This place was fantastic for a total casual skating newbie. Tattoos took such good care of us. We…read moretold her we were brand new to skating and she pulled out all the options and had us try on each, telling us what to look for in the fit and filling up the rest with great stories, charming and relatable, which put us at ease. We were there maybe an hour and a half all told, but it didn't feel like it. We never felt rushed - she took her time and let us take ours. Brilliant experience. She was a wealth of information and helpful tips, gave us a YouTube account to look at for techniques and a local place to take classes. We very much enjoyed our time in this shop and with this wonderful woman. Wish we lived closer! Suffice it to say that, if you're in the market for skates or skating gear (or anime gear, toys, wearables etc), this is the SPOT. The kind of place you love supporting because it feels like home and you can geek out together about things you love. What a treasure. We both walked out with some insanely comfortable Retros and a set of pads. A week later we are just beginning to get out skate legs, no longer feeling like such awkward baby gazelles, and very grateful for the care and attention she gave us in helping us select skates, know what to look for, and where to start learning. This shop is a valuable community resource, so be thankful, Detroit - this is the real deal

They took the time to listen to us, they gave us their expert recommendations, they had my kid try on a bunch of different options, and, once we made our selection, they helped us customize the wheels, toestops, etc. They were SO much more knowledgeable and customer oriented than other skate shops we've visited (very noob friendly) and way cheaper too. We will be back!

I forgot to snag some photos, but I will be back soon to take some! *COVID-19 Update* The employee was wearing a mask which was awesome and limited how many people came into the store at once. Skate shops in general are having a hard time getting stock due to the pandemic, but this place has received more shipments than most places I've been to.

My mom and I took my nephew here since my brother and SIL were in town for an anniversary e…read more Open from noon to 8PM on Saturday. $16 for two hours of skating and $25 for all day skating. They do lock-in skating events usually during holidays mostly. There are tables for the folks that aren't skating and they have Wi-Fi and a parent room that's quieter. Two seat high tables along the fence for the minor kids and a bunch of random couches by the main entrance. The parent room provides a bit of shelter from the constant noise of wheels rolling over metal plates at the top and bottom of a ramp. The interior is a big open warehouse. Fenced in for the skaters. Not fancy, but lots of different ramps for skateboarding, rollerblading or for razor scooters. My nephew wanted to try out every ramp to see which one was to his liking. Do bring a book, noise canceling headset and maybe a phone charger too. If you need snacks, Kroger is just across Stephenson and Penn Station subs just a half a mile away. They do have some snacks in the 3 vending machine. Probably a bit more fun coming with friends. My nephew felt a bit comfy after a half hour of getting the lay of the land. It can feel a bit chilly in the warehouse. My nephew said there's some fun ramps and runs, he was getting toasty running around some. Not me. He walks some and studies them ahead of skating to see what's on the other side to make sure there aren't any stairs on the other side of a ramp. My nephew likes the two half circle ramp with the flat landing in between. He also enjoyed the bowl, which has a slope to enter it.

And a MAME cabinet. If you grew up on all that like I did, JUST GO. So much culture packed into one little room. I literally only had 15 minutes to run in and out on Record Store Day (and pick up two more records), but will definitely be back. Across the street from Cultivate Coffee & Taphouse, and next to the Ypsi food co-op in Depot Town. Park in the lot next to the building or on the street. Hit up the DIY skatepark at Prospect Park down the street. Weekend afternoon/evening hours, likely because this is somebody's beautiful side hustle / labor of love. Whoever that may be, I salute you!

Additionally offering tune-up's, repairs, and the team does custom bike and wheel builds as well. I was in desperate need of a bike that could handle more city miles and riding after struggling commuting around the city on a mountain bike. I initially called the shop to see if they had any bikes in-store within my price point that fit my height/weight and within an hour of riding up there I was leaving the store with a new bike. I was able to trade-in my mountain bike and apply the funds toward discounting the nice new hybrid Batch bike I purchased. Purchasing a new bike here also includes a 1year free tune up as well. Great experience and find myself often recommending others here. Bikes for sale here at all price ranges and different types of riding, as well as selling any accessories/tires/helmet/supplies in store. Also have a website that shows current inventory that they keep pretty up to date!
