In prehistoric times I'm sure it was necessary to club someone over the head in order to make a point, but is that necessary in today's advanced society? Apparently, yes it is. People are still buying low quality skateboards at discount box-stores like Target, Wal-Mart and Kmart. Some even venture into sporting goods stores believing that skateboarding is a "sport" and that sporting goods store employees know something about skateboarding. They don't!
Next time you need tube-socks, by all means visit one of these abysmal box-stores, but when it comes to quality skateboards and equipment make sure you visit your local skateboard shop to make sure you don't get burned with a cheap knock-off. Evolve from the days of grunting cavemen and become savvy about the marketplace in which you spend your hard-earned money. If you buy a skateboard form a discount box-store, then you deserve to be clubbed over the head.
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.
