You are definitely underestimating the size of NHS there. And a good few other brands.
None of those you’ve mentioned were on that list. I wouldn’t expect them, either.
They probably sell well in city based SOS shops and thats about it.
You gotta remember…being into the good shit is still quite niche.
FA/Hockey seems to have a heavy skate shop presence with huge line of boards/ clothes in stock but rarely see anyone actually skating the boards.
The prices are ridiculous now £70-85 for a deck!!!
Never seen one of their boards outside a shop
Jacking up prices on decks is real weak. We all now how much a pro/team deck should cost and that is set in stone forever
Wood and shipping is increasing. We can’t have £50 pro boards forever.
It’s only set in stone forever if you’re Nick Zorlac.
Shoes and boards £50/£60 for the best part of three decades and now people complain? If we went with the pattern for house prices, boards and shoes should be £200/£300 now.
I definitely not complaining. It’s awesome that a lot of skateboarding hard goods stayed the same price for decades. Even the rise of YouTube brands didn’t fuck with that
Global shortages seems to have screwed trucks and I guess wheels so it stands to reason that decks are next.
I’m just saying it’s weak. Real weak
Edit - maybe I am complaining. Fuck FA
you want a northamptonshire villages section you just let me know pal
Why fuck FA? Fuck the YouTube brands selling their shit cheap than real skateboard companies because they’ve got no overheads.
I was being facetious after Haven’s comment about them being more expensive
Right, all too confusing now.
I think if that isn’t the standard price for a board, it will be soon.
Bank of England says £150!
Yes very banging!!
Enjoyed Dilos part too… dude is beast
Are FA and Hockey handled by different distributors in the UK? My local shop always has Hockey product but never FA.
Hopefully they’re just too embarrassed to stock a brand called Fucking Awesome.

Edit: Hoddle is to Pass-Port what Chocolate is to Girl…in case you were wondering wtf this is.
FA are out of Gimme 5 - Hockey are Keen Dist.
FA vid tomorrow?
Wow, what a week!
I like that trailer!
