Skater owned and operated, Connections Skateshop has been around for a number of years now. The shop was previously owned by Loretta Martin, mother of Lonnie Gallegos (fellow rollerblader and owner of Black Fabric). When Loretta decided to hang up her skate park and Skateshop duties, Jason Howard and Chris Fleener decided to step in and take over the shop to keep the tradition of running a Skateshop strictly for the skaters. We pride ourselves in supporting the most tasteful and exclusive inline gear. Connections Skateshop brings the best quality of skating gear and apparel to an industry that desperately needs it. We are the pros, so we know what is important to us skaters, and that's quality. We personally test all the hardware that comes in and out of our shop, so we can always suggest what we think will work best for your needs. Next time you think about going to someone else for your gear, just remember you are sacrificing quality by not shopping at Connections Skateshop. When you go through Connections Skateshop, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing you made the right choice by working with the people that have been in your shoes and are now on the other end of the aspect, still doing what we all love to do, and that's ROLL.
