When you see cheap-ass skateboards in stores like Wal-Mart, Kmart or some sporting goods store do you wonder who's buying this crap? How can a complete board be the same price as a set of wheels and not suck completely? Not everyone knows that independent skate shops are the ONLY place you should buy skateboard equipment.
Help the uneducated shoppers and downloading these SYLSS "Crappy Skateboard" WARNING LABELS (4-up PDF files) and stick 'em on those crappy products you find.
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.
Wise up and buy from your local skate shop. They are the only ones who care about you and ensuring you get high quality equipment. Department stores only want your money. Independent skate shops want to keep you as a customer by helping you get the best available products.
