Is zumiez a good place to buy a skateboard?

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

i keep reading that its not. I read that the people dont really know how to answer questions about what kind of things you will need. But thats no problem for me. My boyfriend skates so he knows what i need. Also, im just learning, so if the quality isnt that good, i dont think it will be a problem for me since i wont be doing any tricks yet.

So is it a good place for me to go?

its not the best because the stuff is over priced but if theres a skateshop by ur house then use that store cause stuff is cheaper. also active and boarders are good skateshops. boards at Zumiez 60 active and borders around 45.

Zumiez Couch Tour 2008 – Stop #5 Layton, UT

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

The best demo so far!

The Zumiez Couch Tour 2008 have had some pretty insane demos so far, but none like the one that the Volcom team killed in Utah. Mark Appleyard landed a giant bs flip to bs disaster, nollie big spin back tail stall as well as a smooth nollie bs flip a tre flips that he caught perfectly. Jake Duncombe went bs nose blunt crazy over the gap to rail and the hubba ledge. Darrell Stanton had kick flip to front board and to back lip, and also a front blunt to fakie. Caswell Berry had a fs hurricane and a tre flip lip. Young Filipe Ortiz had a huge fs flip, a kick flip krook, and a kick flip board slide to fakie. Aaron Suski did the smoothest tail slide to bs revert. Danny Cerezini had a nollie nose blunt on the rail and a nollie front foot flip. Then the Volcom crew signed for the fans.
The BFF contest had some insane talent that killed the new Zumiez Couch Tour street course. They were rushed a little due to the impending rains coming in, but were digging the cooling winds. Christian Sereika took 1st, Ryan Coleman 2nd and Tyson Bowerbank 3rd respectively. Christian also took home the New Era Originator of the day with his combination of flip, rail/ledge and tranny skills. The storm clouds didn’t stop everyone from hanging out for Kandi Coded and Year Long Disaster as the intimidated the rains into passing through real quickly.

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Philly is always a great stop on the tour: the great skate spots and the insane talent that shows up. There were a few tricks that havent gone down on the tour yet. Antonio Massey got 3rd and had a 270 lip down the rail. Tom Asta got 2nd and the New Era Originator of the Day Award with a switch fs heel down the double set and an amazing nollie heel to back lip down the rail FIRST TRY!!!
