Bud, Trace, from other side of the world: congrats on 7 years of rock’n’rolling the business! Though we are separated by time, land and water, we’re united by concrete.

Buddy!
Just wanted to let you know I got my order. That was pretty fast considering it was across the country from you. Also, thanks for all the extras. I love CW Mag and gotta get around to subscribing one of these days...
At any rate, thanks for the excellent service.

Hi Buddy-
I just wanted to tell you how awesome my experience with ordering a board through Tailtap. I can assure you that you made his upcoming 45th birthday by getting this shipped to me, and I will return for future purchases. My husband and girls have a slew of longboards, and have a list of future purchases. We are originally from NM, now live in Alaska so boarding for my husband and girls is only available 3-4 months a year. Even if your pirces are higher, I will return based on the service I received. If you ever want to come see Alaska, just give us a call.

Thanks again-
Julie V.



Hello, We have received the board this morning. That was a wonderful surprise for my son (14 years old) just getting out of bed. He has enjoy video, stick and magazines too.

Thanks a lot and sorry for my worry (in fact, mostly my son was worry),

Have a nice end of year,

I just purchased 2 Alva decks, the Classic 77 for my daughter and the Tri logo Pig for me today and I just got your email that they are already out the door! I have enjoyed your site since I rediscovered skateboarding after 20 years. Now I get to buy the reissues of the boards I wanted years ago.

Thanks Buddy. I look forward to my next tailtap purchase.

I got my Squid deck and Independent 169's this morning. 5 days to Sydney Australia. Not bad at all. Anyway I just wanted to say I got everything ok and thanks for the stickers and stuff. And especially Concrete Wave Magazine... the latest one isn't out here so that's always nice. But even better they cost 17 BUCKS an issue over here!!!!

Anyway thanks again,
Drew McTavish



Hi Buddy.
Just wanted to thank you for sending my new "39" deck so quickly, it was orderd on a Friday morning and shipped the same day. I received it in a week here in the northeast with a few extra goodies and the deck is a beauty and a blast to ride. I'll recomend to anyone out there to purchase this board if they are looking for a longboard. I'm thrilled with the deck. Thanks for getting it to me so fast and for all the great customer service.

Happy Holidays

So last week I got an order of DubCons I ordered but they were actually Mini Dubs. I called, a very nice girl sent out the Dub Cons that day for me and tossed in a T-shirt for my troubles. I sent back the mini's and yesterday got the wheels and the shirt. Thanks so much, you guys are rad.

Buddy, Buddy, Buddy!!! Thank you so much for signing this TailTap Exclusive Deck! It is awesome! I thought it looked great in the pictures on your website-but man it is way better looking in person! Very Nice and again thanks for setting it up and for signing it-that is awesome.
So I guess you can tell that the package arrived today! And that Logan Cruiser Deck is killer and those Gravity Wheels will work nice with this deck! And thanks for the extras that you threw in - I do appreciate it! Also thanks for the quick delivery!!! And have a great day Buddy, it has been a pleasure doing business with you again!

Dennis



Excellence should always be recognized! About 2 years ago I ordered a set of Yellow Magnesium Trackers from you, I don't quite remember exactly but there was a hang-up or something with the order, I received 2 emails from Buddy himself assuring me not to worry, I didn't and only waited 2 weeks or less. I was so impressed I even got a hand written note from Buddy. Fast forward to the first of this month I ordered a complete warp tail and pool king board bag, my purchase upon arrival exceeded my expectation. Today I ordered a Skate Designs Black Crown complete and already got an email saying it had been shipped. HAT'S OFF to your entire company. In this day where I can shop anywhere under the milkyway online or in person, I resolve myself and my sons to shop with you!

Thanks,
John



Good Morning Buddy,

My wonderful wife surprised me with a Dogtown Red Dog deck for our anniversary, once again what a great experience it is dealing with Tailtap. The box came full of other goodies, dvd's, stickers, magazines. On the behalf of our family, I would like to let you know that it has been a continued pleasure dealing with Tailtap.

All the best to you and your family.

