'Tony Hawk 31'' Skateboard - Signature Series Skateboard with Pro Trucks, Full Grip Tape, 9-Ply Maple Deck, Ideal for All Experience Levels'

It’s a good skateboard

Every since I bought it board my child hasn't stop riding it after school in the basement since there's snow on the ground outside. No complaints, great size for adults and youth, durable and a smooth ride.

Product arrived as described, this will be fantastic for my grandson as he is a beginner.

Nephew loves it.

I bought this skateboard as a starter board for my 10-year-old son, and overall it’s okay for what it is—but there are some definite compromises. Design & first impressions: The graphic looks great in person and definitely caught my son’s attention right away. The deck itself feels solid enough for a beginner, and the grip tape is surprisingly grippy, which is important for learning basic balance and control. Out of the box, it looks like a “real” skateboard, not a toy. Where it falls short: The biggest downside—and the reason for the 3-star rating—is the plastic trucks. This was not clearly mentioned in the product description at the time of purchase, which was disappointing. Plastic trucks are a pretty big limitation, especially if your kid starts to progress beyond just cruising. They’ll be fine for very light use, but they’re not something I’d trust for long-term durability or any real tricks. The wheels and bearings are also very entry-level. They roll, but that’s about it. They’ll work for learning to push and cruise around, but they won’t hold up as skills improve. Who this is for: For a younger child or absolute beginner who just wants to learn how to ride around, this board will do the job. My son is able to cruise on it just fine, and it’s serving its purpose for now. Future upgrades: If he sticks with skateboarding, I’ll definitely be upgrading the trucks, wheels, and bearings pretty quickly. The deck itself seems usable, but the hardware is the weak link. Final thoughts: This is a decent buy for the price, as long as expectations are realistic. It’s fine as a starter board, but the plastic trucks—especially without clear disclosure—are a letdown.
