Very cool skate shop. Amazing selection. Staff very kind and helpful. They had the latest releases of Adidas skate shoes which was a shocking revelation. I will be returning ong next visit to ATLANTA. read more

Bought my daughter her first custom board. Great service and work done! 10/10 recommend.

such a good shop. straight up rad locals keeping it real. the staff is sick. theyre totally down to ride and keep it chill. will always support local rad killer shops like this always. dude behind the counter was sick and cool. read more

Really cool shop with a verity of styles and products. Workers there are very cool also.

The owner is pompous ass hole who still thinks he's int the glory days..or Jim Crow who knows. I witnessed him berate a young kid who just need a simple part so he could fix his board. The owner insisted he do it and then acted like he wanted him to pay afterwards. He insulted the kid kicked him and threw a coffee at him. If I hadn't already paid I would have left..never shopping there again. The clerks are chill but also hella smug. I won't be going back read more

I got caught walking in the rain for miles in ATL and soaking wet I came across this place. They were closed, but were in the shop. The owner gave me a free shirt to get dry. Great bunch of guys, wish I could have shopped too read more

Stratosphere Skateboards - In the shop - Skate Shops Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Worst experience every! I attempted to go to this shop to purchase a skateboard for my son. However, that was abruptly brought to a disturbing halt. Due to the extremely rude and blatantly prejudice sales clerk that un-greeted us! We were ignored, dismissed then told to look online and then clerk proceeded to turn his back. However, conveniently while we foolishly went on our phones to search inventory two "non-ethnic" gentlemen approached just as we did and were greeted "whats up brothers". Thank you for keeping Georgia's good ole southern racism alive and kicking stratosphere Skateboards. read more

People there where pretty chill and helpful. Asks us if we needed help so good costumer and really respectful.

They just don't get it. Skateembarrassmentboarding is fun when you are selling fun and a sport you should love business is a pleasure and you spread the love of the sport. What an embarrassment to the industry and a great sport. These folks are serious assholes. All the comments on here say the same thing. Spot on. My kid called them to inquire about what kind of decks they had. Who doesn't know what Santa Cruz and Powell Perelta is? Needless to say I asked some questions about what they had compapred to the boards I grew up riding. The guy was a jerk and then the the call just went silent I think he put the phone down. Needless to say congrats you lost a sale of 2 fully custom skateboards today. read more

Stratosphere is a L5Ps staple. Although the shop location has changed a few times over the years, it continues to improve and remain a true local skate shop for skaters by skaters. The shoe selection is like no other thanks to the close relationships Stratosphere has formed with vendors over decades. This shop is run by a former pro-skater and his skate crew, which includes his pro-skater son who skates around the world for teams like Nike, so they know what's up. If you're a real skater this is the store you go to. If you're from the burbs doing the "weekend lookey-lu" as another reviewer wrote, this store is not for you - unless you plan on buying clothes or shoes. PS: The owner is "the guy" who made the new Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark happen, so major respect! read more

We sat in the store for five minutes and he basically told us to get out if we were not gonna buy anything. We asked if he knew any spots around Atlanta and he told us off. It was the manager - talking to us like we were 30 years old. So immature. Really do not recommend - I even bought a board there a couple months back. Really wish I hadn't. What an asshole. read more

Great people, holdin' it down forever. Keeping the scene real for years and years. This is what a skateshop is supposed to be.

I took my daughter here to buy her first skateboard. The guys were super helpful and so nice. She didn't feel intimidated at all and they were super nice to us "old" folks. Happy to support this institution to ATL skateboarding! We will be back!! read more

everytime i have ever been to this store ive been treated like i was invisible. The guys are always so rude! and no customer service is found what so ever. sure they have lots of goodies but i DO NOT want to buy anything when i feel like its not wanted. boo you read more