Hi Buddy and Happy New Year, sorry for the delayed reply but i've had a few computer issues(all sorted now). Anyway just like to thank you and your staff for the awesome products and super fast shipping. It will all be put to good use

TO BUDDY CARR.

JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MINUTE TO SAY THANKS. I JUST RECEIVED MY BLACK HOSOI OLD SCHOOL HAMMERHEAD. I MUST SAY I THOUGHT 11.25 WAS A BIT MUCH FOR SHIPPING BUT WHEN I RECEIVED IT AND SAW THE CARE IN THE PACKAGING I WAS TOTALLY IMPRESSED. NOW I THINK I WANNA BUILD THE WHOLE THING 80'S STYLE. WHAT SIZE INDEPENDENT TRUCKS DO YOU RECOMMEND? ALSO IS THERE PRE CUT GRIP TAPE AVAILABLE?

TOLD A FRIEND ABOUT YOUR SITE AND HE WOULD LOVE TO GET AN OLD ROSKOPP #1. ANY STILL AROUND? THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

ONE HAPPY S.O.B.
BOB GREER

P.S. MOST PEOPLE JUST SEND E-MAILS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SOMETHING,BUT I WAS COMPLETELY SATISFIED AND THANKS FOR THE DVD,STICKERS AND SKATE MAG. NICE TOUCH! GREAT JOB MAN! GREAT JOB!




Hi Buddy, I just want to say that I was extremely positively surprised when I woke up this Saturday morning and checked my e-mails and saw that you had answered the e-mail I sent to TailTap just before I went to bed last night. It made me so happy even though the message was sad, because the deck I wanted is no longer produced. I have sent e-mails to other American skate companies over the last couple of years and have gotten disappointed as they often don't answer at all, even after reminders.

You also answered in a really friendly way and offered me advice and help to set up a board that would suit me. Your answer really made me feel that we're all part of a great community, not just customers and vendors:-)
By the way, fate had it that after reading your answer I clicked into the Swedish 2fun.se website and there was a video with you, Buddy:-)
Keep up your GOOD work,

Hi, all arrived in the post today, all thanks to "The one and only one stop sk8 shop". Excellent service, I cant praise you enough! Take it easy and be in for a gripper soon!

Cheers!

I cannot believe how fast this package was shipped. It's only Thursday and my order went in on Sunday, got processed and shipped out. I've been tracking it on the Fedex site and they say it's on the truck for delivery.......I'm spreading the word about your site around here.......

Praise the board
Bryan




Hey Buddy. Just want to say thanks for the merch, it's great. I just got it yesterday, nothing to do with your end it was stuck in a post office so it had to be collected. I will be back to get some more stuff soon enough though.

Thanks again,
-Gav

Hi Buddy Carr and all workers on Tailtap.com I just wanna say that I am very pleased with my order. My NEW helmet triple 8 fits like a glove. Powell Rat Bones 2 60mm very niceeee. Thanks again and have a nice day.

Best regards from: Jonny K.

I've actually had it for over a week but because of a minor injury I haven't really been able to ride it yet. However, I just got back from the skate park and I am totally stoked. There is no substitution for quality and that OMA deck is dripping with it. I was riding a Sports Authority special. Is it my imagination or has deck quality increased substatially over the last 18 years (when I last purchased and rode anything indicative of the then current "quality" decks)? Just on looks alone, of the OMA "Old Style", with its swoops and curves of the tail and nose and the deep pockets of the concave this thing belongs in the Modern Museum of Art.

I'm so grateful for having found you guys online and it's so comforting knowing there is someone out there catering to born agains and diehards.

Thanks for the great service and excellent quality products (OMA, Independent, Autobahn).

-Chris C.




Thanks guys! Just got the smaller Gyros in, order was processed and delivered superfast. Product surpassed my expectations ~ You guys got it dialed! I'll be back, eyeballing some Rainskates wheels now and maybe a deck to go along with 'em ... Keep it up!

All the best

ODE TO TAILTAP

If ever an issue, a problem, despair
one can fully rely on your Customer Care
Oh, the worries I had that vanished right there
Yes, the service you give is way beyond compare

And now with new mini-Gyro's
under a deck with nose so round it sure ain't a square
I'm counting on, finally, landing an air

But if that doesn't happen or if I do not dare ...
At least the speed that they give me
will show all others ... my derrière!

