Dude there isn't any longboard stores in Nevada. The only place I have found is Out of Bounds in Carson City. But they have a very limited selection. For my local Reno buddies I use my conections to get them boards for as cheap as I can. I havent been able to get any start up business money or i would open a longboard store. But the best you can do now is find cheap boards online. Or you can start making your own. A few friends and I have made some custom longboards, nothing to amazing. But we have lately been working on some fiberglass boards. Hasnt been going to well.

Yeah, I live here in Vegas.... I go into Zummies,or other mall stores that sell skateboards, and they have lots of complete longboards, but not longboard trucks or wheels- just complete setups. it's f#$%ing stupid.... if you sell someone a complete- what if they enjoy it, and want to upgrade to better equipment- the store they bought the board from is useless to them, and they have to go elsewhere, and they lose the customer.
They sell popsicle boards, and sell seperate trucks and wheels for them.... so they can have repeat buisness- but not for longboarders, who more than likely have more disposeable income than a 15 year old skater. Stupid.

Although I went into Zumies last year, and they had a GF Hurley longboard that was a display board, and they were selling it for $40 because the wheels were dirty..... I bought it, sold the deck for $40 on ebay, and still use the trucks and wheels.

Too many casinos and chapels= no room for necessary skate shops
