Rule #1
Don’t buy a cheap skateboard. Although it might sound tempting to save a few dollars, these boards are poorly made and will not perform well or last a long time. You are better off buying a good quality new or used board and reselling it on OfferUp or gifting it to someone else if you decide to part with it later.
Rule #2
Try to buy from a local skateboard shop. Local shops support the community and give people a place to go.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED:
If you don’t live near a shop, websites like PAWNSHOP SKATE CO. or CCS.COM can help you find what you need.
