Skateboard Shops

• truro go to sjz
• sjz in truro
• All gone, best bet is Truro.
• Kemeyel Toys no longer exists-incase you're trying to find it.
• Purple Planet is the only skate shop in St. Austell, don't bother with Planet Lifestyle - they are a surf shop that wants to be a skate shop but don't know the first thing about skating, and have been real rude to me and a lot of skaters I know. The people in Purple Planet are really friendly & helpful & they know there stuff. They deal with most labels and though they don't always have what you want in the shop, they can order things in. I've ordered a number of bits in the past and only twice they haven't been able to get it in (it was out of stock).
• guys planet Lifestyle upstairs and purple planet
• I don't suppose Ada Barlow's moved into that niech has she? If not, you should still be able to get any bike in the world, ever. So long as it's a Raliegh.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
