Stop Hurting Your Local Skate Shop

​Well, it appears that my local was hit by a smash and grab today. 

Nothing pisses me off more than seeing this. And I'm sure I am not alone. 

My first question is always, "Why?"

Why would you do that to any independent or small business? Why would you put their future in jeopardy for some boards, shoes, sweatshirts, etc.? Why would you risk serving jail time for some wheels and trucks?

​Skate shops are hit especially hard from smash and grabs because their profit margins are already slim-to-none. I've had so many great experiences and met so many cool peeps at my local shops over the years. They also provide access to gear and merchandise that some members of the community might not have access to (internet, etc.). 


So, once again, I ask, "Why?"

Do the individuals (punks) doing these kind of things just not give a shit about anyone but themselves?  I'm pretty sure I can answer that. 

Nevertheless, one benefit to living in 2021 is that by now most businesses are able to afford great security cameras and a rather decent price. I can't wait to see and share the footage and/or pics when they are available. 

Circle-A Skateboards has been around since 1997 and I'll be damned if some punks are going take our little shop away. If you know any information or anything that could lead to finding out the culprits behind this latest crime please reach out to me or Bob at Circle-A.

Also, if you have a local skate shop that has been hit recently drop their info below so we can help spread the word (either on this blog or my podcast). 

I thank you in advance.

It can feel embarrassing or vulnerable to admit to mistakes, but remember that they’re part of learning and growing.

If you’re overwhelmed, remember that you’re human and your circumstances at the time caused you to lash out.

    Skateboarding changed my life.
    ​
    Not that I was on the verge of becoming a criminal or on the path to self-destruction anything, but more in the sense that it molded me into the confident person I am today.

    I started this site to share some of my experiences I've had along the way and to also meet some awesome new people much like yourself. 

    Cheers.
