I love this board. I’m mostly just a cruiser, who occasionally Ollies, or does (attempts) a shuv it. But I’ve been around and have been obsessed with skate culture and am knowledgeable of skate products enough to know whether or not it’s decent. This is more than a beginner board. It’s very sturdy, has great pop, the bearings aren’t the best but certainly decent enough, the wheels are about that way as well. The trucks and hardware I’ve been relatively impressed with. My only one small critique is the paint they use for the graphics doesn’t hold up very well, after doing a couple Ollies, and just basic riding, I was missing a good bit of paint off my nose and tail, but it’s a skateboard if it isn’t scraped up, you’re not using it lol. I’m. Heftier guy weighing around 255 pounds and I’ve had no board flex or twists, it feels very sturdy when I hop on. The grip tape is excellent and very grippy. I love this company and will buy again, for 45-55 dollars for a complete you can’t beat it, even if you’re going to change out the trucks, bearings and or wheels it’s unbeatable. Highly recommend!

I got this skateboard as a Christmas gift for my 10 year old. She specifically wanted an all black board so she could personalize the bottom with her name and all sorts of stickers. This board “understood the assignment” perfectly. It came fully assembled and ready to roll, and that’s what my little girl did! It’s very sturdy though at some point we will replace the wheels just for aesthetics. I even got myself on it for a few strides and the feel is very steady with just enough give for easy maneuvering. It’s definitely not a board for advanced or sport skaters but it’s perfect for beginners and casual skaters. Very pleased with this purchase. Read more
This looks and feels just like an expensive name brand board from a company that’s huge in the skating industry. The fallbacks are small. The wheels were soft and the grip tape wasn’t perfect. The wheels spun but one needed adjustment (but still better than others I’ve tried). The graphic seems backward. This board has a longer side that one can only assume is the tail. But the graphic doesn’t seem to match. Not a big deal for a beginner. The board isn’t a true popsicle stick as mentioned last it has a longer kick tail and shorter nose. The Chinese maple seems softer than the American maple so it dents easier. The pluses are good though. It came complete and can be skated right out of the box. It had risers so for the beginner skater I’m gifting it too I put 58mm wheels that are much harder and will be easier to turn with. The trucks have a nicer polish than other cheap brands and that makes for a really nice looking board Read more
This skateboard 🛹 is worth every penny the bearings run fine but they are greased up perfect for a kid who would probably get this board very dirty wheels are too hard and I would recommend switching them for softer ones like 92a's board seems pretty sturdy trucks creak annoying but they turn fine grip tape is fine all around much better then a Walmart board never get a Walmart board, also this board has some decent designs.

I bought this complete only because I liked the graphic. I was EXTREMELY surprised when I rode it for the first time. This deck is WAY better than any other inexpensive deck I've come across. And the trucks actually turn, unlike most others. The wheels aren't bad. The bearings on the other hand, they weren't the best out of the box. I pulled them out, took off one shield and cleaned out all of the grease. Every review of cheaper skateboard bearings I've seen say that they don't spin. The problem is that most bearings are made for industrial use. And they pack them full of grease. If you clean them out, then lubricate them with some light oil, they spin well. Some cheaper bearings have a metal race. The better ones have a plastic race. Or you could buy some Bones Reds to swap out, that'll be easier. But for what I paid for this complete, I was REALLY happy. I'd say for a beginner or anyone who just wants to ride, this is a great board. I'll probably buy more Cal-7s in the future. Read more
My dad bought his for me and I love it it’s smooth great quality and amazing for beginners so happy I chose this it has helped me improve my skating so much!One thing to know this isn’t meant for bumpy-ish streets it works just isn’t very fast,which doesn’t change anything as it not meant to be for streets but if you’re looking for a street board and you’re streets aren’t the smoothest you should go find another one other than that love it😋 Read more
This board was built by skaters for skaters. Constructed using 7-ply Canadian maple, it rivals all standard and pro boards. However the trucks that it comes with are not quality. Kind of like the cheap batteries that come with a toy when you buy it, they should be replaced with better ones as soon as you are able. That being said, the wheels and bearings are just fine. It's light, sturdy, has good pop, good grip tape. What more can I say, buy it. Read more
