Best Skate Shops In New York Near Me

Andreas Christodoulou: I had a great experience even though I didn't buy anything. Mr funky himself picked out boards off the shelf and helped me look at several options, but unfortunately he didn't have any tiny decks at the time.He was very polite and understanding when I told him that I would not purchase anything after all his work helping me, which I appreciated.

Edward Velez: This is where i bought my first longboard skateboard. This skateboard shop is my favorite place to purchase any longboard or any kind of skateboards the owner was very respectful and help full person and thats why rated this skateboard shop five stars also the owners dog is very friendly. I recommend this skateboard shop to anyone who or are planning to get their first longboard skateboard or any kind of skateboards. Also you can get free stickers after the purchase of any kind of skateboards.

A dying bottle of juice: Chill owner

Ignat “Rotenbart”: A great place to buy your first board, or upgrade an existing one. I visited several stores in New York and Brooklyn, but in the end I bought a longboard here. Great place!

Dasan Epps aka Draw: Amazing, best reccomended, had to spend $20 on a Reds Bearrings and my board purrs like a tiger fr.

Pierre Pasquier: A really nice skateshop with outstanding welcome and advice!

Xelias xelias: Très beau magasin, ambiance au top et l'accueil était génial.

Brooklyn slim: I will definitely shop here again!

Justin Martinez: . Cant wait to buy my longboard from here now.

Greg L: Initially, I gave this store 5 stars because it is beautiful, located in a basement, and has a warm vibe. It is definitely a hidden gem, though they could use more business. However, I hope they adjust their customer service before they get more customers. Unfortunately, I had an unpleasant experience at Uncle Funky's, and I am writing this review to share it.On Monday, I purchased a used set of trucks and wheels for $88 from the store owner, who had set them up for warp testing. When I got home, I realized that the wheels were not offset and were incompatible with my Loaded Icarus board. Additionally, the bearings were broken. The following day, I attempted to return or exchange the items, but the owner refused, saying that he no longer sells those products. Despite most skate shops accepting returns or exchanges, he was unwilling to accommodate my request. He was also condescending and rude when I inquired about the store's return policy, and other customers in the store observed his behavior towards me. Interestingly, he was friendly and apologetic towards the other customers, but not towards me.Despite his disrespectful behavior, I attempted to make another purchase. I asked about the price of the Orangatang Heats, and he quoted me $62. I agreed to the price and attempted to pay through my Cash App. After installing the wheels, he demanded $67.80 instead of the agreed-upon $62 and threatened to charge me for labor if I refused to pay the increased price. I was disgusted by his unprofessionalism and ultimately asked him to remove the wheels from my board.Overall, I am extremely disappointed with the service and treatment I received at this store. I would not recommend Uncle Funky's to anyone and suggest they take their business elsewhere. Uncle Funky sold me used damaged goods and treated me poorly when I tried to resolve the issue.I’m not a monkey, uncle funky. But you thought so.I’d still give my first visit 5 stars to be fair.

Aaron M: Fantastic skateboard shop that focuses on longboards and cruisers. I bought a helmet from them and the fella working the counter was very helpful in figuring out what size i'd need.

Phillip Bauman: Such a great skate shop. It’s in the basement fyi, I got confused the first time I tried to find it.

joselito velasquez: Awesome Great customer service

APPLIEDARTSFLA: Super helpful staff.This shop always has the latest and greatest 💯😍

The Unknown Eric: Great costumer service and reasonable prices!

Justin Dong: The worst skateshop in New York. Sneaker releases gets backdoored and constantly chooses the same winners for raffles. Respectfully wishing release and raffle team staff to quit. Have not won a raffle and been entering since 2018. Please close the store.

Turner N Hooch: with 3 pairs for personal use.This shop has been a staple in the Williamsburg area for 2 decades.I know alot of people are salty about raffles, debating if raffles are legit or not.I can say the more raffles you enter anywhere, increases your odds.The demand for NIKE SB products has skyrocketed making it difficult for mom & pop shops to survive.I love KCDC as a shop, the new location is beautiful and well organised.When i am ready to buy another complete deck, this is my first and only choice.Thanks.

B W: Best of everything here! Great service, vibe, and product selection.

Mandii Lopez: Great customer service. I won a raffle and was confused about the email I received. I reached out to the shop and the issue was rectified immediately. When I arrived to the shop they were so kind and helpful.

Bruce Bryant: My brother adores this place. He always enjoys coming here. The staff is nice as well. They're always very attentive with their guests.

MICHAEL VELASQUEZ: I went in twice the first time I went look for truck had none in stock .I was Sad but the owner was very nice and state what ever I need come back and she order . I went on a Wednesday she said come back later we will see what we have. Yesterday went in for some bearing . The guy working at open was attentive to my needs . But when I ask him about a goku deck. He didn't know the price . He tell me that one of there more expensive decks. I told him to do what ever he had to do to find the price because I wanted to buy that deck.I ask to try on a helmet that and it fit so I got that as well . I went in for some bearing left with bearing,helmet and a deck . I wish the young person helping me would never had said these are our more expensive decks . It felt like he didn't want to sell the deck or go threw the trouble of finding out how much was it . I am a big dude I was dress in a hoodie and basketball shorts . I could only guess why he didn't real want to help me with the deck .

Alex Solovyev: wish you guys the best.

