- KONG - CV1, TJ's for some cheap cloths to trash when you BAIL
- ride n 2 seasons
- birmingham has fairly good range and its only 15 mins on the train. there are no sk8ershops in coventry whatsoever unfortunately!
- "Ride, holbrooks. BMX shop with a skate shop in the corner. Staff are cool. Skate Brands are a bit limited."
Funny this - BMX shop with skate shop in corner? Jim, the boss, is a skater first and foremost: check out his posters behind the counter. BMX's take up a large part of the shop because they sell well. Skate brands a bit limited? Are you nuts? There's over 200 boards in stock from a variety of companies, as much as 2 Seasons and Kong, if not more. Ask yourself, do you want to be seen in town buying skate stuff or do you want to go to a store that puts back into the local scene? Jim had a LOT to do with the bowls in Foleshill Park and also is trying to push through the new development at Longford. He has run comps at Epic and impromptu sessions in town, put on BMX/Skate video promo nights at Jailhouse, supports local skaters and still rips it at 37. What has 2 seasons ever done to support the local scene?
- ride is the fucking best..dude im on the team and we dont judge any one and we certainly dont disagree with people because there not punk..im not punk so shut it..we dont put people off we want to get as many people as possible into skating cause its the best dudes trust me.
- ride or 2 seasons
- RIDE up holbrooks, not 4 seasons or whatever,
- RIDE coventry in holbrooks is a good choice of shops as is KONG in the burges city centre.
- RIDE IN HOLBROOKES IS BY FAR THE BEST SKATE SHOP IN COVENTRY. AVOID SHOPS SUCH AS TWO SEASONS, AND KONG
- Theres no question - Ride is the only skateshop in Coventry. Who shops in either Kong or Two Seasons??
SUPPORT SKATER OWNED SHOPS
- Right....The real deal!!! Two seasons....well what can we say, they have skate stuff to buy....but dont rely on staff for information, They dont skate!!!!
Kong,The Burges, has street wear downstairs, some nice stuff, bit pricey, but same as anywhere else for the same makes. Compleate skate shop uptairs, nice staff....dont judge you, always helpful, most of them skate, which helps!
Ride, holbrooks. BMX shop with a skate shop in the corner. Staff are cool. Skate Brands are a bit limited. Shame about their skate team, very clicky, ie judge you if your not 'punk' like them, put alot of people off.
All in all three to choose from, You decide????
- First Sport and JJB sell decks but i dont know any dedicated skate shops