Dear Buddy and Traci,

Amazing ! ! ! I Placed my order just before Christmas and it arrived Christmas Eve. My package arrived in one short week during the busiest postal times of the year, along with all the extra cool stuff that you send. You guys are definitley my favourite online shopping skate shop. Actually, I'm placing another order after I finish this email. Thanks once again for providing such excellent service.

Dado, from the Great White North



Buddy and Co.,

Thanks so much for the fast, safe shipping of the kid's pad set I bought for my nephew for Christmas, he went bonkers over it! The extra goodies in the box were nice as well, I am a CW subscriber already, but I will be passing this issue on to another fellow skater, in hopes he too may dig it and subscribe. Happy Holidays to you and your family, and thanks again, I will definitely shop again with you.

Buddy, Traci

I am so grateful for the kind service and gentle nature in which you run your business. It's a pleasure to be even remotely associated with such fine people. I am pleased, in a word. I have skated for 34 years. In this time I have met a great many people. It's been a constant to meet only the nicest sort in all those years and it's my good fortune to have picked skateboarding as a pasttime. Only the nicest dwell within it's tight curves and spacious dichotomy. Buddy, Traci, I thank you for what can only be described as your "standard" service. Standard might tend to sell such service short but suffice it to say I will only buy at TailTap. Enclosed is my pic [as promised to Buddy] from 1974. Black Knight in hand, Bobby Brady shirt for all to see. Pro Keds and bell bottoms proudly displayed, I am proud to be a skater for over 30 years.

Old's cool.................. I'll never change.

All my love.....

I love the first hosoi 07 hammerhead so much that I have to buy one to hang on my wall as art. Thanks again for providing such a great service. One happy OLD School Canadian skater. Dado

Hi. My order arrived today, faster delivery than many UK stores, and I wanted to say thanks for all the help with the order and how stoked Iam with all the great stuff you also threw in. As for the DTS florence set-up, my kid is going to be so excited to find that under the tree come xmas morning.

Anyway, thanks again. It really is a pleasure to buy stuff from you guys.

Cheers

Buddy, thanks for the quick turnaround and getting the board to me yesterday. I believe this S.Alba reissue is as close as you can get to the OG, with the only exception is the Santa Cruz logo on top, which looks great. I appreciate you holding it for me and getting it to me so fast, I started setting it up last night with some yellow Gyro's; but can't decide between my Indy's, OG Gullwing Pro's or Motobilt's. Thanks again for the outstanding customer service!

Mark


Hi, I just wanted to thank you for shipping my new Mini Z THAT fast! Wow! I did never expect that! It needed just one week...It's a rad deck! Thank you for all the free stuff you've send within the package! BEST SHOPPING EXPERIENCE EVER! WILL BUY FROM YOU SOON AGAIN!

Just to let you know I received the board today. It looks so great that my 14 year-old son is willing to give up newschool skating to start considering oldschool! Got to store it in a safer! The t-shirt is great and thanks for the stickers, perfect for my kids! Thanks again for your advices and professionalism.

I received my order today of the Jaw Bone and Concrete Wave Banner...they are great and thank you for the gift of the Concrete Wave issue and the Evolutions DVD. You guys are really great! Hope to order from you again soon.

- Fred



I just got back from the Oregon trifecta where I got the chance to try the bennett alligators I got from you. They deliver on the promise of rebound and springiness that many others advertise but fall way short on. They are at home on the pavement of city streets. I used my long board for basic transport every where I went and these wheels never surprised me or let me down. This was very important after breaking the small bone in my left fore arm again at holly farm on my park board. Hand poured and worth the money! Now I need some 99 or 101 duro 62 mm park wheels that can grip that polished dream land concrete! Thanks buddy.

-JOE


Just got my Jay Smith! Awesome again! Thanks for the impeccable service. It makes me want to buy a board every week!!! I will certainly spread the word to all my retro skate buddies. Summer 2007 = 1979!!! Great stuff. Thanks again.

Note : I found original white copers to slap on my 6ixtracks. Sick!!!

