The owner, Eric, is a super cool guy and has been skating forever so he knows his stuff. Whenever I'm back in the area, I always stop in. Johnny Rad's is the only skate shop I'd go to. Period.

Johnny Rads is by far the most authentic skate shop in the area. If you are a real skater, this is…read morethe only place to shop. If you are just starting out and need some good advice from a real skater, talk to the owner! Eric is an awesome person who is always looking to support his customers in any way he can. Don't go to some chain store employing pimple faced know-it-alls, support your community and get quality equipment from THE REAL DEAL!! I have shopped at Johnny Rads since I was a kid, and will continue to support this business for all the right reasons :)

I have been going to The Darskide for as long as I can remember. I remember it being "The Darkside…read moreand Tattooing" when my cousin Jerry worked there as an artist when they were on the east side of Pine across from Wendys (Now Roots Juice Bar). I lived on Gold Street right down the hill behind the old shop. I moved back to the area about a year ago and things have changed and two locations later theyre now on Hilltop right around the corner from my house... Again... We (The company I work for) just recently partnered with The Darkside to bring a Skate event to the North state and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with Bruces professionalism and am proud to say that this is a place that I have shopped at for most of my adult life. Do I miss the old locations? Sure. The East side of Pine location was small, humble and cozy and I never felt unwelcome. When they took over the building after The Underground went Kaput everyone was excited to see what they would do with the space. Now on hilltop they have expanded into a skate shop as well. When I drive to work in the morning and pass by the Darkside and I see the Mural on the wall, I remember I'm Home.

I walked in looking for a bike for my growing son for his birthday. Randy met us at the door and…read moreshowed us what he had. Honestly it wasn't much due to COVID and shipping issues. but after spending some time with him and conversing we decided that we would buy from him. He showed us a Kona mountain Fire that was beautiful and exactly what we were needing. We also went to other bike shops but nobody showed the hospitality and customer skill that Randy has. We are very happy with our purchase. We got our son the Kona mountain bike and we didn't end up paying over a thousand dollars. Which I noticed at other bike shops either you were going to spend $500 or $2000 for a decent bike, no real middle ground. Thank you so much Randy we appreciate your kindness and interest in our purchase.

Best place in Redding to buy shoes from a customer service standpoint. My wife bought another pair…read moreof shoes from here recently, and it was an extremely positive and comfortable customer service experience. A couple of weeks later, a manufacturing defect showed itself. Morgan, remembered my wife by name and went out of her way to find a like for like replacement. I understand that she has recently been promoted to store manager and her efforts to make things right exceeded anyone's normal expectations. I don't know if the shoes were discontinued or what but they were not able to find a replacement; but E wound up with a different pair of shoes that likes equally as much. Stop in and see Morgan. She has skills when it comes to working with people. Always pleasant, never pushy or rude and absolutely respectful. Not too common these days.
