When was the last time Wal-Mart held a skate contest?
How many skate demos has Target hosted?
How much advice did the local sporting goods store offer when your town built a skate park?
Sit down and think about it - really.
Did you answer, "None!"
I thought as much.
Discounters care about money and profit - nothing more. Once they have your money they want you to get the fuck out of their store and make room for other suckers. Your local skate shop conducts business in a different way. They carry high quality skate products and want you to be a repeat customer. In fact, they want you to make all your skate purchases at their store. they want you to come back often. Every time you do, you ensure you'll be getting good products, not the inferior crap sold by box-stores.
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.