Traci, Buddy,

I am the very happy owner of 1 Alva Deck! I collected it this morning! Very pleased. I didn't realize you were in Carlsbad, when I was 16 I went there to skate, met a few names back then. I have to send you some pictures of the new Alva at work!

Again many thanks,

Dear Buddy, Thank you for everything! I couldn't believe it when I opened the box this morning. What a gorgeous way to start the day. You are fabulous.

Have a magnificent weekend,

Thank you again, Buddy. It's really wonderful to do business with a human being. I will be sure to recommend tailtap to all skate fiends who come my way. Take care,

Buddy, just wanted to say that you guys are awesome and thank you. Your company is very responsive to e-mails, carries only top end products and ships products in record time. I purchased one of your limited edition Z-flex Fiberglass skateboard decks and all aspects of the transactions were fantastic. If you are considering purchasing any legitimate skateboard equipment online, Tailtap is the company to go to!

Hi Buddy. The goods (two Dog Town & one Alva deck) are well arrived in Paris, France, thanks a lot for your effeciency! On the other hand, we were watching, my sons and me, “Animal Chin” which is one or our favourite Stacy Peralta movies (with Dog Town & Z-Boys of course) the day you sent me your last email and we’ve seen your name on the movie credit. Funny isn’t it? Since then, you have all our respect – for this second reason - from Paris, Sir!!

Cheers,

Traci/Buddy. The package arrived last week. All the decks are fab. The PPS Screamer is particularly georgeous, almost too good to ride.

Cheers.

Buddy those BDS Dragons that you got for me absolutely rule; super fast and will break and then re-engage, sort of like a thruster. Love them so much I would like another set if you can get them!!!!!

Thanks AL

Thanks for all of your help.

Thanks for the fast service and delivery of the decks I ordered. Thanks for the Concrete Wave Magazine. JJ Rudisill (graphic designer/artist) and myself got a lot a support from CW Mag for the "Old Man Jam" held in Brooklyn last year. We'll definitely spread the word about Tailtap.com and its great service. Thanks again!

Jeff D.


Thanks for the gear guys, in particular the free CW mag and the few free stickers. That edition of CW is not available in Australia yet so really stoked.

Cheers,

Buddy, thanks for the help on the Warptail II. You were right, my son loves the board. Thanks for the extra stuff too. He has watched the video a million times. I will definitely recommend you to everyone. Thanks again and if he needs anything else I'll be calling.


Hi Traci and everyone at Tailtap! I received my parcel yesterday and it's all good! Only six days between Carlsbad and my little village "de Provence"...Once again, Tailtap scores! Many thanks and Merry Christmas to you all!

Thanks heaps for replacing my Alva Tri-logo skateboard when it started cracking. Also thanks for sending the replacement tail bone, that was rad. I can't believe how nice and easy tailtap.com is to buy and work with. I'll be buying all my skate supplies from you guys from now on. Also, the board goes sick.

Cheers Chris Rutherford (happy customer)


Buddy, I did get the box yesterday. You guys at Tailtap are awesome. Tailtap rules! I will build the DTS with classic tracker trucks just like I had in 1978. The riser pads and mounting screws were missing but I can take care of that. I will be calling Tailtap again to order the 30'' Jay Adams Z-flex fiberglass reissue when they are released. I hope they don't cost an arm and a leg.

Take care dude!


Just received my order plus the extras. I'm really stoked. You rule, Buddy!

Matt B.


I have got the grip tape,and fitted it today and wow what a wicked piece it is now that it`s all finished. I can't thank you enough for the service you have given me and I will use your company again and recommend it to everyone I know.

Thanx again,

Hi all at www.TailTap.com. I got my Buddy Carr deck and the Jaw Bone and Edger Grip. The deck is the nicest I have seen in many years, the concave is superb. I am gonna test the board SOON and I am sure that I will be happy as hell. Many thanks to you all at TailTap. I am gonna buy more stuff from you some day in the future. Have a nice day and happy skating guys!

Thanks for shipping the Lester deck to me! I've been skating for 21 years and it was my first pro deck that I ever got. I worshipped not only the deck but Lester too. He was my favourite skater of all time and when I heard they re-issued the leaf board, I nearly had a heartattack.

