Review on Scientoy Skateboard, Beginner Skateboards, 31" X 8" Complete Pro Skateboard With Repair Kit For Kids/Boys/Girls/Youth/Adults, 9 Layer Canadian Maple Double Kick Skateboard For Outdoors by Kevin Fuentes

Good board - Great after two small mods!

This is a nice beginner board. It came well packaged. My son loves the graphics on the bottom, and the grip tape on the top is very grippy.The bearings aren't top quality, but they spin freely once the wheel nuts are adjusted. I added a little oil to each bearing and they seem to be getting smoother and quieter as the wear in.The trucks are metal and seem to be decent quality, with urethane bushings. I had two small additions to make them work better: First, I had to add truck risers (spacers) so that the wheels didn't contact the board when making sharp turns. They are cheap and I recommend you add them to your cart when buying the board. Second, the washers above the urethane bushings are thin and deform if you try to tighten the trucks too much. I added a flat washer on top of each bushing washer and put the nut back on, and then I was able to tighten the trucks enough that they didn't turn too easily.Overall, it's a really nice board for the money, and with the two small modifications I made, the board skates really well! Definitely a good alternative to $100 boards.

Pros
  • The repair kit helps to extend the life of the skateboard and keep it in top condition
Cons
  • The wheels have a tendency to fly off during rides
