Review on ๐Ÿ›น ARCADE Standard Skateboards: Professional Tricycles, Scooters & Wagons for Skateboards & Caster Boards by Toby Galbraith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Suitable for beginners - new wheels and bearings required

Neat board for beginners. I'm 25 years old, 140 lbs, shoe size 12. I found the 7.75 board a little small for me and personally I would recommend starting with an 8 or 8.25 if you have large feet. This helps with stability and makes learning to ride easier. I also discovered as soon as I opened the box that the wheels and bearings on this board are complete junk. After a few rides, the concrete has started to eat away at the edges of the wheels and you can't go more than a few feet without a dent. I spent an extra $30 on some Shake Junt bearings and a set of Bones wheels and now she rides like a dream. If you are just starting to learn to skate, this is a good learning board. You can beat this board while saving up for a nicer board. If you're serious about skateboarding, you should definitely check out your local store and buy a better board with the best specs.

Pros
  • ๐Ÿ›น START RIDING LIKE A PRO! For the beginner skateboard that looks like everything BUT, we designed an arcade skateboard! This pre-built board is flexible enough to learn tricks and flips, and the precise carts, bearings, trucks and wheels give you the freedom to practice turns and carves without getting stuck!
Cons
  • boring package
