My 6yo loves it
Got this board for my 6yo daughter to skate with me. Overall build quality seems pretty good. By the way, the wheels are 51mm (that detail wasn’t on any of the documentation). (Btw I’m talking about that 28” long kids skateboard, I know sometimes Amazon gets reviews mixed up) Pros for kids -grip tape isn’t overly abrasive -you can upgrade every part as your child gets better, rather than spending a ton on a “real” board right off the bat -the bearings are pretty meh, but actually makes the board more approachable since it doesn’t go too fast -came with a skate tool! That was unexpected. Con -51mm wheels are on the smaller side, I’m not an expert but my adult board had 52mm wheels and I was always a little nervous about hitting rocks. Moved mine up to 55mm. So not sure how well these wheels will suit kids on rougher spots. We’ve only ridden it in my garage so far (very smooth concrete). I CAN confirm it’s about the same thickness as an adult 7ply maple deck. The board is on the heavier side, weighs about as much as my adult board. So that being said, I don’t see my little girl doing Ollie’s on this one. The king pin on the trucks also goes past the axle, so don’t expect any easy grinds on this board… but let’s be real, you’re just like me. You want a board for your kid to try out skating. This is the one. (Although I secretly hope she loves this and begs me for a real board in 6-12 months haha). Read more
