Specialty Sports
General Info / Bio
Man the Berrics gives us a ton of space to write whatever we want, I'm sort of drawing a blank on what awesome things we can say. How about this, we've been in biz for almost 30 years under the same owner and I think we may be one of the oldest skater owned shops in the country, if not it's pretty close . I'm sure now that I've said that we'll get a crap load of emails from shops that have been around for 31 years, but I did say "one of the oldest", so that should cover me.
Anyway, Specialty Sports has been pretty much the same from the day we opened our doors in 1981 till today. We sell skateboards, and we are skater owned and managed. Not to make Bill feel old but we have some of his decks around the shop and they have ceramic wheels, yeah they had ceramic wheels before urethane, imagine skating that, it's like skating on 4 rocks!
In 1997 we launched our online store www.specialtysports.com with the idea we would make millions and be able to follow Bill's long term dream of creating a skate park out of pure gold, or maybe a private island for him to hang out on. That hasn't happened just yet (fingers crossed) but we do still offer a huge skateboard selection, ultra fast shipping (we get orders out on weekdays in under 24 hours) and superb customer service. If you can't make it down to the shop give the site a try, and help us create that park of gold!
Oh, we also have a 4 foot mini in the shop, if you're in the area stop down and skate, it's damn fun.
