I bought 3 of these (1 for myself and 2 for my kids) and I'm happy with my purchase. If you want the short version of my review, here it is: this is an awesome first board for kids and adults alike. If you are looking for a good board on the cheap, buy it. And now on to the more detailed review... ## Wheels / Bearings The basic tradeoff on wheels is: softer wheels give you increased ease/smoothness of ride and harder wheels are better for doing tricks and they roll faster. The wheels this board ships with are 99a Durometer (the "hardness" rating) which are on the harder/trick-friendly side of the spectrum. They are 54mm in diameter which is a great all-around size and a good starting point for somebody who doesn't know what they want yet. The bearings are actually pretty good and the wheels roll smoothly. ## Trucks The Trucks came set up pretty much how I like them (though it's subjective and you might want to fine-tune them). They seem to be OK quality. Maybe a tiny bit flimsy but we'll see how they hold up. They are pretty impressive for the price of the board (you can buy trucks that alone cost about as much as this complete board). ## Deck The deck is pretty standard. Seems to have a good amount of stiffness/pop. The griptape isn't bad (which I only mention because the griptape on so-called Walmart boards is a disgrace). The design looks pretty good. ## Summary For the price, it seems like the value here is hard to beat. I wanted to get my kids and I something we could learn on but didn't want to break the bank. This board is perfect for that. All 3 of us have been skating every day and the boys are practicing tricks already. Read more

Decided to get into skateboarding after watching the lords of dog town, thrashin and bones brigade. Awesome movies by the way, check them out. Definitely a nice looking board for the money and to start out with. I plan on upgrading after some practice time! Read more
