Hello everyone.
I just thought I'd give an update on the progress of the Sims Museum.
We've had a couple of huge setbacks on opening the Sims Museum, mostly due to the Coronavirus pandemic. As some of you might know, my partner "D. Z." passed away from COVID-19 a few months ago, he was the guy that started this whole project, and in his final weeks we discussed changing the course of what we originally intended to do. After watching the other "skateboard museums" suffer we decided to just go with focusing on making decks, wheels and clothing, and the museum would just be a secondary part of our retail store, not the main focus, there's no money to be made in just a museum alone. We were in negotiations with the Sims estate for licensing (unlike the people currently making unlicensed bootleg products) but with D. Z. 's passing all of that has stalled temporarily.

And to those of you that donated old boards and equipment for the museum please contact me so I can return them too you, DZ was in charge of that and some names got lost in the aftermath of his passing.
Originally we were looking for an upscale place for the museum, but since it will now be more of a traditional skate shop we're looking at a location that will not only work as a retail store, but also possibly as a manufacturing/warehouse/retail that can all be in place, not an easy task in the crazy California real estate market right now.

So keep checking this page for more updates. I might have some shirts and hats available soon, then decks down the line, and eventually wheels.

The official museum dedicated to the Sims Skateboard company.

Hello everyone. We are still planning on opening the Sins Skateboarding Museum but everything is on hold for now, there's no point in opening up the museum during the pandemic so it looks like we will probably open in 2022. If you loaned us boards to put on display don't worry, we still have everything packed away in the garage. We will probably start selling shirts and decks soon and maybe even some wheels, a guy is going to sell us some original Sims wheel molds and we're having them checked to see if they're still useable.

Hi everyone thanks for all the questions about the Sims Skateboarding Museum. Obviously be side of the current Coronavirus situation, we're temporarily putting things on hold for a few months to wait and see what happens. We're hoping to open on the location in S.B. that we've already been working on, but we're having some issues. We'll see how it goes.
In the meantime the wife and I have been on touch with some people that have offered to loan us Sims stuff to put on display and I even bought some cool old Sims stuff off eBay.
Even though we're under quarantine were going ahead with merch like shirts and hats and stuff, and YES we are looking into reproduction SIMS jerseys too!!!
Keep watching our page for more updates!!!

Although we haven't finalized the details on the museum location, we will be having =SIMS= SKATEBOARDING MUSEUM merchandise available soon to help fund the project, shirts, hats, stickers and maybe even replica decks, all made right here in Santa Barbara.
All proceeds from sales will go to the creation of the museum.
