You don’t always walk into a skateboard shop to buy.

The trouble is, some dealers don’t appreciate the fact. Whenever they see you, they want to see your money as well.

They don’t seem to understand that you’re not always in a position to buy. Because deciding on the skateboard equipment that’s right for you takes time. And reaching a decision isn’t as simple as just looking at photographs in magazines.

You need to feel the weight of a board. Compare the traction of various wheels. And, most important, talk about the various possibilities with somebody who knows what there talking about. Somebody who actually rides a skateboard himself.

Even then, you might still not be certain. You might want to go away and think. Get a second opinion by talking to friends.

At Hang Ten we appreciate this. We’re happy to discuss the differences between an Excellerator and a Kryptonic, a Tracker and a Gullwing.

All of which may seem very obvious to you. Unless you have yet to visit those dealers whose enthusiasm for skateboarding is no greater than the money in their pocket at the end of the day.

We’ll be happy to see you at any time. Or, if you’d like a pleasant surprise, send us a stamped addressed envelope, and we’ll be happy to send vou our price list.

We now carry one of the widest ranges of stock available anywhere, and we’re even easier to get to. We’ve moved to less than a hundred yards from Shepherd’s Bush tube station.

Take a look at what we’ve got. Then take a look at us.
