The shop them moved to a smaller location on 19th street, for a short time. Since 2006, Intuition has been located at the corner of 18th and R streets, near the Mill Creek, in downtown Bakersfield, California. Intuition is a brick and mortar rollerblading shop, that also deals roller/quad skates. Over the years, Intuition has put out several skate videos that were distributed worldwide.
