Haha yeah i went there like a month ago and all they have is like Globe skateboards.....
They're about 30% cheaper but if you want it, get it. Otherwise skating is not big in Bali at all. You'll see why when you get over there....

I just got back from Bali a couple of weeks ago. Too hot and humid for my skating tastes, I prefer freezing Melbourne. Not to mention that the roads, footpaths etc are dodgy as.

Yeah they have that Globe shop in Kuta but if you're a serious skater you would be wise to save your bucks for something better.

Ubud has some mad roads. The famous road there called Monkey Forest Rd. actually looks like a decent freeride spot, however it's a main rd. The country roads look gnar...but I wouldn't risk your life with their drivers, just wait til you get back to Aus. to skate I reckon.
