3Ride Skate Shop Reopens Its Doors

3Ride Skate Shop has been around since 2001 owned and operated by Carrington Sydnor. It originally got its name because they sold three different types of sports at the shop: Skateboards, snowboards, and bicycles. Its original location was tucked behind some buildings in Timonium. Probably not the greatest location so they moved to 5918 York Road, Baltimore, MD. This location is neighboring to Zen West and the Senator Theatre. Business was thriving for awhile but as time went on the shop was beginning to become hard to withhold. Carrington isn't the wealthiest man in the world but he had a passion for skateboarding and providing quality products to the people. In 2012, he announced that he would no long be able to run the shop because it was too hard for him to make a living and support a family with the income that 3Ride was bringing in. March of 2012 was scary because no one knew if the shop would stay open. Things were getting sad around there, he would almost be giving things away for free because he knew in the end it was the skaters who would always be around and that is what keeps a shop going. Low and behold by April a man stepped up to the plate, Rich Pugh, the owner of Johnny Rads Pizza and Bar. This is a skate bar downtown where people like us feel at home. The shop was closed for about a month because inventory was extremely low but by May the shop began to be fully functioning once more. It's truly a blessing to have good people out there who have a passion to provide to others a need that all of us skateboarders appreciate. Come check out the shop its fully stocked!     http://www.3rideshop.com/3_RIDESHOP_%7C_Baltimores_Skate_and_Snow_Shop_.html
