I've been on my new board (Lush Chopper) every day since I got it From Vandem and I'm loving it. I come from straight cruising longboard (Vanguard Loaded) land but I wanted to get something to do bowls etc with my skate mates. I've not done much of that yet, but the agility of the board makes me feel pretty confident there - it feels more like a skateboard, turns and pops in a way I couldn't get either of my longboards to (other board is a Lush machine 80's). But I was surprised by how much fun it was downhill and on the London commute - it's not so good on rough terrain, but with the set up I got (Indy 169 + Orange orangutan fat free's) it sticks to the road and the improved turning circle really helps keep out of trouble.
Super fun! And Adam was very helpful and did a great job setting the board up for me - thanks!

I've been using these guys for most of my skateboarding needs for years. Since they brought in all the best brands under one roof and are always spouting good advice when I go to the shop, there's no reason to go anywhere else.
They're very knowledgeable and have carefully curated a very mixed selection of boards, from inexpensive firsts, to Germanic works of art. If they're stocking it, you can be sure it's great value.
- Daniel Shinnie, April 26, 2017
It's rare nowadays to get such amazing customer service but Vandem knock it out of the park every time. The staff are extremely knowledgeable, passionate, friendly and always happy to help. I'd say its the best service I've had from a shop ever actually!
- Adam Boyes, April 07, 2017
I accidentally ordered 1ft of grip tape instead of 3ft, instead of just sending it anyway I had a call from Adam a day after my purchase double checking it was correct. Over the phone he allowed me to correct my purchase and pay for amended order. The grip tape came a day after this and contained a bunch of stickers and a handwritten message on my invoice. Great customer service and really friendly guy, would 100% recommend and buy from them again :)

These guys are sick, I bought a board from them and got it within a working day but that is shadowed by the customer service they gave before and after purchase.

The Vandem shop has everything you could want to get your boarding fix, found my way into the Shop 3 times in one week. I highly advise chatting to Adam, hes definitely an expert in his field!
- Krunakge1, August 09, 2016
Top class service from you guys. I told a friend about it and they can't believe the set-up for the price. Amazingly fast service as well - I was standing on the board indoors less than 24 hours after ordering.
You will definitely be first on the list when I need to buy more kit.
- Steve Urwin, August 05, 2016
The best service, products, knowledge, prices and advice. Plus sofas and tea. All you want from any retail experience. But these guys go the extra mile with a personal tailored approach and extra freebies. Whether you are popping into the shop or ordering from thousands of miles away, these blokes will make sure you get the best every single time. From letting you know when your favourite wheels are back in stock to supporting UK events. These guys have been the core of the UK scene for decades and will look after you!

Product ordered: Vandem 11" Extra Coarse Griptape
Really good products, lovely people. Really helpful and they'll sort you with stuff that's perfect for what you want and at a good price. If you need longboard gear, these are the guys to go to. Only negative is the first time you go there if you don't drive it can be tricky to find but it's worth it.

Great selection of products and they are super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Perfect place to pick up anything you need for your skate/longboard, or just to soak up some advice in a good atmosphere. They will listen to what you need and guide you to a board that will suit you perfectly. Wholeheartedly recommended. Thanks dudes.
- Matt E, July 20, 2016

- Harry Phelps, July 20, 2016
I've never longboarded before, so I was looking around for my first board. Finally knew what I wanted but I wasn't sure on what trucks or any hardware I'd need. I emailed and then spoke on the phone to Adam who went over all the things I needed to get a great board, at an amazing price! Couldn't be happier!
- Claire Ballantyne, July 20, 2016
Product ordered: Sabre Longboard Bushings (Barrel)
I love the Grifter 3D I bought from Vandem! I ordered online and got very swift service with the board arriving the next working day. And the message that an awesome guy named Adam put on my receipt really added a personal touch. You guys seem awesome, I'll make sure to pop into the shop next time I'm in Bristol and come say hey to you guys! Also I have been wearing the shirt and advising everyone who asks about the logo to go and buy their gear from Vandem :D
- Liam Newitt, July 20, 2016
Excellent service... considering I'm quite selective about what I ride and I placed orders from 3 stores, best service out of the 3 and even went the extra mile to personally leave a message on my invoice about my goods and followed through with a request I made.
Will definitely be ordering from you again.
Thanks Adam (Head of almost everything) I believe it was that I read somewhere haha :D
