Score Some Discount Skate Shoes

You don't see a lot of really rich guys riding skateboards. That's why Vertical Urge sells everything for snowboarding and skateboarding at rock-bottom prices. From hats and boards priced to move to discount skate shoes, you can get our top-quality gear with top brand names and still be able to pay the rent. Our solid but low-cost inventory includes hard-to-find backpacks, sunglasses, watches and DVDs - including our very own full-length skateboard video, featuring Vertical Urge's East Coast-renowned skateboard team. We carry the best in foot apparel, including Adidas, Vans, Emerica and DVS skate shoes. But even great-looking footwear does you no good if your board is off its game, so here are some ways to keep your board in peak performance:

• Check for any cracked or broken parts
• Make sure the grip surface is not worn away, making it slippery
• Check for scraped edges on metal boards that may have become sharp
• Watch for splintered sections of wood boards that can cause cuts
• Lubricate the wheel ball bearings

When you're riding, it's as much about attitude and flair as it is about ability. To ride in style without sacrificing performance, try some DVS skate shoes. These limited editions are built to last, designed with a "kung-fu grip" sole for maximum agility, and padded to take abuse. This model even comes with airbags in the heels, so steer clear of little kids, you could hurt someone! Browse this site for more affordable discount skate shoes and apparel. For the perfect gift for guys or girls, give one of our Vertical Urge gift certificates, offered for use in the online store or our famous North Carolina location.
