Great Starter Board at a Great Price
This was a gift for my 7 year old daughter that had never really expressed an interest in Skateboarding but loves doing things outside and since we'd already purchased all the usual toys, (Scooters, Bikes, Roller Skates, etc.) this was the next logical progression and came via the Easter Bunny this morning.First the positives.The Board looks and feels like a quality board worth much more than its asking price. The Wheels are much faster than I anticipated with quality bearings, trucks, and bushings across the board which allows an inexperienced rider to really move quickly if desired. The color on the artwork pops and has held up well thus far to day one of abuse. The contrast between the pink and baby blue looks fantastic and is sure to catch the eyes of passerby's.Next the Negatives.Honestly, I found there to be only one problem with this board but I'm not entirely convinced it isn't correctable with some simple adjustments. The Bushings on this board out the box are very, VERY soft. Simply standing on the board becomes a difficult task because the board mushes toward one side or another regardless of the weight applied. This makes balancing more difficult than it needs to be for a beginner board though does allow for some very responsive turning for folks that already are familiar with a skateboard. Using a simple wrench I did make adjustments to tighten things up and provide more stability however then the board had a tendency to pull significantly to one side which was actually worse than the initial problem and so things were loosened back up again to allow for straighter travel as my daughter was at this initial stage of use was interested in sitting on it and riding it like a sled down a sidewalk hill. Doing so allowed her to steer by simply shifting her weight from side to side and she had a lot of fun using it in this fashion. I plan to spend further time adjusting the bushing nut to see if I can obtain more stability without throwing off the alignment this week, however Bushings are replaceable as well and so worst case scenario I simply get something that provides a stiffer ride experience.Final Thoughts:There was a point in time when I was younger where a board of this quality would have cost 3x as much, easily. For the current asking price the bushing issue is easy to overlook and may be correctable easily enough with further exploration and adjustments. Personally, since this is likely going to be many kids' first Skateboard, I'd prefer to see a much stiffer bearing used from the start to allow for a stiffer ride and in turn more stability while standing on the board, however I acknowledge that this may well be a personal preference and so I can't really fault the board itself or it's quality for using the softer bushing and so I didn't deduct any stars in the end. This board looks and functions great and has enough adjustment capabilities to make it suit any number of peoples desires and so it's an easy product to recommend. Honestly., I'm wanting to go get myself a board as well as a result of this purchase so it gets the thumbs up, seal of approval from myself and my daughter.
