PLA Skateboarding

Always get my sons birthday and Christmas presents here… they have a great selection!

Love this place. The owners are super cool guys and they have a great selection of clothes and shoes including the nike sb collection.

Great local place to shop for clothes! I come here every once in a while to get clothes for my husband and brothers. The service here is always on point. Jason and Ben are always very helpful and friendly whenever I come in. I always love supporting local businesses so I will continue to shop here especially since every time I go in I walk out with at least one shirt! Can’t wait to visit their downtown location!

I just left this place and I got to say it’s one of the nicest skate shops I have been in. First of all the customer service is excellent, the selection of boards are amazing. And don’t even get me started on the shoe selection, I feel like I’m at some shoe kingdom. The place is so clean you can have a full meal course on the floor. It seems like the skate Gods crafted this shop and bestow this wonderful place to enhanced the town of Folsom. Going back to the customer service, it was so good I felt like I was Kanye west with all the attention and help I was getting. And something else, they have some nice shirts also, and good prices. I highly recommend coming here. Support your local shops.

This review is long over due. I have been a frequent flyer of PLA for years now. They are the definition of a small business done right. Clean simple interior. Top quality product. Awesome ownership and staff! This is core skate/​street wear done right.

Hands down THE BEST skate shop in all of Sacramento… Clean and crisp, the shop is in a league of its own. It has that new school boutique feel while not losing its edge. These guys are A+ all the way, they take the time to interact with all their customers in a positive upbeat and down to earth manner. They make you want to be in their shop. Plus it doesn’t hurt that they carry the finest clothing and shoes that the skate scene has to offer. PLA… FIVE STARS ALL THE WAY !

Super friendly and professional! I needed a skate board for my nephew and was clueless prior to walking in. The staff help educate me about the parts and it was quite useful in selecting something just right for my little guy:)

Everyone that works here is knowledgable, helpful, and super friendly. Jason and Ben have always treated me and everyone I’ve ever brought in with me (including my mother) with courtesy and respect, and they always make the customer feel welcome. The shop is clean and tasteful, they always have a great selection of clothing, decks, footwear and hard goods, and the prices are good. Love this shop– if it weren’t 20-​something miles away, it’d be the only skate shop I ever go to.

PLA makes it rain realness in this overly commercialized skateboard world. And their team is the rawest you eva did see. Preach.

Support your local skate shop! Especially when the owners and staff are so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Wanted a specific size board for one of my boy but they didn’t have it like most shops I went to and didn’t feel like ordering for me. The owner at PLA ordered the right one and even got a few extras which I ended up buying as well eventually. Clean shop, good selection, always smiling and my kids love it when the owner throws in a couple sickers with our purchases. Keep this place open… shop there!

So I just moved to Roseville a month ago and I was getting worried they didnt believe in CORE skate shops… wrong PLA holds it down in this area!!! I was in search of the KostonXHeritage Quickstrikes and i went into downtown to check out FTC (another dope CORE shop) but they didnt cop the most recent ones. good thing they helped a dude out and told me about PLA! As soo as i walked up to the front door at PLA they were shinin like the holy grail! On top of them bein on their Nike SB game the dude Ben (co owner) was super chill… all in all dope spot cool style and chill peeps. Its my new spot!!! PEE.EL.AYE!!!

Gonna start off by saying that I live in Elk Grove and PLA is about a good 35 – 40 minutes away from me. I consider PLA my local shop and the only skateshop in all of Sacramento that I will support.
One of the things that I really liked about PLA the first time I stepped foot in their store a few years back, like Julia said, they don’t make you feel uncomfortable like some other shops. They welcome you into the store, help answer any questions, and they don’t sit there and give you the stare that’ll make you feel bad if you don’t buy anything. The guys that work there (Ben and Jason) are really personable and they’ll chat it up with you and make sure you feel at home.
Another thing I like about the store is that this shop is all about skateboarding and only skateboarding. They have a good selection of boards and hardware and they always stock on up on gear from skateboarder-​owned clothing companies, especially locally owned ones, like Lurk Hard. Not only are they core and true to skateboarding, they’re all about supporting the local skateboarding brands.
The shop itself is clean, simple, and straight-​forward. Nothing over the top and unnecessary. No huge posters or cardboard cut-​outs. The only posters they have are of local pro skateboarders, most of whom frequent the shop. Their new location is a bit deeper into the Folsom area and it’s a bit hard to find at first, but when you do spot it, you know you’ll find the gem in the rough. Parking can be a bit tough as most of the spots in front of the shop or near the shop are timed-​spots that belong to the neighboring businesses. But, as a skateboarder, I’m pretty used to parking pretty far from a skate spot. Haha.
As a skater growing up, I always wished to have a shop that I could just come to hang out at and feel in the element. Years later, that shop for me came to be PLA. I’d definitely suggest PLA over any other shop in Sacramento and most definitely over the mall shops. Support your local skateshops… and by local skateshop, I mean PLA!

Great core shop, just how a real skateshop should be, no surfboards, wakeboards and swimwear.

When I think of PLA, I could only think of nice things to say. It’s a great place to buy shoes, nike sbs, skateboards, hats, sweaters, t-​shirts, etc. The staff there are EXTREMELY friendly and knowledgeable. What I like most about this place is that they don’t make you feel uncomfortable or feel forced to make a purchase. We have been coming to PLA for years back to when they were located on Prairie City Rd and had never once been dissatisfied with this shop. Definitely check out their sites for regular updates.

This is the best skateboard shop around. True to the core skate community and not surf/​snowboard. They sell a huge selection of Skateboard Decks, Wheels, and Trucks. They also carry streetwear brands like The hundreds, HUF, Crooks and Castles, Benny Gold, and more. Big selection of Nike SB too.
