Ask A Skate Shop - High Rollers

In the run-up to Skate Shop Day, we thought we'd reach out to some our favourite shops across the UK to ask them some not-so-serious questions about the highs and lows of running a skate shop.

This time we crossed the Irish Sea to chat to the legends from High Rollers over in Dublin. These boys have been holding it down since 2013 and have put out there fair share of bangers in this time - including their 'All Hallows Eve' edit from last year featuring our very own, Dylan Hughes - as well as putting on loads of sick events to help promote the local scene, so it's no surprise that they treated us to some top quality answers. Cheers boys!
