You just picked up major cool points with me pal

 I buy all my gear from him. He's making some pretty sweet shop decks that he's shaping and painting. At $35 a pop, they're more than worth it. He's also just a cool guy to shoot the shite with. 


Sold. wish id have found it yesterday. Ill probably go back this wknd if I don't have to work. I took two days off this week just to chill and skate

Not sure what kinds of set ups you're into, but Chris makes some nice larger decks (8.5") that are great for us old timers. I'm also a big fan of this company's stuff. Chris usually has one or two of their decks on hand:

Welcome

My favorite shapes from them are the Eclipse and the Necromancer - both are great as cruisers and park boards (my current Welcome set up has Stage 11 Indys (149s) with some re-issue 60 mm 90a rat bones and about 5/8" worth of risers ( I skate super loose) - it's awesome for skating downtown and at the park. I've got another more traditional set up with a 8.5" deck, venture trucks, and bones 100s wheels. Skating Reds bearings in both.
