Review on ๐Ÿ›น POSITIV Team Skateboards: Full Setup for Optimal Performance by Jaime Benenati

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very nice except when the wheel suddenly jams

I bought two of these, one for my son and one for me. I thought I'd join him :) One of the boards was fine. Overall, the design makes a very good impression. However, periodically "jam" one of the boards. That means one of the wheels gets stuck and the whole board just brakes sharply, so luckily I didn't get off the board at high speed. I removed the wheels and looked at the bearings. They look normal - no sand or anything. I added oil to see if that would help. No luck - still the same problem. This has been happening since I received the board, so I put it down to a manufacturing issue with the bearings (my best guess). Judging by other reviews it looks like I haven't had any luck with this board. But I wanted others to be aware of this potential problem. Update 05/25/13: I contacted Positiv about the problem and they sent me a replacement set of bearings free of charge.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Weight
