i forgot to add, skateboards are not expensive unless you're cheap. if you save $1 a day, you can get a new board every 50 days.
basically it costs you $1 a day to have fun skating, fall all over the place, laugh a lot and fuck around with your friends.
if $1 a day isn't worth it to you, just find something else to occupy your time but honestly, i can't think of anything cheaper that lets me have as much fun as i do.
There are legit ebay blanks out there, and there are shit ones. I've got friends who skate them and I see them break boards in a day, and the next board they set up from the same seller will last them 3 months. There is no quality control with those guys, even if they're got a good "rep" or whatever. It's not as bad as faster made it out to be, but still, buyer beware.
he was asking about boards so my response was based on boards. he made no mention of anything else but if he had, i woulld have told him to stack his lunch money, get a side hustle and/or get a job. thats how i(and i'm sure most of us)had to save for stuff growing up.
if people were into anything else be it, sports, music, photography, art, computers, etc, it would cost a hell of a lot more and everyone has money for that stuff. everyones got loot for the drug dealers, the bodegas, trendy mall stores, overpriced sneakers, and latest video games/system but no ones got money for skateboards.
so yeah, its not that skateboarding is expensive, its just that most people are cheap about the one thing they claim to love the most.
