While freestyle equipment is still rare – and not usually found in your local skateshop – it’s never been easier to obtain dedicated products to make freestyle tricks easier, smoother, and more stylish. What follows is not an exhaustive list but a starting point highlighting some of the more comprehensive and well-respected manufacturers and retailers of freestyle product worldwide.
Note that inclusion in this list does not insinuate affiliation with or the approval of the WFSA, nor does an omission mean the opposite. If your website or brand has been left off and you think it should be included in this list, drop us an email with a link to your website and we’ll see what we can do.
USA
Decomposed
Decomposed has been around for a while and acts as a virtual one-stop shop for freestyle. With a constant flow of new shapes and products – including bargain completes – it’s a great place to both get your first freestyle setup or pick up a replacement set of trucks or wheels.
Mode Skateboards
Mode makes some of the highest-quality equipment in North America. Run by Terry Synnott, they sell skid plates, wheels and a selection of different hand-screened freestyle boards.
Moonshine
Moonshine have been around for a while now and have the biggest freestyle team going. They’ve got a series of pro models of varying shapes and sizes, with more always on the horizon. Whatever style of deck you’re looking for, Moonshine probably has you covered.
Seismic
Seismic manufacture a range of wheels, bearings and accessories for longboarding, slalom and freestyle; the 55mm Axon is their main offering for freestyle, and is the highest-grade urethane available.
Sk8Kings
Sk8kings is run by the Carrascos, a family with a long history in skateboarding. While primarily supplying the slalom scene, they also make a range of freestyle boards and wheels – and stock all the trucks and accessories you’ll ever need.
Waltz Skateboards
Waltz Skateboards started as a new project from former Mode rider Mike Osterman and fellow Youtuber Daniel Trujillo. In the last few years they’ve become one of the biggest freestyle brands in the USA with multiple deck shapes available.
CANADA
MLM Skates
No, this store has nothing to do with multi-level marketing schemes – MLM is named after Canada’s “Mongo” Lloyd & Brazil’s Lucas B. Melo. This is Canada’s only dedicated freestyle webstore at the time of writing, and Mongo’s doing what he can to make freestyle accessible and affordable north of the border. For that alone, he deserves the community’s support.
Skull Skates
These guys are legendary, and should need no introduction. They do occasionally do freestyle shapes, but usually carry accessories like skid plates and the Momentum freestyle wheels.
GERMANY
Yoyo’s Shop
Yoyo Schulz was the sole supplier of the European scene for a long time. Now his webshop has effectively closed, but if you contact him he always has some supplies. He also cuts a range of tail and nose skids which are regarded by many as the best in the business.
East Frisian Skateboards
Starting out as a community/school for skateboarding in Germany, East Frisian Skateboards has now expanded into designing its own freestyle decks and building out a trans-European freestyle team.
Never Enough Skates
Never Enough is effectively the European version of Decomposed – only with a better website. Their decks are generally slightly wider than the typical 7.25″ modern freestyle board, but they offer reasonably-priced completes as well as all the typical supplies.
Little Wheels
Little Wheels is run by German freestyle OG Bernhard Kuempel, and over the years he has hand-poured a selection of wheels and bushings for freestyle use.
Marshall Skateboarding
Marshall Skateboarding’s selection is predominately based around Decomposed boards, Powell reissues and budget-level trucks, which makes them pretty good for the beginner or newcomer.
HUNGARY
Cirus
Cirus have been quietly tinkering away out in Hungary for the best part of a decade now, manufacturing boards themselves and selling both directly to customer and further afield through Offset Skate Supply and Nose and Tail. Their webshop has a couple of freestyle shapes available, but they don’t stock anything other than decks, so you’ll have to source your trucks, skids and wheels elsewhere.
ROMANIA
Nose and Tail
Marius Constantin – the most hard-working and noble promoter of freestyle in the world – has been lamenting for too long that it’s difficult to get freestyle products at reasonable prices in Romania, so in typical Marius fashion, he’s stepped up to the plate and made his own webshop. If you’re in Eastern Europe, this is the place to go for freestyle gear.
UK
Offset Skate Supply
This is the European home for Moonshine skateboards, and also stocks an array of freestyle-related products, including Seismic and Moonshine freestyle wheels, FILM and Paris freestyle-sized trucks, and a selection of skid plates, making it the only one-stop-shop for freestyle in the UK.
AUSTRALIA
Aikenheads
Aikenheads, based in Perth, may well be Australia’s only consistent source of freestyle-related products. Supply apparently is limited most of the time, but anything is better than nothing!
Flatlandia
Flatlandia is a new start-up in Australia, run by Carolyn Nguyen. It aims to not only make freestyle product more available, but to encourage and gather together freestylers in Australia’s burgeoning freestyle scene.
JAPAN
M80 Skateshop
M80 is, from what I understand, the center of Japan’s ever-growing freestyle scene. I wish I could tell you more than that, but my knowledge of Japanese is severely limited.
GEKKO
Based in Tokyo and run by Mirei Tsuchida’s father, GEKKO primarily specialises in Moonshine decks and completes – including special Japan-only editions of Moonshine’s freestyle shapes.
MALAYSIA
Protostyle Skateboards
Protostyle is Malaysia’s first-ever freestyle brand. At the time of writing I couldn’t find a website for them, so you’ll need an instagram account to contact them and order a deck for now.
