Maxwell Kaye hails from saltspring island. Every year he runs an awesome event there called Salt Spring Slasher! If you are on the coast in the fall, make sure to seek it out. Currently Max spends about half of his life living in germany and the other half lurking the stoop skatehouse here in Vancouver. As a result he races both the epic roads in Europe AND the epic roads here on the coast.

Omen – Phoenix – Deck
The Phoenix is the most innovative board for Omen’s 2015 offering. Designed by Dan Kasmar, and featuring a directional center drop, this board changes the way the human body integrates with the skateboard. This board is difficult to explain, but ergonomic to ride, with a truly “function over form” design plan. This is a team driven board that has been heavily demanded by our team of World Class Skaters.

About
About Us
Olivier J. Bashonga
Sales Associate and French Connection/Photographer
Coming from the land of poutine and beautiful women, Olivier can tell you whats up in two languages. He appreciates all things skateboarding and can get you set up if you are looking to get from A to B, go really fast, or slappy the nearest curb. If you don’t see him behind the front desk, he may very well be behind the lens capturing much of the fantastic talent here in Vancouver, or is jamming the nearest bowl he can find.
Mischa Chandler
Founder and CEO
Having already been a part of a Toronto based skateshop, Mischa knows the ropes. Originally from Onterrible, this transplanted Escarpment Surfer has run the gamut from building to breaking, buying to selling, learning to teaching, and everything in between that might involve a longboard. He is the quality control captain and makes sure that all product at Flatspot is top notch and priced right.
Flatspot Mission Statement
What is skateboarding? Why do people do it? Where is it going, and how is progress in skateboarding measured? Where does one discipline begin and the other end?
It is manner in which these questions are answered that creates the diversity and wide cultural vocabulary that populates our world of skate. It is not for us to give answers. For our customers or our community, or anyone.
Our place is merely to facilitate the range of ways in which skateboarding is approached. There is no correct way, there is no superior method, all that exists is play and expression. All shapes, forms and styles are welcome at Flatspot.
Just no scooters.

Shit happens. And this is certainly a decently sized steamy pile of it. Lets poke it with a stick to see what we can learn.

Flatspot Gift Cards
Getting a board for a longboarder can be like getting a book for a librarian, sometimes its best to let them choose.

Whats better, built in or not?
Bearings can be misleading and difficult to wrap your head around when shopping for new ones. Check this if your brain has been itching, hopefully we can dispell some myths and clear up some haziness.
