When I asked…read moreif there were more she advised me (with a dismissive attitude) that they sold a lot at Christmas and people were taking there rides outside now. You lost the sale within 60 seconds. I feel in that short time she made several assumptions. I have since bought a trainer. The same one that was in your shop. The store I bought it from is servicing all three of our bikes, 1 for the trainer and 2 for the bikes we ride - outside

EXCELLENT experience. Went in with a broke binding thinking I was about to drop some money on new…read moreones. I dealt with Kyle one of the techs I believe. This dude was sooo very helpful. I have been boarding for a few years but, Kyle had all sorts of knowledge, info and was super easy to talk with about how to make my experience that much better. Needless to say I ended up purchasing some new boots and Kyle set them all up made sure the fit correctly really took the extra time customers don't usually get these days. He checked out my bindings was very clear on what the process would be. Free Flight had my new parts and had it all ready to go in about 1 1/2 weeks time. Once again thanks to Kyle and Free Flight for all the help.

How many times have you ever been to an outdoor outfitting store only to find that the employees…read morehave as much experience in the outdoors as your typical Eddie Bauer catalog model? That's the worst. Not here! The employees at this store know what they are talking about. They have hiked, skied, snowboarded, backpacked, camped, kayaked , canoed, you name it. Not only have they done it all, they are excited to help you find the right kind of gear to help you do it all. The store is very well stocked with everything you could need to explore your world. They have all the major brands as well as numerous local brands, as well. Plus, they have speakers and events to increase that sense of community. This has now officially become my go to spot for when I need any kind of outdoor gear.

Cabela's the company has everything the hunter or fisherman needs ("wants" is another story). And…read moreI hesitate to say this because my friends will think I've lost it but every time I visit this actual store I'm left feeling kind of empty. Now I like Cabela's products, I like their selection, and I get excited when the new catalog's arrived- I even ranked high enough as a customer to get the hardbound master catalog last year. So I AM a Cabela's guy, despite the ethical issue I have with these giant stores squashing the little independent gear dealers... My problem is that their website is so well organized, and it's so easy to shop from, I have little reason to visit the actual store. The staff is very good, so that's a plus. And you can try things on in the actual store, so if you're a tough size you'll be happy to visit here. I'm not, so internet shopping's easy for me... When in the area I want to stop in here to be oooed and awed by the huge selection of stuff. But often, the one specialty thing I actually need or want they're out of stock on! Last trip I left without buying anything! And the bargain cave in the back of the store is tough to like. I guess if you go there everyday and catch the good stuff when it hits the cave you can score. But whenever I go I'm amazed at the huge price they ask for the leftover/used stuff. I mean used sneakers need to be pretty cheap- who ends up paying these prices for returned stinky shoes? So I guess as a long distant visitor, the store leaves me wanting more, and I'm often more rewarded finding the smaller specialty fishing/hunting places in terms of "destination" store experiences. If you need an extra box of shells or some flys or whatever in a pinch, I suppose it's really nice to have this place in the area, but I personally usually plan ahead and pack plenty anyway. OK, their gun selection is really nice, but in that regard I already have what I need, and can't afford what I want!

At the last tent sale/20% off inside they happily ordered the size I needed and honored the 20% off, this time of course the are out of a woman's 9 and will not honor the discount. I asked to speak with the manager and he was this younger sarcastic guy who says they probably haven't ever given discount during a tent sale. This just is not professional to have not been a problem just like 5 months ago and it was no issue when he ordered the right size but now this young guy wants to be arrogant and on a power trip. He needs spoken to about how you respond to customers!!!

They've got the big brands like: Patagonia, Marmot, North Face, Columbia, etc. When it comes to apparel that will withstand a trip to the Alps (or who are we kidding, a January in Iowa City :D) they've got you covered! Five floors of retail ranging from -- apparel, footwear and equipment. Items for boating, fishing, cycling, skiing, running, golfing, hunting, climbing-- almost anything you could do outdoors, they have something for. For as much as they have in the store, you'd expect it to the be cluttered. But it is very easy to get around and find what you're looking for. They did a great job organizing items and utilizing each floor of space. (*There are a lot of stairs! You've been warned.*) I can't say I frequent here often, but when I do-- I leave with what I came for. Pricing is fair but I honestly go straight to the sale rack when I'm here. (I've always been a fan of the sidewalk sales during the summer. Always finding a new pair of shoes at a great price!) Staff is VERY knowledgeable and welcoming. The location is stellar, with the ramp right across the street.

For example - last winter I spilled battery acid all over my NorthFace winter jacket - the kind that goes down to your ankles. BUT it happened just late enough in the winter that Active Endeavors was gearing up for one of their annual sales, and guess what? I got a replacement jacket for nearly 50 percent off. Huzzah! It was a win for me because I got a new coat, and I had the opportunity to support a local business, which I love doing. Active Endeavors also has a killer shoe selection - I'm not sure if people know this, but it's worth checking out!
