Greetings. I have a skate shop project I am working on with some of the students at Journey School. We have Decks (Santa Cruz, Creature, Toy Machine, Enjoi, Verb, New Deal, ATM and more) Trucks (Independent, Thunder, Krux, etc.), Wheels (Spitfire, Slime Balls, DRKRM, Ricta, etc.), Bearings, hardware, grip tape… everything you need to either bring new life to an old setup or start fresh with a new ride. If interested, please PM me, and I can send an up-to-date inventory. Happy skating!
