About Us


Asphalt Beach Skate Shop owner Steve Larios began working as a skate instructor for Nashville's seminal skate shop Vertical Inline in 1993. After Vertical left the scene in 1997, Steve taught and managed the skate shop for Cumberland Cycles and established Asphalt Beach Skate School. In 2001, Steve took over the shop at Cumberland Cycles and renamed it Asphalt Beach Skate Shop.
Steve is a competitive inline speed-skater and has won numerous national championships. He represented Team USA at World Masters Championships around the world.
At Asphalt Beach, we carry a wide variety of quad roller skates, inline skates, protective gear, and longboards. Come on in to get fitted by our skilled staff, all of whom are excellent skaters in a wide variety of disciplines.
We are now open for walk-ins, although we recommend appointments for custom fittings and plate mountings.
