I always recommend that guys visit their local skatepark or skate shop when looking for a new skateboard. It's always good to support the little guys but it is also a good idea to get your hands on the board, go for a ride, and get a feel for it before making a purchase. You will receive expert advice and guidance from experienced and passionate skateboarders, something which you do not get when ordering online. It also allows you guys to meet and hang out with like-minded folk, talk about all things skateboarding, and forge lasting relationships.
