We are totally new to skateboarding but since my oldest’s boyfriend has been hanging around with his board my kids have become interested. I was lucky to get this one from #bluescratte and we love it. This one is a 28 inch cruiser board meaning it has wider wheels so you can get more speed. This is well made with aluminum supports, carbon fiber screws for flexibility, and nice tread on top. My kids like the skull and flames on the bottom too. We have been out toying with it but the boyfriend thought it was a good buy (his board costs over $300 I am told) so I think his opinion is a good one. It appears to be put together well and I swear we eventually are going to get further than one house length without falling off at some point.
