Is it American? Is it Chinese? Does it matter? Read this letter (link and provided by our friend John with Skater’s Alliance and SPS). The letter goes on to talk about the inferiority of Chinese wood, as well as the effect that Chinese wood has on the American economy. It’s a somewhat lengthy read, but well worth it.

After you read the letter, check out the rest of John Bracken’s site… lots of news and opinions from a real skateboard activist.
