgives me for taking so long to leave a review i’m going back soon for a street board.

As many other reviewers said, he is charming and kind, but I really feel I was cheated, I bought bearings and they were 80 dollars, online they come at 22; and then the spacers he charged me 45 dollars and on-line I saw them at around 20. He is a dear and found me the spacers in another shop and went to fetch them, but really, it overprices a lot. Also, the bearings are recommended for skate boards, and I am a roller hockey player, not sure if I will resell them or use them 🥺 I really wanted to like him because he is such a fun guy, but sorry, it was not wise of me not to check the prices before.

If you’re looking for Outdoor wheels, this is the place. The owner, Chris is very knowledgeable about skates(Recommend RollerSkates), and he gives off a respectable business with great attitude. Highly recommend checking out if you need replacements for wheels, stoppers, or even just new skates.

My daughters 8 and 10 came to this skate shop just browsing for leisure and Chris the owner was incredibly warm and knowledgeable and even taught both of my kids in the back of his shop. He did an amazing job and cared so much about teaching them both. We had a terrific and positive experience here and would highly recommend. Chris also gave us restaurant and activity recommendations too! The kids couldn’t stop talking about their experience - definitely a great highlight to our first time visit to Boston!

Such a great experience - Chris brought my incredibly rusty back to life! Rides better than when I first bought it — he upgraded my bearings and gave me a few lessons on how to take care of my board (i.e., don’t ride it through snow / road salt). I would highly recommend. I hope I don’t need to stop by for repairs anytime soon, but I may need to stop by and say hello when I’m in the area. Thank you again Chris!

This shop is the real deal. I needed trucks and wheels to go with my new deck and Chris hooked me right up. Gave me various options and explained them to me then let me decide what was best. Then he put them all on my deck for no extra charge and I was on my way. Very happy.

Chris was wonderful - everyone who works there was pretty great. I'm a beginner skater, so they all helped me out with picking a board (which I'm absolutely obsessed with), and Chris even took me out & helped me learn how to ride it! Lots of personalized help and a truly energetic spirit for finding your best fit. Excited to hopefully be back here a lot as I get into the sport - best little joint in Boston. :-)

The owner, chris, was extremely kind and helpful. I came in looking for a skateboard as a beginner and he helped find the right fit for me. He even taught me the basics of skateboarding; took me right outside the shop and gave me a lesson for about 20 minutes, it was fantastic! I’d highly recommend this skate shop! Oh also I’ll attach a photo of my board!
