Welcome to subVert skateboarding!
What is SUBVERT?
subVert was found by Volker Lux in 2004, after 20 years of mostly vert riding, feeling sick about what you could find in so called "Core shops": no wide decks, no bigger hard wheels, no wide trucks, no good kneepads; no oldschool stuff.
SUPPORT FOR VERT ADDICTS became the claim of SUBVERT.
SUBVERT started with a huge vert event, with Pros and Ams from all over the world.
In 2007 it happened, that Lux opened a skateshop on St. Pauli, after he had rent a former air raid shelter as storage for his webshop for vert- and poolriders. The location really made sense for an underground skateshop and it developped well. But in the end it consumed all Lux' time and also money. So now, 12 years later, Lux still runs a shop, but absolutely hidden and barely opened, so he can focus on his mission to support vert skateboarding.
Due to having too much work with his local skateshop too much, the webshop did not develop further. subVert has a lot of stuff still not online.
Generally you can order almost any stuff via subVert, only that it might take longer, as subVert can't have everything on stock. But our present hardware range is up to 10 bigger than the one of an average skateshop. And if we like the stuff you are looking for, we act kind of an agency, finding and importing the stuff from your wishlist.
What we got, what most other skateshops dont:
- uncut blanks
- variety of pro knee pads (we were 187killer pads's first distributor and we still import Pro Designed, when we can afford it!)
- big range of wide decks
- hybrid skateboards
- rails, lapper, nose&tailbones
- and a good and extensive consultation! As we love to communicate with Skateboarders from all over the world (Lux speaks Italian, Spanish, French, and of course German and English)
2019 we celebrate:
35 years of Skateboarding and 15 years of SUBVERT skateboarding!
For the people we love we give out

And where do we find the people we love? CONFUSION MAG is the answer, as it adresses to the core bowl, pool and D.I.Y. Skateboarders and not to fashion victims! So this page here is hidden to all others and you just find it via the link you saw in Confusion #22

Last words: PLEASE SUPPORT CONFUSION MAG! Jonathan Hay, the editor, is not doing it for the money at all, but it's our job to help him to survive with such great work. So please subscribe to it and/or buy some of the great shirts. You can buy these via subVert, but Confusion / Jonathan Hay will have more profit if you buy it there.
