Travis Scott x Nike SB Dunk Low "Cactus Jack"
Justin V.

Your spot is cool and the indoor skate room is great, but your customer service skills suck. Look, I know a buttload of people have blown up your spot asking about any and all SB Dunk Lows. And I already read your entire IG post regarding the raffle for the Grateful Deads. But when I tell your employee I already know that the shoes are not on site but would love to see them in person, that f**king employee has NO F**KING RIGHT to act like a total jerk. I came in on 7/22/20 around 3p. When I told him that I entered the email raffle already and he replied with, "Then I know you didn't read the email," then shrugged his shoulders & gave me a look like I've been berating him for hours, that employee needs to be dealt with. That kid may be stressed and tired of constantly fielding SB Dunk questions, but he's no g****mn medical professional saving lives. All I'm asking about are a pair of overpriced shoes. I didn't demand to buy them on the spot, I didn't ask if they're in stock. I didn't even ask about the raffle because I ALREADY F**KING ENTERED THE F**KING RAFFLE before stepping foot in your store. I merely said I'd love to see the shoes in person, but your employee decided to be a g****mn d**k about it. COVID or not, tired of fielding questions about SB Dunks or not, that is unprofessional and flat out rude. I'd be fine with him blowing up if I was being rude to him, but I wasn't and I was simply trying to make conversation. Thanks to your d**khead employee I'm not buying as much as a hat from Cardinal ever again. And my friend, who witneseed the exchange, will never buy from Cardinal, either. He talks more s**t about poor customer service than I do, so this crap experience will spread quickly. The staff at Skate Supply is much cooler. It's not possible on Yelp, but ZERO stars. JV

Great shop! Met the owner and he's a really cool guy. Also has a great selection! Also has his own little skate park on the back.

I came in a week or so ago to get a deck for my son that he asked for, unfortunately it was no…read morelonger available. There were two guys working and they overheard me and asked what board size etc. He put in an order for the board I was looking for we paid there and they took down my info so I can pick it up when it's ready. They said it should have been there by Tuesday but I hadn't heard anything so I FB msgd them and they got back To me said they'd contact me as soon as it comes. Well they contacted me again to apologize for not not being here on time and offered to get a different board in place of it until it arrives so my son would at least have something and we could just swap out when his actual Deck came in. Long review short I'm still waiting but the fact they took time out to msg me and ask if I wanted a replacement for the time being was awesome customer service. Can't wait to get my sons deck.

I stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon because they were holding a raffle for a pair of hard-to-find…read moresneakers. While in the parking lot the guy working inside was actually walking to his car and greeted me. It was only when he came back in that I realized he worked at Skate Supply, but he was super-nice nonetheless. He asked me if I was there for the raffle (he obviously made an educated guess since I've never been there before) and he took my contact info. He asked if I was interested in buying a t-shirt they were selling to promote the shoe's release and, because he was so cool about it, I said, "Yes," and pre-ordered. I think I got a second raffle entry by buying the shirt, but it looked cool, was a reasonable price and I'd be supporting a local shop. We also talked about the shoe in question (Travis Scott x Nike SB Dunk Low "Cactus Jack") and joked a bit about its release policy. It's not a big as Carnival but it has this laid back, relaxed vibe that I always remembered about skate shops. If you don't know what I'm talking about then check out the movie mid90's. It felt almost exactly like that, and the dude who helped me out was kind and friendly. JV

Mekos is a really cool skate and surf shop that also has a skate park built into the back. This was…read moresuch a cool discovery for me to make, that I can only imagine how cool it must be to discover if you actually skateboard. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by one of their friendly staff members. I asked a bunch of questions about the skate park and they were very helpful. The storefront side of that serves as the front of the store is well executed and organized. There's plexiglass in the back separating the park from the store. For those interested, their session times are as follows: 10am-12pm $3.50. 12pm-3pm $7.00. 3pm-6pm $7.00. And 6pm-9pm $7.00. No half sessions and girls "sk8" free. They also offer lessons on Mondays and Tuesdays from 4pm-8:30pm and they cost $20/hour. Furthermore, they have VIP Memberships available Monthly: $55, Quarterly: $140, and Yearly: $500. A VIP Membership offers unlimited skating and in-store discounts. A very cool place and concept overall.

Not safety conscious on their ramps. Needs professional work not from volunteers. A licensed…read morecontractor is necessary to bring it up to par. Please be careful when the kids are skating there. Pads and helmet weren't required here. They don't enforce it. Saw a lot of the kiddies getting hurt. Small space and not enough room. Only for kids under 10 years old in our opinion. Most of the workers are volunteers and not skaters.
