I think just for the sake of buying a Maker USA skateboard, I might take up the sport for fun.

Maker USA skateboard is a unique company that crafts sustainable cruisers with FCS certified woods and veneers through local lumberyards. A community of graphic designers, tattooers, and street artists help design the art work which are some of the best I've ever seen on a skateboard. Combining art and style while remaining eco-friendly, these decks are a must-have for all skateboarders.
