The price is great for your first dancer. It is definitely not at the quality level of Loaded, Longboard Larry, or other niche name brand boards but would be just fine if you are unsure about spending $300 on a board that you might trash or not like in 3 months.The wood is ok, it's very stiff for me at 160 lbs. I found the wheels and bearings good but the trucks were damaged (along with some severe wood damage) via shipping. If I'd have kept it, I would have grabbed some Paris or Randals for 30-See full review
