Bay Area Skateboarding News - Orbit Decks are BACK IN STOCK!
Orbit Decks are BACK IN STOCK and just as HOT!
Our decks are made from some of the highest quality reinforced wood. We have graphics with our logo and other artwork. You can get a top of the line deck for a fraction of the cost. Stop buying decks that break right away! Stop overpaying for decks!!
Plus when you bring in your old deck to get a new one we’ll do a few things for you.
First, we’ll give you credit for any old parts that you want to redeem for cash value towards your next purchase. Our dead or alive program says that we’ll give you credit towards your next purchase if your deck, wheels, trucks or whatever is still working or broken, dead or alive!
If you broke your deck bring it in and we’ll give you credit for your broken deck. You can use your new deck with your old wheels and we’ll install it for you or you can turn your old trucks and wheels in for credit and get new ones. Either way we’ll install it for you.
