Flywheel Skate & Style

Portland
Board Store

There's nothing worse than buying a skateboard and getting looked down on by the 12yr-old shop owner, except having him beat you up when you ask for rollerblades. Avoid both predicaments at Flywheel Skate & Style, an Alberta shop just opened by a lifelong roller derby bruiser that stocks everything you need for boarding, derbying, and roller hockeying, and specifically designed its interview process to weed out condescending losers (booo, condescending losers!!) and hire people who're legitimately interested in getting others involved in rollersports (yayyy, those people!!).
