Shops... |
|
|
|
You al know how it is... you're out on a brilliant day, having a great session, and you pop a bearing.
Damn
That's why it's handy to know what shops are around, so here's the ones I know of... |
|
|
|
Aberdeen |
|
|
|
Boarderline |
|
|
|
My shop of preference in Aberdeen, can be kinda hard to find if ya dunno where to look though... They're off McCombie's Court, which is a lil alley off Union Street, Aberdeen's High Street. Look for Christie's 99p shop, McCombie's Court is pretty much next to it.
Check their website!! |

Elementz |
|
|
|
Elementz is easier to find, having just moved to new premises... again near Christie's, Elementz is right on Union Street. I shouldn't voice personal opinion here, but I'm not so keen on Elementz...
Here's their website anyway (",) |

Granite Reef |
|
|
|
Granite Reef are more a clothing and surfing bunch of guys, but they do boarding hardware too, their stuff's worth checking out.... There's not really any easy was to describe how to find them... Starting from Union Street again, find Virgin, there's a set of stairs going down next to the shop (and a bloody good place that could make a Leap Of Faith with a little work). The stairs lead down to a market plaza, with R'n'B Music right opposite the end of the stairs. Granite Reef is on the same side as R'n'B, on the far left.
Again, take a look at their website!! |

RouteOne |
|
|
|
RouteOne is probably one of the easiest shops to find in Edinburgh, it's on Cockburn Street, not far from the city center. They cater for bladers, boarders, bikers, everyone! They do a good line in low-price hardware too...
To get to Cockburn Street, just go down teh bridge that runs down past teh train station (where all the tour buses park), then up the steep street right at the end of the bridge, RouteOne is on the left.
They're actually a chain, with shops all over the country, and do a mail-order catalog too, have a look at their website! |

Focus |
|
|
|
Focus are probably the best-known skateshop in Edinburgh. Best description I can give on how to find them is just down on the Grassmarket. I never really find them except by accident...
They carrry a MUCH wider range of skating gear than RouteOne though, so if your needs are mosre specific, or if you're just plain fussy about what kit you use, these guys are the better choice!
Check it out!! |
