Hey Its me Joey Booth over at MOJO Skateboard Shop in Johnson City Tn.
I have had this shop a very long time. I really love coming into my shop each day. I cannot wait to see who stops in. Will it be a Brand New customer? Will it be an old cherished customer from the early 1990's when I first opened to stop in and say Hello. I never know and that is what makes it Fun.
I know some people could care less ive been opened for almost 30 years. But that's OK. this is my accomplishment, and I love it.
A lot of people shop on the internet, thinking they are saving $1 or $2. That's ok too. I don't blame them. times have changed, Everyone wants to buy their Fun on their phone and the internet. I know that's lots of fun. Push a button then magically something you saw a small picture of arrives at your house 2-5 days later. A Big brown truck brings you a box full of skateboard parts you had seen on the internet. That sounds like way more fun than walking into a old school skateboard shop. Who would wants to do that anyway. Just Some old guy that skated back in the early to mid 1970's (did they even have skateboards back then?) Greets you as you walk in. Says Hey! How are you doing today. or Sure is a nice day out today, you looking for anything in particular? Yes that sounds awful. Much better to push a button then get your stuff in a few days.
OOPS they did not say I needed Griptape.
Oh man, the wheels need bearings.
How do you get these bearings into the wheels?
How tight do you screws the screws down?
How do you put this griptape on the deck.Y
Yes, much more fun to order on the internet.
So you already know about, screws, grip and bearings.
It just sucks to walking into your local skateboard shop and see 100's of different
skateboards, wheels and trucks. Live in Person!
Pick them up, feel them.... see the actual feel and weight of each part and how they work.
Yes ordering you skateboards on the Internet is way more fun.
Stop into your local skateboard shop and say Hello today!
