My son wanted to learn how to skateboard so I thought this board would be good for beginners. It's very durable and the wheels look solid and sturdy. The design is bright and very colorful. He just turned 8 and I thought this skateboard would be awesome. Now he drives every day and his condition is improving. It was worth what I paid just to see the smile on his face. great board I am very happy with it. I would buy again.
