If u like havin to fix/change parts b4 ever using
I Purchased this online after returning the one I had bought at our local Walmart for my 14-year-old daughter. The first one, (Kryptonics also) seemed a lot nicer than this one, it was double the price, but much more of a smooth ride. Possibly user error, since we don't know much about the mechanics/adjustments, but it became un-rideable b/c I couldn't get rid of the built in turn. Myself and my daughters have some experience over the years but since COVID have ridden (our longboard) more regularly. None of us could ride this board from the start…a friend suggested buying better bearings but you shouldn't have to do that for it to be rideable…I did, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to send this back and get another like the first. Only positive, it was a cool/pretty design underneath

    Great Skateboard for beginners!
    This was a fun skateboard and the price was low. I'm a beginner, so I didn't want to start off with an expensive one and ruin it. The wheels are a bit loud when rolling on rough road, but it's pretty smooth on sidewalks.

    Super high quality for the super low price!
    Super high quality! Just received my order today and I LOVE IT! It rides smooth, is easy to adjust, and is over all just really nice quality for the price! The print is high quality if not put on properly in some spots but that's it! Other than that, 10/10!! I added some reference photos for size! I'm a US 6 in Women's so I used some shoes for comparison! Great first board or just a new board to add to a collection! The black and red colors are super chic and have classic skater feel. The wheels are super easy to ride on and aren't bouncy. The board comes shipped assembled and all you have to do is remove the plastic covering! You may need to adjust the tilt especially if you're a little lighter weight! I'm about 105 pounds and could barely get a lean so I had to loosen it but that's expected with any board. The grip tape is much better quality than I was expecting. It has a high grip and is stuck in very well! Sorry for the long review but I wanted to help anyone who is looking for a cheaper high quality board because they can easily be over priced! Thanks for reading and happy skating.

    Great price for kids wanting to try skateboarding.
    This skateboard is prefect for my 6 and 8 year old boys, who all of a sudden decided that they want to learn how to skateboard thanks to watching YouTube at a sleepover. I bought it for $12 which is a great price for something that will eventually/most likely spend the rest of its life sitting in the corner of the garage. We gave it to the boys as Christmas present, and surprise, surprise after weeks of them asking for one, they weren't a bit excited about it. It's winter here in Minnesota so it will be sitting in the garage until spring and then after a few trys with it, it will probably go untouched for the rest of its days.

    Worth the $15
    I purchased this skateboard for my 9 yo daughter. As a former skater, I was somewhat apprehensive due to the poor reviews. When it arrived, I was impressed. The deck was decent. The wheels and bearings will be fine, and the rolled with no problems. The trucks are plastic, but should be fine for a lightweight. I wouldn't get on it, but it will work for my girl just fine.

    Inexpensive
    Sometimes prices change, so I have to say that I paid $14.99 for these. From what I can tell the wheels and bearings are garbage, and the trucks are plastic! My kids haven't even ridden them for 15 minutes yet, so we'll see. But they are small 8yrs and 10yrs girls, so I don't expect these to break. So why 5 stars? $15, that's why. The deck looks solid for a kid's board and the you couldn't buy the grip tape for $5. The deck and tape alone are worth $30 without the crappy trucks, wheels, and bearings that barely roll. But the kids don't know good bearings from bad and they seem happy so far.

    You get what you pay for.
    Trucks are plastic, not sure how long this will last. Graphics are a loose sticker.

    PERFECT BEGINNER BOARD!!
    We purchased this skateboard for our 4.5 yr old who wanted a (real) skateboard. He has had smaller ones in the past, but really wanted a big one. This is such a great beginner board. The graphics on the bottom are pretty awesome, the quality has been great for the 6 months of use he has already put into it, and the price is what really sold us. Our little guy absolutely loves his skateboard!! He is already learning tricks and has mastered skating all the way down our slanted driveway. He also takes it everywhere he goes (including his bedroom), haha!!

    Unfortunately my sons skateboard broke in half after about a month of use. It was also a little difficult for the wheels to move but I think that was better given he is just starting out skateboarding. Love the design and the size but just wish it was a little more durable
