My wife ordered some skates online, tried to skate the neighborhood a bit and realized something…read morewas off. After checking around she heard that Skater's Choice was the place to go to get her skates ready for the road. We rolled up on a Saturday and spoke directly to one of the owners. She was able to tell my wife exactly what was going on (wrong wheels for the road). She got her some more appropriate wheels and put them on. She also had a lot of other suggestions for my wife to make her skating experience better. While assisting us, another employee was working with a clearly more experienced skater (who had been doing some skate dancing?). The employee with us was also able to lead him to the skates he needed as well as offer some pointers (while simultaneously continuing to fix my wife's issue). The moral of the story? Doesn't matter if you are a beginner or more experienced, a road skater or skate dancer(?), Skater's Choice can get you fitted and drop the knowledge you need for a successful roll.

I believe Christine was helping me and she helped assess some used skates I got from play it again. After changing wheels/ bearings and adjusting trucks a bunch of times I realized the skates I got were duds. I finally decided to cop a fresh pair of quads here. She helped navigate the selection and we found these beauties with the perfect fit/style! After that I never left the rink again. I am looking forward to breaking these babies in! They were on sale for $200 so I think it's a good deal especially with the use I will be getting out of them. Side note United skates is a really fun rink been checking out all the locals

I might like the Tarpon one a little better if for no other reason than the selection. I ended up having to go to Tarpon anyways to get the bushings I wanted. All good. Dude was helpful but not annoying like they can be at mall shops. He kept me from making a mistake with my set up too. I almost out 169s on my card, but the 159s were the right ones. Independent Hollows, son! I never owned a Santa Cruz board in the old days, but my brother loved em. I had been sweating the Dressen Rose Cross for a minute, so I grabbed one finally! They had Spitfires 80HD Chargers too, which I think are discontinued by the manufacturer. That's a bummer because these wheels are dope. I usually use OG Reed's bearings, but dude convinced me to try Super Red's. No regrets on that decision, either. It was a bit more, but I really dig the bearings they feel crazy fast & smooth. Might be the wheels too since I've been riding 99s for a while prior to setting this up. My sister in law got my brother some shoes and dude gave us a bunch of stickers. I promised I'd stick em on every cop car I saw while on vacation. Good looking out, Westside. I'll see y'all again next time.

This is their original location though they have a few others now, too, I think. They carry just about everything you'd want or need for skateboarding including a wide array of decks, trucks, wheels, and shoes including Nike SB and adidas Skateboarding. Because of their long local history, they've done colabs with a number of national brands and have some unique shirts and other products. One important note on their location: Google Maps does not show the accurate location! The actual shop is about half a mile south of where Google indicates it is but yes it is in a shopping center off US 19. Keep driving south on US 19 and look on what will be on your right if heading south for a strip mall called I think "Bradley Plaza". It has a bright blue roof and that's where Westside is.

Next visit was with my son to buy his first skateboard. My first board was a Neil Blender in the 80s, so this was a great experience. Owner once again was super helpful. Didn't try to sell us anything more than was needed. My son picked out his board, trucks and wheels and it was all put together in less than a half hour. As for as pricing it was more than fair. When you see the junk skateboards sold around town at the big box stores, the board you get here is well worth the price and honestly was about the same as some my son was eyeing at Dick's Sporting Goods. All in all a great experience and I would highly recommend. Also, the shop has a great selection of skate accessories and apparel.

This place is awesome! I have lived around the corner from this bike shop for more than 3 years,…read moreyet I never even knew it was there. I almost trekked down to Flying Fish before I checked the Google Maps and saw a bike shop closer! I rode in here the other day, just hoping that a technician would help determine if I was sitting on the bike properly. When I told him that my gears were a little sticky (and by a little, I mean VERY), and that I wasn't sure if I was sitting properly, he graciously guided the bike to the back where he gave me a solid little tune-up FOR FREE! I don't really know what is entailed in order to call a service a "tune-up", but he oiled up my kickstand, helped unstick the gears, put air in the tires, and raised my seat to the level at which it should be. He did all of this without any expectation of selling me on something - he even told me that despite the bike being a bit small for me, that it works perfectly fine and that it didn't really need anything extra. Feeling like my seat could be a bit more comfortable, I asked him to show me some bike seat covers, and he pointed one out that was $20.00, so I went ahead and bought it after fitting it onto the seat. Now I have a more comfortable ride, and I can confidently recommend the service department at David's Cycle World. I would love to give the service tech credit for his kindness but I honestly cannot remember his name, and like a doofus, I threw the receipt away. Anyway, I would definitely check out David's Cycle World for all of your bicycle service needs, or just for some solid professional riding advice!
