Oklahoma City isn’t a world renowned skateboarding destination but that definitely doesn’t mean skateboarding doesn’t exist here. Actually it’s quite the opposite, in 2016 Oklahoma City native and professional skateboarder Kyle Walker won the most prestigious award in skateboarding – Thrasher Magazine’s “Skater Of The Year”. There are some deep skateboarding roots here that’s for sure.

Where you find skateboarders there is usually a skate shop or two close by and that is definitely the case here in Oklahoma City. These skate shops are the meeting hub for skateboarders and the backbone of the skateboarding community.

If you happen to be visiting “The Big Friendly” or just passing by and in need of a new skateboard deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, shoes, or new threads, be sure to show some support to these local skate shops listed below.

Money Ruins Everything Skate Supply

Money Ruins Everything is a newer Oklahoma skate shop but the owner is not new to skateboarding at all. Todd Millspaugh has been in the industry for thirty-years and is involved with wholesale skateboard and skateboarding gear sales. He actually co-founded his own sales agency in 2012, and based his head office in Los Angeles. Let’s just say he has spent a tremendous amount of time in skate shops throughout his career. With his travel schedule halted in 2020, he was unable to hit the roads as usual so he focused on the skateboarders in his hometown of Oklahoma City by holding events and opening his own skate shop.

Bringing his skills and knowledge back to Oklahoma and opening a skate shop is a big win for the local skateboarding community. With a fully stocked shop skateboarders can find just about everything they could ever need for skateboarding. Skateboard decks are plentiful from a range of top brands such as 5Boro, Welcome, FTP, Studio, Magenta, Krooked, Real, UMA, and more. If you’re in need of some new trucks there are Independent and Ace in a variety of sizes and wheels from Bones, Spitfire, Satori, SML, and Powell.

Skate shoes from top brands such as Lakai, Cariuma, Emerica, eS, Fallen, and Huf are ready to find a pair of feet and you can match your new shoes with cool new clothes Dickies, Brixton, Welcome, and Money Ruins Everything’s own clothing line.
