Review on πŸ›Ή Ultimate Riding Experience: Powell Golden Dragon Complete Skateboard Tricycles, Scooters & Wagons by Paul Tilden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great entry level board

I bought 3 of these (1 for me and 2 for the kids) and am happy with my purchase. If you want a short version of my review, here it is: This is an amazing first board for both kids and adults. If you are looking for a good board at a great price, buy it. Now for a more detailed assessment. The wheels that this board comes with are rated at 99a (a "hardness" rating), which is on the stiffer/comfortable end of the spectrum. They measure 54mm in diameter, which is a great overall size and a good starting point for those who don't already know what they want. The bearings are actually pretty good and the wheels spin smoothly. Appears to be normal quality. Maybe a bit thin but we'll see how they hold up. They're pretty impressive for the price of a board (you can buy trucks for about the same as this full board alone). ## Deck Deck is pretty standard. It seems to have good stiffness/pop. The scotch isn't bad (which I only mention because the scotch is a disgrace on the so-called Walmart boards). The design looks pretty good. ## Summary For the price, value seems hard to beat here. I wanted to give my kids and I something to study, but I didn't want to rob a bank. This board is perfect for that. All three of us ride every day and the boys are already practicing tricks.
