In tough economic times you can't waste your money on bad products. It may seem like a good idea to save a little money by buying a cheaper skateboard. OK. Just don't buy one that is cheap as in "poor quality". Any box-store like Wal-Mart, Toys R us or Target will gladly sell you a skateboard for $25. What they won't do is pay your healthcare deductible when that crappy board splinters and sends you flying head-first onto the pavement.
You'd save a lot more money (and anguish) if you just dropped a $100 at your local independent skate shop and bought a quality complete that would hold up to real skateboarding.
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.