Inspired by the new Historic Fourth Ward Skatepark, I decided to pick up a board and mess around a bit. I went to Stratosphere and I have to admit, the staff didn't seem too interested in me when I first walked in. But whatever, they probably don't have many 37 year old dudes buying stuff so they probably thought I was just some curious looky-loo from the suburbs out for a Sunday drive who decided to go "check out all the weird stuff down in that little five points place". But once I started asking about decks and stuff, the kid behind the counter started getting into it, offering advice on stuff like which truck widths would work best for the board I liked and which wheels would roll well in the skatepark, etc... I haven't skated in over 10 years and am out of touch so it was cool having someone knowledgable give me the scoop. I walked out with a new complete board and was in the skatepark later that night. I wish I could say I was tearing it up but I was not. But the board is great! read more

Nicest dude ever. Helped me out and showed me everything they had that I asked about. Totally will come back to get more gear when I'm in town. Thanks y'all read more

Stratosphere Skateboards - Skate Shops Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Solid skate shop with everything you might need. Super helpful staff, great selection of shirts, shoes, and all the things skateboarding. A+++ read more

Great products but they never open on time. Very unprofessional. I'm waiting now for someone to walk up.

This is a great little skate shop in Little Five Points. They carry decks, trucks, etc, as you would expect a skate shop to carry, along with a fair amount of clothes, and awesome sneaker selection, and various other accessories like bags. It's an independent shop, and the guys who work there seem very cool. They seem to know their stuff, and you can often find them skating around L5P and in front of the store. In Little Five Points, this store has been around seemingly forever in a landscape of changing retail. (I miss More Dusty than Digital which used to be next door.) I have purchased several items here, ranging from sneakers to a laptop bag, and have always had a good experience. read more

We visited this skate shop while out there in November 2018 from Huntington Beach. True OG vibes here.....knowledgeable and great chats. Thank you for the hospitality! read more

Shout out to Thomas and the guys at Stratosphere for the good vibes. These guys are authentic. Local skate shops is where it's at!!

Went in this store a while back and not one person spoke to me. I have worn SB's since early 2000's and have been in several shops across the nation. Never have i ever been treated this way. No I'm not a skater and perhaps that's why i was treated this way, but won't be back. read more

0 stars if i could tbh. Customer service is horrible. My friend and i went in for a raffle and we had popsicles and they made it a big deal almost wanting to kick us out. We stepped out and the worker claimed we had already gotten raffle tickets when we didn't when they clearly told us to step out. Other than that, most staff wasn't nice at all no hi or bye read more

They get straight up 0 stars from me. We went in today and the guys at the front of the store looked the other way when me and my kids came in the store... no hello or anything and we even got to the back of the store and the guy behind the counter wouldn't say absolutely nothing... even as we left to walk out they treated us as if we were transparent... NOT ONE WORD!! Can't quite call it but maybe we weren't the right color for them in THIER eyes... I guess my green won't be the right color for them either!! Duces... Not With My Money!!! Nope! read more

I'm a new longboarder, and I had great customer service at Stratosphere. They were happy to answer my questions about maintenance and equipment. If you're on the fence about it based on some of these reviews, I'd say stop in and see for yourself. read more

Are y'all talking about Mouse? I grew up riding at the ramp ranch with him and TK and all them. Mouse is as cool as they come, he is the real deal. He was the only real shop around for years. We had street skate competitions in Zesto's parking lot, they were the only place willing to host it.. People hated skateboarding back then, and folks like Mouse helped to keep the sport alive. I don't know if he still owns it or not, it's been twenty years. Damn. . read more

Store basically is all bad we where waiting in line for some shoes that dropped and the owner wasn't being fair and let people go through the back door with people that waited hours for them and they said it was first come first serve with 1 pair per person people where walking out with 2-4 pairs through the back read more

I was looking to get a new cruiser board (I've been trying to do slides on my longboard but I haven't been getting it so I thought maybe a shorter board would help). The guy definitely had the opportunity to sell me stuff I didn't need just to make money, but he really helped me out. He told me what I was probably doing wrong, and recommended some harder wheels (I usually use soft ones but they don't like to carve). I expected to be treated with an upturned nose because I'm a college-aged girl who skates (and sometimes the guys think girls are posers), but I was not, and that made me feel better. read more

Don't go in and ask a question about equipment. You're already supposed to know the answer, bro.