Mike



Thanks to Traci for taking care of a PayPal problem and getting my order sorted pronto. It’s great to know that excellent, personal customer service still exists. I’m happy to have found a place where I can get the equipment I used to drool over as a kid in cold and rainy England as I pored over the skate mags I used to ‘borrow’ from the newsagents. Now I live in California and have access to a couple of parks I’m looking forward, after a 25 year plus wait, to riding the Alva board that I couldn’t afford all those years ago. And with Tracker trucks, too! I’m lovin’ it.

Michael G


Just wanted to thank your guys at Tailtap for taking care of me. They are definitely on top of it there. Thanks CJ.

Kam


You guys are great. I would like to contact Edger grip tape directly to let them know what a great job you guys have done representing them and what a great product they have. How can I get in touch with them? Can you find out for me? An email address or phone number would be great. I would really love to let them know how great you guys are doing for them and again how great their grip tape is. I also have some questions for them about their product, so thanks for helping me get in touch with them.

Sincerely,
Adam A. - Fort Lauderdale, Florida


BUDDY! I GOT THE SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT MADE MY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tell your friends to address you as Saint Carr from now on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY!!! You guys are life savers. I guess they aren’t making that style anymore and I have scoured all of LA and cannot find them! I am so excited!

Buddy you RAWK!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Desiree - Los Angeles, CA



Thanks for your quick reply Buddy, I really appreciate it. Just to let you know, I first tried to order these wheels through Oldstar skateshop but they had trouble with the order and didn't get back to me until 4 days later, so I decided to try you guys. Yeah Iwould love a shirt, size large if you have one. If it matters for your marketing, I heard about you guys through Concrete Wave magazine. Thanks again for the quick response and have a great day.

Will Huizenga




Hi, we received the tailbone. Thank you so much! Also, I wanted to thank you for the DVD you sent out as well! That was very much appreciated! My son LOVES that movie. You guys really have great customer service, and we will definitely order from your company again!

Thanks Again :)

Thanks for the Brilliant Board, arrived today, super service. I collect 70s re-issues and have an Alva, Logan and Warptail. Any more you would recommend.

Thanks Again,

Just wanted to drop a line and say thanks for being awesome. My order got here promptly, and I'm diggin' all those stickers and the issue of Concrete Wave I got! I will definitely be making another order at Tailtap.

Thanks again,
Matt H.



Alright man, got the Gyros, WHOA THEY ARE FAT ! :D, I love em, I get a little hang but they kick the ramp nicely, just wanted to say thanks for getting them here so quickly. Later man




Buddy, just got the yellow Gyros. Holy Shit!!!!!! Damn flash back time, these wheels are perfect in every way. Greens will be here tomorrow. I'm ordering another two sets next week. Just to keep, but these two sets will be skated.

THANKS AGAIN
Mark Sullivan




Hi Tailtap! I've just received my order only 7 days later! You guys know what efficient work means! I want to thank you for all the extra stuff contained in the parcel and let you know that you've refreshed my skateboard attitude just by sending these impossible-to-find parts in France! I'm 36 and I live near Avignon in Provence. I've never left France. I do love skateboarding since my first contact in 1978 and it is always the main seed in my secret garden! I try to be a skateboard-graphics oriented designer so I'll be proud to design anything for you, Tailtap or whoever, even for free. It's time to water the garden!!! Thanks again for this Xmas in april and I hope to order more asap!

Philippe Beaufrere


Thanks for sending the Best of the West guide, it's awesome. I've got two weeks vacation at the end of April now I know where to go. And as for the Concrete Wave Buyer's Guide, that is where I got the idea to shop with you guys.

Thanks,

Buddy, first you send me a tracking number, then to beat all you send me free stickers and magazines with the well-packed decks I ordered. What's the problem, man? Are you looking for repeat business or something? Well, you'll get what's comin' to ya! Thanks for the sweet decks and great service. Already skated the Pirate and dig it. The Stefaun is going straight to a ditch tomorrow!

