First off I want to thank everyone in the community who supported the shop. It has been a great ride. I started this shop from nothing and all for the love of skateboarding. I didn’t care about the money or carrying the latest big name shoe drop. I wanted to build up a community, support skater owned and local brands.
About a year ago my life drastically changed and including my financial situation. The shop just became not feasible for me anymore.
I am very excited to announce that Eugene will still have a local, independent and skater owned shop. It will be in the same location under a different name and ownership.
Ryan and Alexa will take over the beginning of March under the name . They are locals who are passionate about skateboarding and roller skating. The shop and the community will be in great hands. Some things will change and some will remain the same. You can expect to still see the great national and local skate brands but also see roller skate brands as well.
I am thrilled that what I built will continue in great hands. Please give their page a follow and give them your support. We need to support local businesses, especially in the skate world. The culture and community depends on it.
Almonte will live on. I will be transitioning the name to a board brand. In the the near future be on the lookout for Almonte decks and clothing in local skate shops and skatepark pop ups around the area.
Thank you,
Ryan
