Want to work for a skate shop?

Ever wondered what it will be like working for a skate shop? We are always on the look-out for full and part time staff! If you are interested in finding out how a skate shop operates, send in your resume.

Please include a little write up on yourself;
Tell us abit about yourself i,e; age,name,nickname, mobile
what you are doing right now
what are your working experience(if any)
who's your fav skater
what's your fav brand etc.
when can you start work

Make it exciting and interesting. Something that will make us sit up and want to know more. Write to us regardless of your gender, race, sexuality, hobby, skater/inliner, whatever. If you are willing to learn and open to new experiences, then we are looking for you. Drop us your write up at gooks@pacific.net.sg.

p.s In case you don't know, we are located in Singapore. So, if you don't live in Singapore, I guess you will have to find your local skateshop and write in to them instead.

Fine Line Products

The 'Fine Line' is a range of limited products from Almost, Enjoi, Blind, Darkstar & Tensor that are EXCLUSIVELY for core stores/independent stores

: This range is designed to give something back to the grass roots skate shop,

: They are NOT to be sold to your larger multiple location retailers

: These products are NOT to be sold via mail-order/internet

: They are to encourage skaters to visit their local skate shop

: These products will not feature in our regular catalogues

So, if you have not seen these magnesium trucks online, it's because skatewarehouse, A1 skateboarding, skateamerica are not allowed to sell them. So lucky for us, being a small little shop in the middle of nowhere, we get to reap the rewards and sell special limited edition products!

How to: ollie

Learning how to ollie is probably the most important trick all skaters have to learn. Ollying is essentially just jumping and taking your board with you, but the trick is the foundation of lots of other tricks. Without the ollie, street skating pretty much wouldn't exist and ramp skating would be a lot less fun. Ollying can be a frustrating skill to master, but once you do, other maneuvers follow easily.
