    Default Tucson Board Shops

    Anyone know of any good shops for longboards and parts in town? I've hit up Star Skates but thats the only one I've found.

    go in and talk to the guy at the one on university. he is pretty chill, not the most experienced rider out there (prolly better than me) but open to suggestions and carries more gear than star. starr has some landys, evos, DHRs, etc, but the employees completely and totally blow all around. the guy at peter glenn on university is really chill and at least knows some basics bout duro, and i taught him bout angled risers, truck geometry, etc. i go in there a lot. his name escapes me right now, i feel like an ass, bleh. anyways he has plenty of GFH boards, a few loadeds (fish, vannies, sometimes a dervish but i bought his last one a few weeks ago), and some s9 boards. he will special order stuff if ya want it. if you go in and talk to him a lot he may discount stuff if he knows you will and know how to use it. mostly s9 wheels, but you can grab some chargers, randals, bombers, seismics, or indy trucks, along w/ some zig zags, flywheels, big zigs, new s9 wheels, etc etc. all around really the only shop i'd go into for longboarding. he's also got some loaded slide gloves.

    -KS m1 46", R2 180s flipped pin swapped, abec 70mm flashbacks, mad max abec 5s, hopin to get some abec bushings soon. (i <3 this board)
    -S9 off the wall, deck only as of now. hoping for indy 169s, zig zags, and reds soon.
    -Evo deck, somewhere in the mail
    -dervish - sold
    -tactis white terror - blue crails - white jimz bushings - 78mm blast waves - bones swiss
    -zealous felon
