Great stuff going on in this weeny tiny country of SINGAPORE. I went on a vacation there last summer and had a great session with the locals. Its a sk8ters heaven , lots of urban street stuff to sk8, marble ledge, hubba rails and lots of stairs that you can imagine. One thing to sure of it the price of the decks and shoes there. I bought 5 pro boards - Mystery,Zoo York, Almost,Darkstar and Blind for 140 pounds! If it at SlamCity i could only get 2 boards.
The shoes are crazy price too. You can get VANS at a discount for 20 pounds for limited design and size. All skate shoes especially NIKE ones are range from 30 - 50 pounds. Got myself a P. Rod and 6.0 for 85 pounds!
So each time before i go and purchase a deck at any local sk8shop I would think before getting them. Have a local mate there helping me out with my purchase
