Cute little two-floor college shop in a perfect location. Not quite as massive or flamboyant as…read morethe sporting gear stores back in State College (like, one every five feet) but overall a nifty selection of odds & ends both students and guests alike could easily enjoy. I was psyched to find a comfy hoodie for $40 bucks which by college boutique standards, is relatively inexpensive. (Hello, PSU.) Plus it's open on weekends which is an automatic A+.

My son went in to try on race helmets. He was up front and honest with the owner, PJ, that he was…read morejust there to try on and would not be purchasing a helmet there today, as his grandfather (in another state) would be buying it as a Christmas gift. Upon hearing this, the owner swore at him (calling him a f**ker), insulted him, and told him that wasn't how he did business. My son asked him what would have happened if he had just tried on helmets without telling him he wasn't planning on purchasing one and PJ responded in a threatening manner, "We'd have a problem." My son told him his business model was bullsh*t, at which point PJ told him to "get the f**k out of my store and never come back." After my son assured him he would not, PJ then told him to "jump off a f**king bridge." I called to speak to PJ and during our conversation, if it can be called that, he repeatedly interrupted me, yelled at me, called me a b*tch, and threatened me. He followed up the phone call with a text telling me to "F**K OFF!" While my son was not purchasing anything today, he would have been inclined to shop here in the future and/or send his friends there had he been treated in a respectful manner. THIS seems like a better business model to build a customer base but I guess when you have little to no local competition, you can run potential customers out of your store. But if you enjoy being verbally assaulted, threatened, and essentially told to kill yourself, look no further because THIS is the ski shop for you!

After skiing the rest of the season with ski boots serviced by Race stock sports, I can say that…read morethey do a poor rushed job and try to get you out of the door as fast as they can without actually trying to fix the issue. I came in with the issue that my boots were putting pressure on the bone spurs of my foot and putting pressure on my toe causing subungual hematoma. They only pressed out the shell where the issue is, providing some temporary relief and getting me out the door happy without addressing the real problem, which is that the last of the shell was too big for my feet and my feet were sliding around. I went to Ski Haus in Woburn Mass and they recognized the issue and fixed it completely for half the price that Race Stock Sports charged. They get you with a faux sense of expertise but leave you with a pretty half assed job.

Jake and Emma are fantastic humans, stayed calm and cool through our scary situation…read more I signed up for the 9 mile upper river gorge, rented 2 kayaks. The description mentioned 6 years old and up, So I figured awesome, easy enough for my boyfriend who had never gone kayaking before. There are two rapids that seemed easy enough, but my boyfriend flipped on the first rapid and that kind of set the tone going forward. Getting closer to the second rapid, you could hear the roar of the water, when I could actually see the spot we had to go through, it was cut through large boulders. We where never told to stay to a certain side or that the water level was extremely high. As we got closer to the rapid I could see 3 whirlpools and knew it was going to be trouble for my boyfriend, who was already shaken up at this point. The whirlpool pulled us away from the rapid and towards the boulder, my boat filled with water and dumped me, the multiple whirlpools kept pulling my under trapping me, every time I popped up I could hear my boyfriend screaming for me. We tried to get out and by the whirlpools but there unfortunately was 4 and the current was to strong with the water being to high. I was able to get service and call umiak, I spoke to Emma who stayed cool and calm and Jake showed up like a super hero! We hade to walk up stream and cross the river at a "calmer" spot. Jake grabbed our kayaks and got us to safety once we crossed the river. Jake did mention the river was high and on the verge or requiring a guide, and that we should have gone a certain way around and island to approach the rapid. My boyfriend was shaken up and not willing to go on, understandably. When we got back to our cabin Emma had called to offer us the kayaks at the reservoir. Overall the folks who work at Umiak are fantastic and so caring. Unfortunately we had a really bad time that ended with some trauma, and a sprained finger for my boyfriend, and bruises all over my body. I also understand these are non refundable trips, but I don't feel like I should have to pay the full price for less then a quarter of the experience.

I've been to plenty of trading card game shops, but this one was by far the worst experience I've…read moreever had. First, the staff made me feel like absolute garbage for simply asking a question about one of their products. Instead of offering helpful advice or even basic courtesy, they were dismissive and rude, as if I were wasting their time. But that's not all--this shop is gouging prices to an absurd degree. I understand small businesses have to mark things up, but the prices here are blatantly exploitative. Some items are being sold at double their market value, and their singles are so overpriced it's laughable. They clearly prey on people who don't know better, which is disgusting in a community that's supposed to be about passion and inclusivity. If you're looking for a friendly, fair shop to support, go literally anywhere else. This place doesn't deserve your time, money, or energy.