Adonis Reyes: I came across Grindtime with my son earlier this month with nothing but a tiny bit of interest on skateboarding, and what we both left with was 2 brand new decks, and a newfound passion for skating that will surely stick around for years to come! 10/10 Truly an Amazing shop with such friendly service and a surprisingly great selection of reasonably priced skate products.

They carry brands such as Trasher,Girl,Baker, Real,and etc. They have prebuilts and you can also customize a deck of your own and give them your budget and they will stick to it without compromising the quality of your deck. They are also heavy on covid protocols especially mask wearing. Overall, shopping here is a pleasure and I will surely be back.

Eissa Bonamo: . Each and every instructor is kind, patient, attentive, and truly passionate about helping all the kids in any given class. 5+ stars and beyond.

SocialHype Miles & AZee: If you love and care for your surfboard DO NOT take to Aegir to a dude name Craig. Save yourself from a long story, Craig fixed my board charged 3 times the price and there was 2 soft spots on the repair from over sanding it. Brought the problem to his attention, was treated with disrespect and was threatened because I refuse to let him repair again. . Just could not convince myself that a person who is supposed to be good at repair could have done such of a poor job. Hell no he was never going to touch my board again. Paid the amount, left with a board in bad shape and finally took to another person.New repair shop found that Craig's repair was not only over sanded, a layer on the rail was deteriorating. Finally got it repair NOT by Craig at Aegir, and I am now in the water surfing life away. Yes, I gave this guy Craig a bunch of money for a ripoff repair but hey look at the bright side you won't make the same mistake I made and that makes me happy. Happy surfing.

Igor Chernomorskiy: These guys went above and beyond their call of duty in repairing my creased carbon surfboard. Even fixed several minor dings on their own without charging me. My board feels like new now and I cannot recommend Aegir enough. Respect!

Barnaby Bienkowski: Very knowledgeable staff. I bought my son a new board and had an hour or more of questions that they were happy to answer. They got him the right size and made some customizations to help him with where he's at on the learning curve.

Exantus: I had a awesome experience shopping at Aegir Boardworks. I’m a beginner skater and got some great recommendations for my skateboard. The store was clean and I was content with the customer service. There’s a positive vibe in this store.I highly recommend! 👌🏾

Jonathan Hokklo: Great shop with almost everything you need as a surfer and skater, they have loads of board bags, wax, fins leashes softops you name it! I have repaired and sold surfboards with the guys and they are very transperant and help full. Also right in my Neighbour hood 🤙🏻

Alexander K: My partner and I bought two skateboards at Aegir today. The two people who helped us were super friendly and helpful and answered all of our questions with sincerity.They were also really kind to our daughter. They built our boards right away and did a great job. And the price for the boards and labor seemed fair.

Nulla Pulsus: Great staff and shop, very welcoming atmosphere and lots of good supplies.

Devika Rao: Excellent customer service. They quickly helped me identify what I wanted and showed me various options/price ranges. Would give 6 stars if I could!

duman dammuzi: It's a great skate shop and great service they have affordable n costume skates there check em out if u in bklyn

Luke Graves: Fantastic place to buy skates. Super helpful and knowledgeable.

Cocoa: I purchased custom skates back in May 2022 which I was very excited about. After working out the details of the design for my skates and getting a final price from the skate shop through ridell I paid the deposit and was given a receipt with the balance. I received a call in September 2022 that my skates were finally ready and I was very excited to see the final product. I go to the skate shop with receipt in hand only to be told that my balance was something different from what was on the actually receipt. The young lady that assisted me when I initially placed my order was not in the shop when I went to pick them up so I was told by the manager that there was a final price on my skates which was different than the balance that was actually on the printed receipt from the shop. I was charged approximately $100 more when I actually had a physical receipt with a different balance and never received an adjusted balance or total amount from them after paying the deposit to have the work started. I’ve never been to a store where I’m picking something up where a deposit was paid then to be told that the remaining balance was something else. I’ve given them a 3star rating because of how they handled the situation. If I didn’t have a physical receipt from the business then I could see them telling me that my balance was something else but because I had a printed paper receipt from them then that is what should’ve been honored.

Michael Dawson: The service was amazing I came in with old skates purchased 24 years ago they provided wheels replacement of the barrens, laces tightening of the trucks my girlfriend was very pleased and is ready to start skating tonight. Thank you

rette2499: The people there were very friendly and helpful. The saleswoman was very knowledgeable about quad skates. Even though we didn’t purchase anything from the shop, she gave suggestions on where we might find what we were looking for. I thought that was very commendable.

donna Holmes: I was recently reintroduced to rollerskating and I received a pair a skates that were bought at Five StrideSkate Shop, here in Brooklyn, NY.Having a new hobby is great and to have a cool shop close to home that supports your enthusiasm is even better.Fabulous staff and great skate options. And if you dream skate, they can make!Custom skates are my favorite and this team has come through beyond what I could imagine.

Tirzah Hailey: employees also placed theirs on as well. So we start looking around excited to see all of the Ole School classics like I had just plain white leather which I plan to paint..So I finally approach the counter to tell them my dilemma & they advised me on all of my options even tried on a really nice pair of blk suede boots. Little expensive but nice. I had my heart set on using my white leather skate boot I won in college years ago

Valentine Taieb: THE DOG I LOVE THE DOG 🐕 AND EVERYONE IS TOO FRIENDLY AND THERE IS A LOT OF CHOICE IT'S PARADISE

Natalie T: I had a great experience shopping here for roller skates. There was a lot to choose from and the employee gave me honest advice on how much I wanted to spend on my first pair while I’m learning.
