Route One has a tough job, with online retailers being more popular, the good old fashioned skate shop is becoming increasingly less popular.\n\nRoute One do well to keep the spirit alive, they don't chase kids from just sitting around the store and hanging about. It's a place where they can meet like minded kids and brag about all the tricks they secretly didn't land.\n\nPrices are on par with online retailers. It's an expensive sport but you'll find a bargin or two in here. Blank Decks are cheap for skaters who just want to do it instead of making a fashion statement in the process and they sell the usual fiddly bits n bots that fine tuning your board requires.
