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.

Howdy y'all! Did you like my little taste of Americana? I thought it might be relevant due to Obama winning the US elections. I have to be honest, the first time I heard his name on the tele, I thought it was Osama. I just thought, 'That doesn't sound quiiite right.' Anyways, enough about current political issues...and more about prices going up. Most bike companies have increased the prices on bikes across the board due to the price rise of raw materials such as steel and rubber and even fuel to ship the bikes over. So at the moment we're waiting on some companies to give us the new retail prices. Some prices have already been edited, like Wethepeople, GT BMX's and Haro and others will be changed in due course. Bare with us and if you're unsure...just give us a buzz!

It's been a super busy month for all of us at the shop. Where do I start? Matt and I have been exploring the inner jungles of Thailand with our bestest friend Alan. It was a great holiday and all I bought back was this lousy malaria Matt declared his convesion from the scum to Spurs...get in! 
Tommy is off fishing this week so good luck catching something big bro! Last but not least Johnny spent a well deserved break in sunny Cyprus. He enjoyed his time away but did not age well. In other news...most of the new '09 snow gear has arrived and it all looks awesome Keep checking the product pages for new stock.

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.

BMX Tip When buying a complete BMX, try to imagine what side you will do your grinds on. If you think you'll be doing them on the right hand side, go for a left hand drive bike so you don't damage your sprocket as much.
