Cheapskates

"Cheapskates embodies skateboarding at its best. And there are countless famous signatures on the wall to prove it. Ron will hook you up with a good board and great conversation. Support our local skate shop, this place is a Memphis treasure!"

"I can not express my appreciation for Ron!! Christmas time and the flu. He delivered to my house. Greatly appreciated sir!! Some places in memphis can not be redone or replaced!! Merry Christmas and hope your parents get better sir. Thank you again!! Much love!! 8)"

"Got my first board here. The owner of the store (Ron) is super friendly."

"The definition of organized chaos, reminds me of my bedroom when I was 14. This little hole in the wall shop had exactly what I was searching for bushing wise (Shorty's Doh Dohs). The products are a little old and you can definitely tell. Such as discoloration of the urethane and dusty packaging. The owner Ron was a blast to chat with and I look forward to future conversation with the proud owner of a peavy snare drum that has held this establishment for 37 years, which is longer than I've been alive. Unfortunately the only methods of payment here today were cash or PayPal."

"Support your local skate shop! You've probably heard it before. It matters! Ron Hale, the owner, is honest. He's more concerned about getting you what you need to enjoy skating than in making money. Whether you're like me, getting back in to skating after 30+ years because your grandson is learning, or you're like my grandson and just starting out, your local skate shop is there for you. They'll answer questions and sell you what you need, not whatever they can. They'll also tell you the best parks and scenes and about upcoming events. Get to know them. If you live in Memphis, get to know Ron. You'll be glad you did. He runs a traditional (in the sense of what skate shops were like in the 70s and 80s) shop. It's not fancy. Shoot, he doesn't even accept credit cards (cash or PayPal only). But the vibe is exactly what it should be and the people are skaters. Everyone is friendly. No one is going to judge you. Just go in, get setup and then head out and enjoy the day on your board."
