Big Poppa's opened because North Georgia skaters were driving an hour to buy a deck from someone who had never stood on one. We fixed that with a shop on Hickory Flat Hwy stocked by riders who know what actually holds up.

Walk in with a question and you get an answer, not a sales pitch. We will tell you the cheaper wheel is the right wheel, size a deck to your feet, and show a first-timer how to stand on it before they pay for anything.

The rest is community. Local sessions, brand demos, contests, and a wall of photos from the people who ride here. That is what a local skate shop is supposed to be.
