I needed to get my daughter some softball gear and I had heard good things about underdog so I…read moreheaded that way. I was a bit overwhelmed because I wanted to get her quality stuff that fit well and comfortable. I asked the two employees a few questions and they immediately gave me every bit of help I could possibly ask for. Extremely patient,helpful,and welcoming are just a few of the great things I could say about them. After seeing them go above and beyond for an 8 year old starting softball I can easily say I'll always go to underdog for my sporting good needs.

Purchased a bicycle through eBay from this shop. Bicycle was paid in full, with a local pickup…read moreoption selected. When I called to confirm the pick up details of the bicycle, the shop said they were not willing to sell the bike for the price on eBay (which they set, and I paid in full) instead they wanted an additional $1000 more than I had already paid. So right now they have my money and the bike, which they will not turn over. eBay claim is pending. Dishonest seller.

One of the friendliest bike shops I've ever been to. They talked to me about my repair, they…read moreoffered advice (but didn't push anything), they chatted with me about local bike events and other neat bike stuff while I was waiting. One of the mechanics even stopped what he was doing so he could fix my bike and get me rolling again. A friendly little shop dog roamed the store while I was there. The store seemed to cater to everyone from casual bikers to hardcore riders. Recommended

I have been skating here with my family a couple times. I have brought my kids here for birthday…read moreparties and have even gone here on a date with my husband. I'm 30 and still enjoyed it very much! It's not very big but they have a nice set up. They have food and drinks. They have a game section. They keep their floor nice. They have nice employees. Some of their skates seem outdated, we have been missing insoles and laces too short. You can take them back up to the counter and they will happily replace them though. They can sometimes do "glow skate" for a little longer than my family enjoys. It hasn't been like that every time, so I'm not sure how long it's supposed to be. I don't mind skating in the dark a little but for an hour is too long for me. Even my kids were complaining that particular visit. Overall it's a pleasant family oriented place.

Ok, I have a very mixed review of this business…read more First, I haven't been here for years! What I remember from my previous visit was that it was dark, dirty and smelled bad. THAT has all changed. The new owners have cleaned it up, lightened it up and really done a nice job of renewing what once was a very tired skate rink. To me that gives it five stars. So, here is what took away stars for me. - one star for price. You have to pay $4.00 just to enter the door. Doesn't matter if you are not going to skate or not. However, I do at least understand that this policy keeps people (teens and kids especially) from just coming in to "hang out" with friends without having any real direction or purpose which could easily dissolve into unruly behavior. This policy has a logical reason for being in place. - two stars for a very illogical policy. Families with young children beware. No matter your child's age, if they can walk, they MUST pay for and wear skates while in the building. Seriously! My three year old had to pay $6.00 ($4.00 to enter and $2.00 for skates) just to be in the building. While I was there I talked with another mother whose sister-in-law's ONE YEAR OLD had to pay for and wear skates while in the building. That is so completely illogical I can only sit here and shake my head. I would love to give this business four stars for the great job they have done on their improvements, but I just can't consider them family friendly. I really hope they will reconsider their policy and make a change.
