As we previously reported, President Donald Trump slapped global tariffs on a bunch of imported goods, with the idea of bringing manufacturing back to the U.S. and encouraging people to “buy American.”

But instead of things getting cheaper or more local, it ended up setting off a trade war and sent prices climbing all over the place.

Skateboarding didn’t get a free pass either.

Deck prices shot up - some hitting $90 and even griptape isn’t safe anymore, now going for around $15.

Most skateboards are still made overseas in places like China, Mexico, and Canada, so the added costs hit hard.

But one brand that didn’t flinch? The Boonies.

The Boonies CEO, journalist and pro skater Tim Pool made it clear that he’s not about to jack up prices on the skaters who support the brand.

Even with the extra costs, his signature pro model is sticking to its $55 price tag.

And that goes for Richie Jackson’s board too.

If you know the skate wizard, you know his style is gnarly and one-of-a-kind. The guy's been flipping the script in skateboarding for years with his absurd magic on the board.

And now his Boonies deck is also available at just $55. A solid win for anyone who wants something cool to skate without draining their wallet.

At a time when it feels like everything costs more, it’s honestly refreshing to see a brand that just wants to keep things real for the skate community.

No flashy gimmicks. No sudden price jumps. Just solid boards for a fair price.

So yeah, while other companies are quietly upping their prices, Boonies is keeping it chill. And for a lot of skaters out there, that’s more than enough reason to back them.
