Too many people are afraid to "do what feels good". Isn't that why we skate - it makes us feel good in some way? Hell yeah!
It's a love of skateboarding!
Owning and operating an independent skate shop is the same thing - a love of skateboarding and giving back to skaters via a quality shop. Box-stores, discount stores, toy stores and sporting goods stores only sell skateboards to make money. They do this by selling cheap inferior equipment. No one at Wal-Mart is going to give you any advice about boards or parts. They only sell completes - crappy ones for $25, stenciled with Ninja Turtles.
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.