The service here is actually pretty bad. I should have known when I called in the day before to check their inventory and how they were rude on the phone. When I walked in the following day the staff seem disinterested in work and just overall killed my vibe. Won't go there again. read more

The guys in here are douche bags. I asked to use a tool to rethread my trucks and the guy told me I could either buy the tool or pay him to do it.. what the fuck? Do I have to pay you to grip my board? Do I have to pay you to tighten my trucks? I get being a core shop, but that doesn't mean you've gotta be rude. Especially because judging by the overweight guy being rude to me, I would guess I'm a lot better at skating than him. Will never return. read more

You may have noticed there are more then several negative reviews here regarding the rude and unprofessional service. Well add mine to the growing list. You would think these guys have never heard of Yelp... or eBay for that matter. Next time I'll buy my skate gear online and save myself the hassle of dealing with local owners who could care less about my business. read more

for all the critics who felt insulted by Stratosphere's atomesphere (hey that rhymed), toughen up! for some reason, the best skateshops across the country are the most rude, idk why! so dont expect good customer service. Go to the mall if you want all that (mall grabbers) Strat reminds me of FogTown Skateshop (back in my salad days), a skateshop ran by skaters. i like to go there to read the zines, hang out and watch videos. i find the staff hella knowledgable, funny and weird. if they're rude, so what! throw it back at 'em. trust me they can handle it. but I can tell you this....you will walk out with a sweet setup. I'm glad they're still here after all these years. Hold it down Strat! read more

I had previously left a very negative review when I went in dealt with the owner and said I would never go again.well life is full of second chances and I went back in again and had a completely different experience.maybe the owner was having a bad day but he had two employees there that were extremely good to deal with and made my experience very positive. I came back in today and bought another board I was treated really good by the same employee who was there the last time I went. As I said life full of second chances so if you have had a bad experience there give another shot, I'm glad I did. read more

Great local skate shop in Little Five Points that feels like it's been around practically forever. It's a real skate shop, independently owned and operated. It's definitely not a manufactured, mall skate shop like you would find dotting the landscape in the suburbs. They have anything and everything you would possibly need in terms of equipment for skating as well as the usual selection of skate clothes and shoes. read more

I got a regular strat deck. no big deal, i could have gotten something better but i was a bit broke. the guy that helped me out was kind of a tool. i get it man, you are a skater and your friend is pro. why are you so uncool when i ask about local skate spots? meh. it is a pretty cool shop. needs a mini in the back. read more

Large selection, good location, clean shop. Needed new shoes, dude helped me try on sizes, bought them, then left. Smooth, fast, easy transaction. Overall, satisfied. read more

Excellent Atlanta-based shop steeped in history. Founded by veteran Thomas Taylor with son Grant as a shop's sponsored rider, the staff is always very helpful. Great selection of modern decks, shop blanks and classic reissues. read more

wow, amazing shop. fully hardcore and getting it done in the best way possible. service was top notch high quality and they let me know everything i needed to know to get to shredding. straight up killers in there. will be back once im done shredding my first board. read more

I have never felt so insulted in my life. My son is new to skateboarding and I thought I could go to a local skateshop to get advice on what would be good for him. The atmosphere was stale to begin with, no one was eager to help my son and I. Finally I talk the older guy into helping me. He immediately went into "we don't sell anything for less than a hundred bucks and those are the boards we just build and we've sold out for the weekend". I just shrugged it off because I'm here for my son. I asked him a question, this time it was "we don't sell toys". That's when I lost it. I told him I'm not in there to buy toys nor did I ask him about how much they cost. I calmed down because my son was there, but I have never been so disrespected in my life. His condescending tone and attitude made me walk out without purchasing anything. I went to your competitors and spent close to 500 bucks on 2 boards, pads and new helmet the whole gambit because I only buy the best for my son and I spare no expense. I will never ever ever step foot in stratosphere again... Ever.... read more
