🛹 Ultimate Riding Experience: Powell Golden Dragon Complete Skateboard Tricycles, Scooters & Wagons Review

I can only comment on what my son told me as I don't skate. He loves to. It seems fast (he swiped several times), but he got used to it pretty quickly. Seems solid, no assembly (my favorite detail). Shipping was a bit slow but this is probably a COVID feature. He's super excited to get it and I'm so happy to see he's interested in learning something new.

Got this for my kid's first skateboard. Wanted to get something better than junk at the big stores but didn't want to break the bank. Pretty good for the price. The axles turn well - about as good as any well-known manufacturer like Indy. The bearings are fine, the deck is solid with good cotton. My only gripe is the wheels, which are loud, chalky, and slow on any surface other than perfectly smooth skate park pavement. I'll probably replace them, but even then it's still a decent price for a…

I got off this board, learned to be 99.5% wrong but never gave up. After a few years I replaced the soundboard because of the sharp ends and the popping stopped. Surprisingly, I still use the same bogies and wheel bearings. I have removed, cleaned and oiled the last one several times. With Ollie's countless failures on concrete curbs, I can't believe the trucks are still running. They're not the easiest, but very useful for students. No need to worry about them falling apart or cry when they…

My son liked it. As a former skater I have to say this skateboard is awesome! The carts fit perfectly and the wheels dangle like a goose, which is good! Just a few clicks and you're in flight. So far, so good! I know it says the boards are made here in the US, but it had a sticker that said "Made in China". ADDED 10/19/2018 This is a great board for beginners. Bought this board from Revain two years ago. Came with a DVD to watch from the Powell Skateboard Company. All in all we used the board…

Uhhhhmmmm. This is a skateboard, before I start, this is Powell's trademark skateboard, one of the ancestors of skateboards. I distinctly remember stealing my first Powell Peralta from my older brother, which brought me to my knees forever. So again, this is a skateboard, this is wood, good wood, hard wood, hard wood, colorful wood, nice wood. The wheels are of good basic quality, no pigs but no CCS either so not much to write about here. The average ex-camps again have nothing to write home…

Santa brought our son a skateboard so I'm doing a review on his behalf. We wanted to get a Powell skateboard because my husband is from Santa Barbara and we wanted to support this longstanding Santa Barbara company. This skateboard seems a bit cheaper as from what I've read online it's not made in the SB factory like the high end boards are. But overall this is a great first board for our 8 year old. He's there all the time, doing tricks (now I know what an ally is) and gliding around. I've…

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 bought 3 of these (1 for me and 2 for the kids) and am happy with my purchase. If you want a short version of my review, here it is: This is an amazing first board for both kids and adults. If you are looking for a good board at a great price, buy it. Now for a more detailed assessment. The wheels that this board comes with are rated at 99a (a "hardness" rating), which is on the stiffer/comfortable end of the spectrum. They measure 54mm in diameter, which is a great overall size and a good…
