As soon as you consider buying a skateboard at a chain-store (box-store), a discount store or toy store - YOU BECOME A TARGET.
A $25 skateboard is not a bargain it's a rip-off. If you think you can get a quality board at Target or Wal-Mart, good luck. They just want your money and hope that while you're buying tube socks and an oil filter, you may want to buy some other shit - like a skateboard. Don't do it.
Your local skate shop knows skateboarding, knows the industry and can hook you up with the best products for your budget. No one in a discount store will be able to help you. The only help available at a box-store is someone telling you to go to a real skate shop!
Uninformed skaters/consumers need your help. You can lend a hand and help support local skate shops by downloading these SYLSS "Crappy Skateboard" WARNING LABELS (4-up PDF files) and stick 'em on those crappy products you encounter in the mall, discount stores, toy stores and sporting goods stores.
Only independent skateboard shops sell quality products that won't break or fall apart in the first 10 minutes of use. Boards purchased from crappy department stores and gluttonous box-stores are unsafe and will usually result in unnecessary injuries.
Your local skate shop is the only place that cares about you and ensuring you get high quality equipment. Department stores, toy stores and sporting goods stores only want your money. Independent skate shops want to keep you as a customer by helping you get the best products available.
