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 Masud Taylor

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ours was definitely made on a Monday

Full disclosure. we purchased one that had been previously purchased. The deck was still wrapped in plastic and should have known to take caution since the plastic was under the trucks. The trucks were dusty and dangerously loose. This isn't an issue as you should go over the board before riding. Tightening the bushing nut solved this, but created new problems like board drifting sideways rather than straight when pushed on a flat surface. not curving to one side or the other. actually drifting. Strange. The wheels also didn't turn very freely despite adjusting the nuts on the trucks a couple different ways. The hardware is not a standard size and the bolts were in at an angle. We have had much better luck with another manufacturer of beginner boards that starts with an M. The deck is 9 ply, which is not a standard either. Could be durable, but we never got that far. Ours wasn't fit to ride.

Pros
  • Provides a sense of freedom and independence that other activities can't match
Cons
  • The board takes longer to slow down than is safe
