Sponge? I thought they closed down like last year?
edit: used to be on the 3rd floor

p.s. what setup you want to get anyway?

skeujin SG

i skated long ago when it was still despised by the authorities. havnt touched a board since and felt like it would be fun fooling around with a deck in my estate.

im a hawk fan so i wld love to have a bird house deck. seen some last time in jb but didnt buy cause hard to carry n dunno if they r genuine.

how much does a full set-up cost now?

Gato1001 SG

i believe nothing has changed.

deck - $85
truck - $95
hardware - $7
risers - $6
wheels - $55
bearings - $35

edit: oh yeah i forgot the grip tape - i think $15
