Beyond Skate

Beyond Skate carries a moderate selection of skateboarding products in the city. They do carry both local and imported merch. I was looking for a new street deck and possibly a new set of wheels. I was in the market for a 7.8″ — 8″ deck and was stoked that I was able to find one. I wanted to purchase a deck by either Girl Sakteboard, Darkstar, Flip, or Hopps.
The selection of decks by Girl Skateboard unfortunately was lacking, as was Darkstar. However the deck by Hopps was sufficient to my liking. They had a decent selection of other street decks, but none that I usually skate. The prices were definitely on the high side, $ 109.95 for just a deck, I could definitely get it alot cheaper. However, when you do purchase a deck they will grip it for free. Certainly a plus, but still doesn’t make up for the higher price. I could grip my own deck, not a problem. I got two full rolls of Grizzly and one of Diamond. I actually gripped my own deck myself when I got home. Beyond Skate uses MOB grip tape, not my favorite.
The staff is very knowledeable on decks as well as hardware. Plus they arent trying to sell you a boatload of crap that you don’t need. However, the wheels are way too expensive as well, $ 59.95 for a set of Spitfire 52mm/​99D, theivery! However, Beyond Skate does have a pretty sweet selection of street skate shoes and clothing apparel.
Pros:
Do carry some good brands of street decks and hardware (could be alot better)
Ample parking
Nice selection of shoes & skating apparel
Cool & helpful staff
Cons:
Everything is way overpriced
Definitely need more choices, better selection, especially wheels, bearings (full ceramic), street decks and accessories
