Why did Ryan shecklers parents get divorced?

Because Meg Ryan's mother, Susan Jordan, felt chasing after a career as an actress was more important than her husband and 4 children. She left them and moved away. Then later she started selling gossipstories about her famous daughter to the media. No doubt jealous that her daughter became the actress she wanted to be, while her own career never took off.

Needless to say, at least 3 of her 4 children - including Meg Ryan and her younger brother and sister- have cut her out of their lives.

How much does it cost to produce a skateboard?

There are certain websites where you can design your own boards and they cost about $50. but in all reality to make a board from scratch is alot less than that, Skateboards normally go for around $60 $70 dollars a piece, and the companies that make it need to make a profit off each board. The cost to produce a skateboard is about $20 $25 dollars maybe less.

Or...

I'll assume you're asking how much the companies spend to make the boards they sell. In many cases, the companies also own a woodshop -- that is, they own the company where the wood veneers are pressed and shaped into a skateboarding with concave. For a good American-made board, the actual cost of the wood plies and the process is somewhere int he neighborhood of $8 to $10. Then the wood shop sells it to the company. for $16 to $20. This is usually with the graphics. Then the company sells it to the distributor for around $30, or direct to a shop for around $35. Then the shop sells it to the customer for somewhere between $45 to $60. There are also good boards comping out of China, but the key is that the boards must be made out of rock-hard Canadian Maple. It is a hard, stiff wood and it is what is responsible for the pop and feel of a good skateboard. While these nuances do not matter to the novice, to anyone who skateboards regularly, the difference is very noticeable and after riding a good board, it's hard to ride a substandard board. The key thing if you want a good board is to buy from a reputable skateboarding company who is dedicated to skateboarding. These brands will sponsor skateboarders, they will be active in marketing their brand, and they will constantly be improving their products. There are a lot of good companies, but some of the best include Zero, Flip, Toy Machine, Foundation, Mystery, Slave, Real, AntiHero, Think, Blood Wizard, Lifeblood, ZooYork, Almost, Blind, Darkstar, Dogtown, 5Boro, Stereo, Birdhouse, Sk8Mafia, Element, Santa Cruz, World Industries, Powell, Pocket Pistols, Girl, Chocolate, and more. This is not a complete list, but off the top of my head. If you like a company, that's what matters if the board is for you.

Wheels cost a couple bucks each to actually make, and go through the same price markup at each step of the way. There are cheap wheels, and then there are good companies who actually do research and work to create better wheels. This is a scientific process and is not always easy, and the best companies work towards improving their products endlessly. There are many good wheels and wheel companies. Some of these companies have been making wheels for a long time and have perfected their wheels over time. Spitfire, Ricta, Bones, Pig, OJ, Autobahn are some of the better wheels brands but this is NOT a complete list.

Trucks cost about $6-$8 each to actually produce, then they are sold to shops for $8-$16 Although it's not absolutely true, for the most part, the better trucks cost more, and the end price to the consumer is anywhere between $20 to $40 each. Two are needed per board. Pretty much Independent, Thunder, Venture, Krux, Theeve, Royal, and Tensor are the better truck brands for street skating. There are many wacky brands for longboarding as well as a handful of standards...

Is bending pipe different than tube bending?

This depends on the thickness of the pipe in question. When bending tubing and pipe one wants to keep the inner diameter consistent through the bend. That's what tube bending kits are designed to do. Exhaust pipes ( wich are thin ) are bent in the same fashion as tubes, only the machines are larger. You can see this if you visit a local muffler shop. If the pipe is thick walled the pipe must be heated to bend it, and then annealed. This process utilizes heavy hydraulic driven machinery. Mandrel bending is a system wich uses two heavy wheels the pipe is fed through. Sand bending is a shade tree mechanics technique where the pipe is packed with dry sand and then heated and bent by hand.