Hey there guys. Just a quick email to let you know that the "my freedamn" books arrived this morning. I am a tshirt designer doing my own thing releasing a range twice a year while working fulltime as a graphic designer. Having only heard about these books and not actually having laid eyes on them, I almost had tears in my eyes when I got the chance to flick through them - they are absolutely incredible! You were by far the easiest to deal with(I emailed about 15 places worldwide trying to track these down), and you also had the most competitive prices. I have no hesitation recommending you guys to anyone, and I will certainly use you again - particularly on future editions of 'My Freedamn' and related titles. Massive kudos, and thank you again. Please feel free to use me as a reference in any marketing efforts.

Kind Regards,

I just put in the order for the silver Recluse, and I wanted to tell you that I've heard nothing but great things about your customer service. I wish all the online stores I've bought from were as quick and informative as you guys.

Hi Buddy,

Many thanks, it came into my mailbox earlier today and is sure looking good. I can hardly wait to get going and just have to get some trucks now and put together the board.

G'day guys,

The books and mags I ordered via surface mail arrived beautifully packed early this month. Thought I'd let you know you have a happy customer.

Hey Buddy, I love the new Hosoi board I got. It is incredible. I wonder now why I I ever started riding the new school shapes. Will this board be available in the future? Or is it limited?

Thanks,
Jasen Spinks




Hi Tailtap,

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the quality of service and products that I recently received from you folx. You'd think that most or all businesses would be proscribing to the basic ethic of "customer satisfaction", but woe, it ain't so. The Buddy Carr deck is awesome, and I really appreciate the bonus Concrete Wave mags that you sent as well. Additionally, the order got here quickly! (oh yeah)! So to sum things up, thank you and well done! Oh yeah, if there's some way of keeping a note, please contact me when the Edger Flat Pigs come in... I'd like to get one.

cheers,

Allen Wood




Hi Buddy,

Got the board bag today and it's so sweet. I can get a ton of stuff in there in all different configurations. I'm stoked like you said I'd be. Hey, thank you for the magazine and skate park guide too. Hah, I'll be going to Seattle over the summer and that book will come in handy.

Thanks again man.

Hi Buddy,

Just wanted to say thanks for my latest order, which arrived today. Your comment about the cold, grey, wet English winters cracked me up! Luckily we have a ton of indoor parks - pity they're all over 100 miles away from me - I've clocked up 5000 miles in my car since December :)

It's always a pleasure to buy stuff from your site - your delivery speed is amazing and I love all the goodies! Keep up the good work, man!

Hi Buddy,

It's Andrew here in Australia, just letting you know that the 'Alva' arrived the other day. What can I say? Nothing short of 'Totally Awesome!" From the moment I opened that box and saw that shape, I've been blown away...I haven't been able to get off the thing, the ride is a dream and it just keeps getting better. The setup....trucks, wheels, and risers are beyond description, I just seem to find myself staring at them a lot. I'm already putting money aside to purchase another one off of you in the near future. I think I'm going to have a long time partnership with this deck.The freebies were cool, thanks.

You guys live in skateboard nirvana after checking out what's on offer in the 'Best Of The West'. Anyway Buddy, I will be contacting you in the near future in relation to getting some more gear. Thanks for putting the best thing I've ever skated under my feet.

As to what you said on the invoice "I hope this gets your skate stoke fired up" I'M STOKED!!

Cheers
Andrew



Hi Buddy!

Happy new year! I just got the info that the packet has arrived, thanks for another smooth transaction!

Later,

Hi Buddy,

Just wanted to let you know that my order was received. May I say how pleased we were from start to finish. First with your quick response immediately when I placed it.

Second, that it arrived before the six day expected delivery.

Third, that in addition to the order, the company sent a Concrete Wave Mag, a West Coast Skateboard Guide, & Skateboard Calendar, all at no extra charge.

I have to say, I was initially leary of placing an order on line, not knowing anything about the company, when our local skate company that we deal with all the time was not able to get the product ordered.

We are very pleased with the excellent service that we have received, and would not hesitate to order from your company again.

Thanks for making it happen. Our son will be thrilled.

Sincerely,
The Laurita Family
Happy Holidays.




