It's certainly counterintuitive to write a review on a skateboard shop. It would seem that some of the customers, because of their counterculture philosophy, wouldn't read about popular trends... that said, I must commend the customer service that I received today. I visited Cowtown Skateboards to pick up some Christmas gifts for my 13-year-old son/skateboarder. These guys helped me understand without making me feel ignorant and gave me some smoking deals and some extra goodies. They loaded stuff in my car and offered me packing materials and additional support. What a great experience at Cowtown Skateboards! Bravo, boys. See you next time I'm back in Tempe!!
