Unity Skate Shop


I finally got down to Kankakee, IL the other day to check out Unity Skate Shop. The guy that owns the place is a killer skateboarder and a stand up guy. Dana will not steer you wrong so buy shit from him. They are doing a whole lot for skateboarding in the Kankakee area. Dave, who rides for Unity and also promotes the shop is a destroyer and a killer musician. We used to jam back in the day and had some good sessions in the barn ramp too!! Did I mention that they have a barn ramp. Oh yes.



In addition to the country shred shed, the guys at Unity just built this crazy killer mini to wallride in the Unity shop!! It is at least 24' wide and is 3' tall on one side with big coping. The other end goes to wall ride with q-pipes in between. So the brave can do the love seat thing and wall ride over the Q-pipe!! Or just try to go as high as you can untill you touch the ceiling. As you can see, tons of fun!! The kids in the area are going nuts over this thing and I can understand why. It is great to have people supporting skateboarding out here in the country too!! No attitudes either, just 100% shred. Unity Skate Shop is located at 370 E Court Street Kankakee, IL
