The Big 5 is right next to my haunting grounds, Staples. My son loves going in there a potentially harm himself with equipment and balls and all that other nonsense that is neccessary to play sports. He recently got into the habit of skating. Not just any kind of skating, but the kind involving stunts and railings. I, in fear of losing a child's limbs, bought every bit of safety gear the ungrateful kid never wore. The result? A load of knee and shoulder pads that cost more than they should and a kid crying about a skinned knee and how ugly his helmet is. The people in here are nice enough to direct me around here though and willing to look in the back for items that seem not be stocked on the outside. Overall, I'd go to this place if there was a huge sale. And by huge, I mean BIG discounts.