THE BOARD ARRIVED ... My kid is going to be over the moon!!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!

Traci,

Thanks again for your quick response and letting me know the shipping time frame. Yeah they will be here for Christmas THANK YOU!!!! We have been looking all over the web for these pads and everywhere was sold out. I did a google search on them and your site came up (YEA!!) and you had them. We are buying these for our two boys so thanks again!!!! I also want to say what great customer service you have. Have a great Holiday Season and we will be shopping from you again!!!

Buddy,

My stuff arrived last Friday - 5 working days from the US to AUS is fantastic!!

I would love to tell you that I have put the deck together and taken it for a rip, unfortunately my wife has decided the box should stay intact, have some fancy paper put around it and sit under the Christmas tree until December 25. Not that I am counting but there is only 12 more sleeps - this reminds me of Christmas '78 when I sent a letter to the fat man in red asking for my first set of Kryptonics (70mm greens). Still got 'em and session them every now and then.

Who would have thought at 41 I would still be stoked on the same stuff I was as a 15 year old.

Hope the fat dude in red pyjamas finds something nice in his bag for you too.

Cheers,
Mick




Hey Buddy,

I want to thank you for my order last week! You really set me up good! Thanks a lot for the cool extra stickers, the skatepark guide and the calendar. You made my Christmas!

Thanks again,

Wow, I don't no what to say. I receive my order, and upon holding the envelope, I notice that it's a tad too heavy. HHHHMMMMMMMMM? Wait a second, what do we have here? I think you made a mistake upon packing it for shipment. The yellow tail was all that I ordered. But a calender, a skate guide, stickers, and the crown jewel - "Evolutions" DVD!!!!!!!! FUUUUUUCK! I just had to take the time to say thank you, so, THANK YOU!

I can't wait to see the look on my Nephews face when he pushes play on the machine! MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!(my way of saying) you just made my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God bless & Merry Christmas "LIFE IS A FIELD TRIP"

Awesome service guys! I ordered the Duane Peters video and some stickers this time and I always get more than what I ordered! Extra stickers, poster, skatepark guide, a copy of the latest CW.

Thanks All!

Hi,

I got the deck last night. Thanks SO much!

Hi, I arrived home on Monday to find that my Powell Vato deck had arrived all the way from the USA, I couldn't wait to open it....As soon as it was out of the cardboard it instantly took me back to the eighties and when I first started skating. Getting hold of any board other than the usually 'modern' shapes is not that easy in this country, so finding you guys was amazing (and the total cost was about what I would have to pay over here). Many Thanks for the stickers and buyers guide you put in with the deck, it is much appreciated. Maybe you could recommend trucks and wheels for my new deck - I ride mainly old seventies parks and ramps. I will be buying stuff from you in the future thats for sure. Thanks again.

Hey Tailtap--

Just received the Powell Bowlriders I ordered from you and want to say THANKS A LOT for all the extra free stuff--2 issues of Concrete Wave, Best of the West, and all the stickers. What a surprise. You guys rule. I'll definitely tell everyone I know who skates to order from you guys in the future. You guys are what good business is all about.
Dig yourself.

Hello, Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent service you provided shipping my skateboard.  I purchased a McGill re-issue from you about a week and a half ago and received it in about a weeks time.  Really fast and the board looks fantastic. 
 
Thanks again,
Brady

Hey Buddy, everything arrived just fine. I appreciate the good communication and speed of your service and I'll be doing business with you again in the near future.
 
Thanks,

THANKS!!! I got it, and I'll be ordering again in about 10 days. THANKS AGAIN!!!

Chris

Got the GSD's today!!! Hell yeah... Itching to get one set up and going... They are perfect!!! My favorite stick from back in the day. Man, I am stoked...
Thanks a ton.

Hi buddy. A massive British thanx from myself. I received the items this morning, all are in one piece and i'm just about to sit back, crack a beer and flick through that mag you sent over. It's 22:17pm/15th feb, and with your help I've got all the items I need to complete the 1989 Hawk display.

Hi. I should've heeded the warning on your site about getting hooked on Edger
tape, but I tried it all the same and now nothing else will do. Please sell me another fix!
