5 out of 5 stars Looks great, fun to put together!   January 15, 2008

I know others have claimed these decks break easily, and that may be true. But if you have a 7 or 8 year-old who isn't jumping yet but is just learning, this is a great buy. Our son is just learning balance and steering, and so far these have really held up well for him. They look nice, and he had some "extra" fun helping his Dad put the trucks and wheels on. So, if you want to jump and do tricks, listen to the others who've had bad luck. If you just have a kid who wants to learn how to ride and put a board together, it's great!


5 out of 5 stars Great set for the price.   August 6, 2007

The decks are nice, the bearings need grease, the decals provided leave a little to be desired. They're great for starter to nivice skaters. The first thing to break is usually the deck, with this you get two.

I bought this for my brother for Christmas and he LOVES it! He is an avid skateboarder and absolutely loves building things and putting things together. He's proud of his skateboard because he built it, which helps him keep it clean and take care of it.

This is an amazing toy for anyone who enjoys skating or building things!
