32inch Maple Skateboard|Trick Skateboard for Beginners, Intermediate and Pros

I know next to nothing about skateboards, but after doing some research I decided to order this one for a secret santa child I adopted. It came quickly and looked super cool! I was tempted to jump on it myself.

(Note: I also own a $170 custom board from tactics so im not just some parent who gifted their kid this and knows nothing about skateboarding.)Pros:Perfect budget option for beginners (I started out on this)Sturdy trucksBearings that actually turn pretty wellSolid wheelsPrebuilt (so you dont have to worry about putting it together)CheapCons:The grip tape isn't the grippiest (could be a pro)The actual board part isnt very durable (I chipped a decent chunk out of the back part of the board but it's still rideable. I just wouldnt grind on this)Slight paint defect on the bottom graphicConclusion:Definitely buy if you want to get into skating, but not if you know a ton of tricks because that might break the board and injure you.

This is my first review in awhile so bare with me.I got the itch to skate again after 6 and half years of being out of it. Being an adult now, dropping $100+ for a skateboard didn't make to much financial sense to me anymore. So I went on Amazon and found the best budget board I could find to really see if I would stick with it. Ive had this board for about 3 weeks, practice maybe 3 hours a week. That being said, I'll jump into the details.I really can't say anything negative about the board itself. Has a mild concave, very good pop from the start, no major defects I could tell. Trucks do come out of the box very loose, a quick adjustment to my desire and had no problems since, actually very surprised by the quality. The bearings are fantastic, they rolled just fine from the start, after breaking them in, it's goes like a dream. One push and you can get a good coast. Wheels are wheels, I'd say they're standard sized.Things that could be improved, the grip tape gets shredded. Pretty much from the first attempt of an ollie it started to peel. The picture is the most recent on took today, you can tell its are. After only 3 weeks of play? Kind of annoying. Then the detail was a little messed up, not a huge deal considering it's meant to get destroyed.Overall, your getting hell of a board for the price. I'm going to keep this one around till it dies. Hardware alone is worth the price in my opinion. A few minor improvements and Minority Skateboards would be a go to choice in any skaters book. Better than any Walmart deck your probably thinking about getting. Give them a shot, you won't be disappointed!

It came in a box but the front of the box was smashed, thankfully no damage to the board, it comes with the trucks pretty loose wich isn't bad but i think it's a great board, did notice a few air bubbles under the grip tape but they come out easily overall it's a good board and its fun to ride

Just a great board for a beginner beating away at it

My son is too happy!!.He enjoy his skateboard.

I bought this board because my friend and I have gotten into skateboarding. I've never really skated much before, so I figured I'd buy a board that wasn't super expensive.The board looks really nice, has metal trucks, decent bearings, and the graphic is sweet too. After a couple of weeks of getting comfortable on the board, I started messing around with some simple tricks, just trying to ollie and shove-it.After a single night of practicing shove-its, the grip tape started to pull up at the edge of the board a decent amount. And after practicing (and failing) some ollies, the lamination of the wood that makes up the board actually started to separate. I knew at that point that I should invest in a better board.Also, the wheels say they are either 100a-101a (which is the hardness of the wheel), but they are definitely softer. Probably more like 80a-85a. I tried powersliding multiple times, and the board simply wouldn't rotate. The wheels were too "sticky".Since then, I've purchased a much better quality, brand-name board (Blind) and it holds up significantly better. The wheels on my new board are listed as 99a I believe (Spitfire wheels) and they slide much better than the wheels from the Minority board.OVERALL:It's a good starter board if you're mostly just riding around and not doing tricks, just trying to get comfortable. If you are seriously trying to get into skateboarding and attempting tricks, I would recommend checking out an actual skateboard website, like Skate Wearhouse. Or better yet, hit up your local skate shop and get a board there. Talking to someone in-person who knows about boards will be a significant help.

I bought this for my son and he loves it. The trucks are a little tight and the paint job seemed to be a little chipped when we got it and has gotten worse. But it is sturdy and offers him a good wide platform for his first board. The wheels are OK for the price and I expect he'll have this one for a while.I read that the weight limit was in the 225 range. I wouldn't trust that as it is perfect for my 65 pound son, but feels like it could buckle under me.I'd say it's a 4.5 STAR board
