Doing a restoration on three vintage boards. While Freedom did not have the exact parts, as it's pretty hard to find stuff for 70's and 80's boards, they did spend the time to find current products that will work. They've always been professional and nice when I go in there, even though I'm an old guy at 52 years old.
I went to another shop in Tempe, and it was like dealing with a bunch of neandrathals. Rude, loud, and completely costing that shop revenue.
Freedom Board Shop is well stocked with parts and gear, plus plenty of current fashion stuff for the skate crowd. In the event this old dude needs some Vans, I'll be getting the from Freedom. Shop local, shop small businesses.
