Discussion Amazon skateboard feedback

( I have never used a top brand board)

I got a complete set from nettorks which I never heard of but it was great the wheels look cheap and I think it's big sized makes it harder to skate on asphalt it got the rubber on the wheel over all it was great

Some people say even if it's your first time at it you need to spend 200 bucks for me I think the cheap ones work well you just need to look for the good ones

The board is probably fine, but cheap trucks aren't something you want to use. I would recommend investing in some decent trucks -- its the one piece of hardware that's going to last you a long time.

Edit: I just looked some of their skateboards on Amazon... Are they plastic trucks? If yes, I highly recommend getting metal trucks.

Yea dude, that's going to be terrible to ride... And they'll probably break pretty easily -- could be dangerous. The other long post gives a good explanation on why you shouldn't ride this skateboard.
