Great selection, friendly staff -- anytime anyone asks me where to buy their first setup, I always steer them here. You dan't go wrong! It's also become a tradition to take all my visiting out of town skate friends here each trip.

We had such a great experience at 510 Skateboarding. I brought my kids in to get helmets and pads,…read moreand the owner, Dandy, helped us personally. She was incredibly patient making sure their helmets fit just right, and even gave them free stickers--which completely made their day. Dandy told us she opened the shop back in 1998 right after graduating from UC Berkeley, and she's kept it going ever since. In today's world, when so many people just buy straight from brands online, it's amazing to see a brick-and-mortar shop like this still thriving. It's not easy, but it's clear how much she cares about her community and her customers. The shop itself is fantastic--great selection of shoes, clothes, hats, skateboard decks, trucks, and more. The vibe is super friendly and laid-back, and you can tell it's a real community hub. Honestly, 510 is a total asset to the Bay Area. We'll definitely be back.

AJ at Grip It Golf took the time to get my equipment dialed in properly, explaining "the why" throughout the entire process. He set me up with a great deal on a fitted set of irons and later matched my driver with the proper shaft. His turnaround time was impressively fast, his pricing is very reasonable, and his knowledge of the game and equipment is second to none. I will certainly be back as my game progresses and highly recommend Grip It Golf to anyone looking for a reputable shop!

I've been playing soccer in the Albany 5-aside league for more than a year and it has been so much…read morefun! In fact, the Wednesday-night games are usually the highlight of me week. I love playing soccer, but I was intimidated to play in other leagues because I don't have a lot of experience. The Albany league is casual, yet highly organized. Its fun for everyone from beginners to seasoned players. You can get a great workout, meet new friends and reduce stress at the same time! The refs are very fair and make sure that a clean game is played to minimize injuries. The other nice thing about soccer is that it's co-ed 5-on-5 with open subbing (teams are usually made up of 8-10 people). So there's not a lot of pressure to put a big team together and it's usually ok if you have to miss a week or two. The registration fees are very fair. If you've ever thought about playing a team sport, I'd definitely look into this. They will even help match you up with a team. It's a great opportunity for people who are new to the Bay Area. So go for it! Sign up! Hope to see you on the field!

An absolutely terrible experience. I finally found the baseball pants we needed for this season and…read moreI immediately placed an order with Athletics Galore through the Shop.com app. When I realized they hadn't been shipped after two days, I emailed but received no response. I then emailed daily for the remainder of the week, and phoned the store multiple times, leaving messages. Here it is--Day #5 and the pants still haven't been shipped (without explanation or updates) so my husband called yet again and someone actually answered! When we inquired, the man said, "Oh we don't have those." We requested a refund, and were told that, "The computer is broken." He said he'd process the refund later tonight but I'm having my doubts and will probably have to contact Shop.com. It would have taken ten seconds to let us know that the pants weren't in stock (they're still listed for sale on the website, btw)....I should have believed the reviews before ordering! Buy online from this shop at your own risk, especially if you value good business practices. :(

I went to every sporting good store from here to walnut creek searching for various items. I always ended up back here..they have what you need and the prices are right too. So, save yourself time and come here first!
