Bought two of these boards for our boys birthday. Based on the reviews we thought it would be good for beginner boards to learn from. Do yourself a favor and save money, go to your local skateboard shop and spend your money on a GOOD board. The first board we sent back did NOT roll smoothly even after many adjustments. Our son was so disappointed on his birthday because he only wanted a skateboard and ended up getting this junk from China. We sent it back for a full refund. My other son abandoned his but after a week of riding he practically collapsed too. It no longer rolls straight after many adjustments.
