Sorry Folks... We aren't a skateshop...

First off, THANK YOU for calling us and don't hesitate, all you folks who are hitting us up and asking for Trucks, wheels, advice, and directions to local parks. Serisously, it is is an honor to be a part of your skateboarding life. Any time we can pick up we'll answer your calls and direct you to your resources! THANKS FOR CALLING!

And now, a small clarification:

We actually are not a "Skate Shop". We aren't a retail store, that is. We aren't a PLACE that sells stuff.

What we ARE is a small community of skateboarders who MAKE skateboard decks by hand. Rather, Old Lew is making them, Ben helps, Weston helps, and we all get along real well. Fickle Boards are handmade and relatively rare.

We will be releasing a public line of hand made decks this Spring (saaay April or May) Date to be announced. These will be carried in skate shops that see the future... and the future is that you'll soon have 2 alternatives:
...handmade skateboards from people who care...
and mass produced crap... that may come from people who care, or from corporate hype machines... it doesn't matter.

No matter what you buy, or what you ride, RIDE! Get out there and skate today. Go thirty, or do kickflips on the carpet, but push it today and get stoked. If you're hurt, work around it. If you can't ride, dream and plan. If it's crappy weather, get a road trip planned for spring. Or a trip south. Or for after you graduate...

Oh and by the way, you'll be able to order your fickle board this May/June! Make sure to buy everything from The Galaxie Skate Shop, Demented, Black List, or wherever there is a skateboarding-exclusive shop that supports the community. And hey, not the mall shops, okay kids? Just trust us. if you want anything good for the future, tell you moms to shop at a REAL skateboard shop! Just a friendly suggestion.

Dump your girlfriend. Quit smoking. Get sharp and get out there and shred! Kill it today!
