Seasons is a small skate shop run by three local skaters, Damon Vorce, Trevor Culley and Chris Battibulli. They opened in March 2010 on the corner of Lark and State Street here in Albany. Seasons is a great example of a small business able to survive in this modern day of giant corporations. They are humble people that are friendly to their customers and create a nice environment within the store.

Damon believes in his product and states, “Sure other stores sell skateboards, but we skate, we work hard to keep our store open. We aren’t a rich mall chain trying to make a buck off the skateboarding fad. We are skateboarding.” These guys are honest and true. They care about their customers and aren’t in it to simply take your money.

Unlike most other stores if you ask them about a product or brand, they know what they are talking about. They are knowledgable about every product they have in the store. They don’t push you to buy this or that, instead, they try to help you find something within your price range and aren’t afraid to chop the price down a few bucks for a friendly customer in need. They want to provide the best products possible and tend to the wants and needs of anyone who walks in. They represent Albany more than most of the stores in the city. They’re friendly guys you can strike up a conversation with and feel comfortable around.

The shop consists of products that represent the skateboard culture, but even if you don’t skateboard you can sure to find nice clothes to fit any style. You can find some high quality shoes, jackets, and hats as well. They also produce some of their own clothing with cool designs that represent Albany in a cool way.

If you are into skateboarding, they have hard goods for days, with an exceptional board wall that supports many companies, large and small. If you’re down for supporting small businesses or just want some nice threads, Seasons is the place to be.  Seasons is a shop full of nice employees and great products.  It’s definitely worth a visit if you ever happen to be walking down Lark Street. They help keep skateboarding alive and add some more culture here in Albany.
