www.fakie-store.co.uk

exit is certainly not skater owned

Well theres Focus Glasgow but it has the same webby as focus edinburgh (the good one lol)

i think half pipe in london is also a skat owned shop, but don't quote me on it. im not too sure of its website either :s

I think the guy who started it to begin with skated. Just got big i assoom.

Am I listing you as from Berkshire?

i think this should be pinned

Might be more accurate to just list as 'Online only' ?

How could you forget Freestyle!


Newport, Freestyle.

http://www.zooport-fstl.com

Have you got Big Woodys from Polton le fylde and Blackpool?

You need glasses

Both shops use the same website, which is listed

And City.

in cambridge there's www.billys.co.uk

Thats a chainstore, a branch off from townsend cycles which are based all over the country.

damn!

Ideal Skateshop in Birmingham is skater owned, but they only have a Myspace, not a website!


Ideal Skateshop (best shop ever)

Detour Skatestore in Bath is skater owned. The guy who owns the place (Toff) is really nice, and always willing to help you out. Where i buy all my gear from anyway .

www.detourskatestore.co.uk

I've already listed Detour.

There's a skater owned shop in Bridgend (South Wales) called Bad Habits but they don't have a website.
Well, a skater may not own it but Gibbsy (Element and Circa) works there.

Bad Habits is skater owned.

I never knew that Gibbsy worked there.

Yeah man, he's there most of the time!
We usually talk to him about the Bridgend scene.

We see him around Cardiff quite alot.He is one sick skater.

www.vapourised.com, based in yorkshire or something like that

You sure thats skater owned?

Has all the traits of a chainstore.. selling micro scooter/blades ect

It is a chainstore, it also has another shop in Leicester.

You missed out Casino, Leicester.
http://www.casinoskates.com

Sorry, i have poor reading skills .

Extreme Sports in Doncaster

http://www.extremsports.ltd.uk

I think your completely missing the point of this list thing.

Darris has asked for skater owned shops, thats skateshops skater owned and skater run, not chainstores thats sell mountain bikes, kites ect.

New Skater owned shop in Huddersfield West Yorkshire called Endemic the address is 4 Station Street Huddersfield HD11LN www.endemicskatestore.com

Please add us to your list.

Andy

It IS and skateshop owned by skaters and a independant store no chains or anything... they just sell to a wider market!

Well its nice that you belive that.











Its just not true. In any way.

Yet, I know the owners and have worked in the shop so yeah it is true!

Smash Skates in Beccles, Suffolk

One of the only skater-owned shops in East Anglia

Owned/operated by Ash Lever

Check it out at www.smashskates.com, has its own online shop as well!!

hey i found another skater owned shop www.OceanSS.co.uk guy called Alex "Dove" Dovey owns it. He's well alright

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/CommunitySupplies

skater owned f'sho!

New stuff just added too, grab a bargain while you can!

loads of people have been talking about community supplies, aparently its well good





Tuesday Skateshop in Camden is skater owned.

http://tuesdayskateshop.blogspot.com/

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Community-Supplies

New stock just in

when i click the link the shop is empty

Thats weird Pip got new stock in not so long ago, maybe its all gone? I'll ask him when I next see him online.

Just to let anyone who is interested know, Pip has some new stock on his ebay shop: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Community-Supplie...9QQftidZ2QQtZkm

How dare you!

We're definitely NOT a chainstore... we have one shop (and it's not in Yorkshire, or in Leicester, it's in Hinckley ).

Are we skater owned? Well, that depends how you define it, I guess. We're a small family-owned business, and the lads who run the shop and do the buying are skaters. The parents - um - aren't.

So I guess we're part skater-owned, for what it's worth. But please, please, please don't label us as a chainstore - that really hurts especially if you're going to dismiss us and then mention Casino in the same breath!

Cheers folks, Iain www.vapourised.com
