We launched the Next Generation Online Skateboard Shop! The website has a Flash-driven navigation menu and uses JQuery to display popup images. Each page's content and all shop items can be added, and edited using a custom-made Content Management System.  The online shop has a shopping cart and uses Paypal for a secure checkout.

"I started skateboarding in 1996, I grew up skating around the Boston area.  When I was 18 I joined the Air Force and moved away to Nebraska where I was stationed for 4 years.  While I was out in Nebraska I got sponsored by my friend Jason's shop Next Generation.  Through the shop I picked up a few more sponsors including eS footwear, and Null Skateboards.  In 2005 I got discharged from the Military and decided to open up a shop.  It's something I've always wanted to do since I started skating. 

My first shop was located in Fremont, NE a small town located outside of Omaha.  It was a cool setup.  I had a shop on the main level and I had a small skatepark in the basement level.  We would have concerts there frequently as well.  After staying in Fremont for 3 years I decided to move back east.  I felt like there were a lot more oppurtunities back in Boston for me.  In March 2008 I opened up a Next Generation in my hometown of Waltham, MA.  We've been open a year and a half already and things are going great. I want to thank everyone that has supported the shop since I've started it.  Everyone helps a small business grow." -Pat Hickey
