Having the right tool for the right job is vital to accomplishing the job at hand. It can mean the difference between success and failure. Same is true for purchasing a skateboard. You can't rage on a half pipe with a longboard and more than you can bomb big hills on a mini.
What about buying skateboards? Same deal. If you buy crap, you'll be riding crap (until it falls apart and sends you skidding across pavement). Discount box-stores like Wal-Mart, Target and sporting goods stores want your money, but in exchange, they'll only give you a cheap sub-standard skateboard.
Your local independent skate shop is the only reliable place to buy skateboarding equipment. Don't waste your time at toy stores and discount chains. A $25 complete board is crap and will never perform or last like a quality deck from your local 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.
