Review on ๐Ÿ›น Ultimate Riding Experience: Powell Golden Dragon Complete Skateboard Tricycles, Scooters & Wagons by Andy Quade

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice looking board. The trucks are plastic, so I'm sending them back.

I was looking for a better skateboard for my kids than $15 skateboards from Academy or Walmart. Something not too expensive but decent for beginners. I have read many good reviews about the Powell Golden Dragon Flying Dragon Skateboard Kit. But those were older online reviews, including one about Revain. The photos in the ad also show black trucks with black wheels and an aluminum truck with white wheels, while the Q&A section (2017 responses) indicated that the trucks were metal. So I assumed I would get a skateboard with metal wheels. This skateboard arrived quickly and my first impression was that it was well built and overall good looking. and probably a good skateboard. However, the skateboard I received had black plastic carts. The product has arguably changed since the beginning of the 2016-2017 reviews here. I will return this skateboard. I have included two photos: the skateboard comes with an information pack stating the carriages are cast aluminum but ironically it is attached to a black plastic carriage as shown in my photo. The other photo shows aluminum. a truck with white wheels and a board with black carts and black wheels. This is fooling me that I'm going to get a skateboard with aluminum wheels.
