The team members are very hands on and sociable w shoppers. Feels like u have a friend who knows basically everything about what you need and want in a board. They have snowboards and skateboards plus some small gear things tbh I'm new so don't ask for details as to what. Anyways if ur new or experienced I think this is a great place to go! Rn they have a 30% off on snowboarding stuff so def take advantage (without stealing stuff in my size ofc) def an average cost on new gear and good prices on used. Only 50$ for my 1 day rental on board, binding, boots and personalized for my ride style (80$ at Steven's and soooo uncozy ) Okay that's all I have to say enjoyyy

To top it off, they were very friendly and welcoming towards us, who didn't know the first thing about skateboards. There is no need to look anywhere else! These guys are the best!

The new selection is bigger but still small enough to clear your way through entirely in about thirty minutes. Their rap section was bigger than most stores thrice BMS' size and, again, was very well curated. If you go to the store and come out without having seen anything you want to purchase, you probably need to reassess your musical taste. I wish we'd have dropped in earlier so I could have checked out the hoodie and clothes section. It looked rad.

This was a great find for us. My teenage son has been skateboarding more seriously for about a year…read morenow and was looking to improve his board setup based on what he learned through practicing. We had gone to a number of other skate shops around and none had all of the hardware that he was looking for. We drove up to the somewhat rundown house in which Black Market Skates is located and my son's first question was 'Are we in the right place?' Having not always lived in the suburbs, my first thought when seeing the Independent banner hanging in the window was that not only were we in the right place, but that this is the real deal (not some mall replica of a skate shop). I'm into other sports and hobbies that don't necessarily attract a mainstream customer base so I know that the best retail stores for these activities are often not particularly dressed up. But what these types of shops do have are staff that know all about what they are selling and equipment designed to perform better (instead of just looking good in a store). The staff at Black Market Skates definitely know what they are talking about and provided in-depth advice on considerations such as what firmness of wheels that would best suit the type of skating that my son wanted to do. I was also really impressed by how much equipment they keep in stock. They have hundreds of decks and wheels as well as a wide selection of trucks and bearings. This is definitely a store that focuses on what skaters need for skating versus the clothing and shoes that wanna-bes are looking for to look like a skater. Given the large number of decks in stock (including their own shop brand of decks at a great price) and all of the other components he wanted, my son walked out the door in 45 minutes with an expertly assembled skateboard that he wanted to ride outside the store. We'll definitely be back!
