The Skateboard Mag article on Allied Board Shop
The Skateboard Mag, September 2010
In the spring of 2006, Crispin Barraza abandoned running Asylum skate shop in Oceanside, California to open Allied Board Shop in nearby Escondido. His goal was simple: To have a down-home skate shop that supports skateboarders, where they could cruise in, chill, watch a video and talk about skateboarding.
Catering to mostly core skateboarders in two locations, one in Escondido and one in cyberspace (alliedboardshop.com), Allied’s “skateboard and shoe walls speak for themselves,” according to Barraza. “We have everyone to beat when it comes to selection and pricing.
“Skateboarders from Escondido a pure street,” Barraza continues, “No fancy skateparks here. We also have really good pools and ditches, but that shit’s kept under wraps. Allied supports the scene the best it can. We have signings and video premieres, but more importantly, we have everyone’s back. If you blow out a bearing or need some hardware, we got you covered.”
