About Us

In 1961, George Periccos opened the now world famous "George's Portobello Fish Bar". 42 years later, his son Johnny decided to close down one of his dad's chip shops and open the greatest skate and BMX shop known to humanity... Halfpipe.

The staff at Halfpipe specialise in skateboards, snowboards, BMX and MTB. Halfpipe is an independent shop, run by riders for riders. Whether you're just starting out or practically a pro, all the Halfpipe lads are more than happy to help you out if you need assistance. So "drop in" and see us....spend some money.

So it's been a pretty hectic month here at Halfpipe. I went to ISPO show in Munich to look at all next season's snow products. 686 stuff looks amazing for next season. Not only is it 30% cheaper but they've got a collaboration with Levi's which is gonna be so sick.. We are also introducing Thirtytwo boots into the shop. We will also be stocking either Nitro boards or Ride boards...we havn't decided yet.

Charge bikes are bringing out the new Plug bikes out really soon and they look awesome ....and this is awesome aswell.

These should be coming out soon!

SKATER OF THE YEAR...CROWNED!

For two years in a row Matix team riders are named Skater of the Year. In 2006 Thrasher awarded Daewon Song Skater of the Year and 2007 Mark Johnson took S.O.T.Y. title. With the amount of coverage MJs been receiving in issues of every mag covering Lakai tours (not including his exclusive TWS issue and his three parts in Fully Flared), Marc is at the top of the S.O.T.Y. meter.

Congratulations Marc!

Pro Tips

BMX Tip If you're picking out any parts on your bike that you're unsure how to fit, bring your BMX into shop and we'll do it for you. We've got a fully equipped workshop and a mechanic who actually rides BMX and actually knows what he's doing.
