Limitations are daunting. Skateboarding is about freedom, creativity and choice. Trying to buy a skateboard from a discount store, sporting goods store or mall store can seem like prison. These stores offer limited choices, inferior quality and little product knowledge.
Break free! Escape to your local skate shop where you'll be surrounded by vast arrays of decks, trucks, wheels and almost every accessory you could want. Employees at skate shops are almost always skaters themselves and can help recommend products and offer advice. Try to get any useful skateboard advice at a discount box-store - won't happen. They just want your money.
Your local skateboard shop wants your business and will treat you right with the hope that you will return when you need to buy more skate product. Whether it's DVDs, pads or decks - they'll be there to hook you up.
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.
