Skateboarding is one of those modern day sports that have now jumped almost two generations!

Okay, so you don't see very many silver heads packing the skate parks or annoying pedestrians by weaving in and out of traffic. But there are plenty of grandparents and parents who recognize the terms Quicksilver and half-pipe!

The one thing you will notice, however, is that the prices enjoyed by skaters 30 and 40 years ago truly are a thing of the past! And you thought stuff was expensive in the seventies!

Maybe you remember the day when you just bought a new board if yours was damaged. Not anymore. That's exactly why the time has come for an overall guide to setting up your board and repairing it.

How to Set Up & Repair a Complete Skateboard does exactly what it says and saves the skateboard owner (or his or her parents) money.

1. Number One and most obvious is saving hundreds of dollars in setup and repair fees.
   

2. Eliminate down time by making speedy, on site repairs.
   

3. Fixing a problem immediately saves wear and tear on the equipment.
