Cheap Skateboards Online – How to get a Good Cheap Skateboard

October 29, 2008

Skateboarding has become an extremely popular sport – yes I said sport.  ESPN has immortalized skaters and other extreme sports athletes with the X-Games and many people are getting into the sport because of this.  One thing many beginners are looking for is a somewhere to get cheap skateboards.  The apparent obvious choice is to go to Walmart and get a $49 special, but I would encourage you to think twice before blowing fifty bucks on cheap skateboards at Walmart because it will be exactly that – a CHEAP SKATEBOARD and you don’t want that!

There are a lot of other places to look for not only cheap skateboards, but high quality yet cheap skateboards.  For roughly twice the price of a fifty dollar blue light special, you can get a good board that will last you much longer than the Walmart skateboard and be a lot better to use.  There are a couple places on the internet that have been in business for quite a while and offer great deals so you can get high quality, yet still cheap skateboards.  If all else fails you can also give it a try on eBay or at Amazon, but I recommend trying to stay with a place that specializes in affordable or cheap skateboards and accessories.

The House Boardshop is one of the best places on the internet to find great deals and get cheap skateboards and other extreme sports accessories. You can save over 50 percent off the manufacturer’s price on complete skateboard packages. There are also great deals snowboards, skis, shoes, and other apparel. You will save so much money on your new cheap skateboard that you will be able to pick up a couple accessories.

Be Wild is another website that has cheap skateboards and a bunch of other things that aren’t necessarily related to skateboards. You can find shirts, sunglasses, body jewelry and other things.

Now that you have a plan on where to shop for high quality, cheap skateboards, you may be asking so how do I learn all the tricks.  If you are interested in learning, check out the Secrets of Skateboarding program and learn how to skate like the pros.

You may be asking, what can I do with my new found skills and skateboarding gear? Here a few ideas for you. It is great exercise. It may not seem like riding on a board with wheels burns many calories, go outside and try it for a few minutes and you will soon be covered in sweat. It is also entertainment both for yourself and others. Get a video camera and start recording. You will have You Tube ready videos in no time. If you really have a passion for skateboarding, you can turn it into a career. Some of the top pros today are making millions from endorsements and starting their own businesses around skateboarding. This sport is still new in the eyes of the world, but it will continue to grow and someday may be as big as the NFL or NBA. Dream big and your first, high quality yet cheap skateboard could lead to financial riches! Good luck!

In 1991 some of the best pros wanted to start something new that nobody has seen before! They called it Plan B Skateboards! Mike Tenasky was the leader of Plan B. He got some of the best pros at the time including Danny Way, Matt Hensley, Mike Carroll, Sean Scheffey, and Rick Howard.


Plan B Skateboards took over the skating world with their awesome videos, their amazing boards, and other products! They also added Pat Duffy, Colin Mckay, Sal Barbier, Ronn
ie Bertino, and Jeremy Wray through out the early 90′s.


In 1994 tragedy struck Plan B skateboards, when Mike Tenasky was killed in a tragic car accident. Plan B Skateboards was then left in the hands of
