Zippy and Chris have been running Ideal Skateboard Supply for over two decades…read more As well as selling a range of skateboards and accessories (including 'locally grown' produce from A Third Foot), they also have some nice lines in clothing, so even if you don't skate you can pick up some original clothes that no one else might have, or original footwear that you can be an early adopter of. (Skaters were the first to wear Converse and Vans, dontcha know?) The skateboard shop in every town is always the focal point for hanging out, as well as buying skate gear, and Ideal is no exception. On a Saturday here's where skaters meet to group to go off and skate around the city, or to exchange info on the hot skate spots. This shop is not about making a quick buck, and there is a level of philanthropy here, shown by the installation of a work-station where you can fix parts to your board after buying them. You can then skate your newly set-up board in the ramp next door. Ideal.

It's been a while since I've seen a new skate shop pop up in town and this one pleases me, the…read morefolks inside certainly know what you'll be asking when looking at new decks, the ply of the board, truck set size, wheel bases and they're happy to complete a full set up on any purchases, grip taping and all. Although not the cheapest wares I've seen knocking around (few other stores have some prefabs for the price of just a deck here) I'd guess by the looks this store is aiming for the quality of higher end decks and the personal touch. Clothes wise there is a small selection of shirts, t's, hoodies, jackets, backpacks and trainers, enough for a good day or two's outfits but price wise it certainly is at the top end of the high street. Have a feeling that once the Christmas debt is cleared I'll be making a couple of visits here!

When I first started skateboarding, I had to send off to London for my first vehicle via mail…read moreorder. There weren't any skateboard shops in Birmingham, and the closest place that was making them was in California. That's now changed and right here in my home city is a factory making top-quality hand-crafted product with graphic edge. The anarchic amongst you will like the Mau Mau graphics with a subversive political bent. For literary skaters, (there are many an intellectual among them, ya know), there are boards depicting the penguin that graces the covers and spines of books from one of Britain's finest publishers. For anime fans there are a range of boards with Studio Ghibli looking roots. And more. These guys have been improving their product since they entered the game 10 years ago. If you are a skater, then you need a third foot. Get your transplant here.

Best Skate shop I have ever been in. They are always helpful and genuinely help when your trying to…read moremake decisions about what to buy. I understand some people will always have a bad experience and anomalies happen, while not placing absolute blame on the customer who did not keep a receipt i wish to put forward my experience. Over the many years that i have been shopping there i have had two incidents that come to mind of purchases failing on me. A pair of snowboard boots that i wore for 4 weeks riding then had the heel fall away from the rest of the boot, I didn't have the receipt but did have a Credit Card statement, they replaced them there and then with the latest model and i went on my merry way. The second incident was surrounding a pair of Bond snowboard pants that ripped on a seam and when returning (with the receipt) they were replaced with next years model. They then ripped in the same place again so we returned them again and this time Bond was gone and no longer trading (possibly due to the quality of garments?) yet SS20 still honored the purchase and let us pick up another pair of equivalent value from another manufacturer. Felt i needed to put a review down to try and reflect how the snowboard and skate community feel about this great skater/snowboarder owned shop is run and that hopefully the bad incident from a couple of years ago as mentioned by Greg-OX4 was an isolated incident of poor attitude by a previous member of staff in a difficult situation?

Located in the lower precinct. It has both an up and donwstairs. Downstairs is mens/womens…read moreclothing. Upstairs is for skiing/surfing and skate/boarding. Two seasons is a great shop for surfing/skiing/skating/skateboarding/snowboarding. Has all the classic makes regarding these sports such as billabong, quicksilver to name but a few. Not great for prices mind as it is expensive, very expensive. But sometimes you have to pay for quality items, but this can be argued. Not a bad shop, staff seem friendly and know about some of the sports in detail! There are bigger and better stores located within the midlands unfortunately i dont believe this is one of them! Give it a try and see for your self if it deserves a better write up than mine.

Magic Toast is a really cool independant skatewear shop in St Martins Square Leicester…read more Everytime we have shopped here the staff have been friendly and happy and will help if needed or just leave you alone to browse which is just what I like. They sell loads of differnt makes of clothing and footwear such as etnies, volcom, Fenchurch, DC's, Bonfire, Billabong. They have a good range of accessories too - bags, belts, dvd's, wetsuits, hats & beanies, watches and luggage. Prices are pretty average but look out for sales and offers which they often have. They also have a pretty good website - http://www.magictoast.com which is great as I love shopping online.

This is a relatively large Sports Direct store, in the Bullring in Birmingham city centre, it is…read morepretty much your typical Sports Direct store, relatively cheap sports clothing in a claustrophobic atmosphere, where they always seem to unnecessarily make the store as narrow as possible, resulting in a not so great overall shopping experience. There are entrances through the mall and on street level which is handy. They did have a pretty good selection, many of the items were competitively priced. They did seem to have a good number of employees working to satisfy demand, which is rather efficient and can be hit or miss at these types of stores, more so in the current climate - although queuing at the checkouts could have again be improved. 3* - Large store with a good product selection, I just wish they thought more about their own layout making it more welcoming and accessible, rather than appearing to be more of a mess than anything else.

This place provides a truly awful shopping experience…read more A discount sports clothing chain that sells a small amount of sporting equipment also. The staff here seem to hate the place. I don't blame them as the clientele seem to be mostly rude with little consideration for other shoppers or staff. You'll also find plenty of pushchairs in the aisles blocking your way, or people having conversations unwilling to step aside to let you through. There's always a queue at the tills, and you'll always be asked if you want to buy a branded plastic bag. After a second "no thank you" persuasion techniques became annoying. This place's saving grace comes in the form that it's cheap branded specialist sports clothing. Also in its location in the bullring- if like me you needed some sports leggings and are in this area, there's not many other places where you can pick up good quality ones fairly cheap. (Let me know if there are please!) Be warned though, they have an in store no refunds just store credit policy which can be inconvenient.
