Skatenotbored

I visited to get a family skateboard (for me and my 2 kids to share!). Lisa made the shopping experience very enjoyable for my kids. They picked out the board and wheels. Then Lisa got them involved with putting the ball bearings into the wheels and making up the skateboard. She also gave great advice on how to get started safely, making sure I had the right protective gear for my kids. Great as I’d be in big trouble if they hurt themselves on the board 😂 Talking to Lisa about the community work her skate shop does was inspiring. Very happy to buy from a business with a good community conscience. Sadly, my kids aren’t letting me have many turns on the skateboard I’ll be back soon to buy myself one. 😊 Chris

Popped in for a helmet and pads for my son as he just got his first skateboard. Staff were very friendly and super helpful. Helped us find the right sized helmet and pads for him and made sure they fit. Will definitely be visiting again for all future skate needs 😁

My local shop had no hard bushings, so I had to do an internet trawl and it came up with these folks at Skatenotbored. Given I ordered the bushings on Christmas Eve, I fully expected to receive them after New Year's. I was pleasantly surprised when they turned up on the 29th. Overall, it was a happy, quick and cheap(est on the internet) experience.

What a find! It was a treasure trove of everything skate and scooter. But the best thing was the owner. We went in asking for a repair to a scooter that had got a bit misaligned and she spent over an hour on both kids' scooters taking them apart, cleaning them all up, and making adjustments and repairs. All the while explaining to the kids what she was doing so they could learn. She even offered to video call if we ever wanted advice. She spends time with the local youth giving them opportunities and being a role model, she had a 'free parts' bucket and encourages kids with no pocket money to build their own scooters. This place wasn't just a shop, it was a place of hope and joy. Fabulous.

Super friendly, relaxed and supportive little shop. Focus mostly on skateboards and scooters and I am sure all needs are covered there. They however had one model of inline skates for children, which is what we were looking for. The skates are adjustable and I think good quality from a UK brand. Our daughter could try them on and skate around in the shop and she is now very happy with them.
