5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product
My son skates a lot and goes through boards like crazy. He has had them all every brand of board there is and he told me this Positiv board is the best he has ever had and wants to skate nothing, but Positiv. As a parent I am pleased with the product and the message that this company sends out to young kids. My son intends to skate professionally, and would love to...

3.0 out of 5 stars First skateboard
I bought this as the first skateboard for my 9 year old. I know nothing about skateboards and neither does my son, except that he wanted one. He is very happy with it and is learning to ride on it. The board is a little more curved than I would like to have seen, and one wheel does not touch the ground when not in use. I'm hoping that with more use, it may flatten out...

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-made and light enough, April 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this for my son's 8th birthday. Having been a skater in a previous life, I knew a bit about what I was looking for. It needed to be light enough for his size, have a decent concave, and the bearings needed to be smooth. I was confident about all but the last of these before ordering since I went to the all the all-in-one manufacturers' sites to compare stats. The bearings are fine, thankfully. So far, my son has been happy with the board. It is probably a little heavy for him yet, but he's not far off. Anyway, he's got a few more lessons in balance to learn before he starts doing any tricks. Overall, it's a good skateboard. These all-in-one decks are nothing like the pieces of junk they sold as all-in-one when I was a kid. I do wish they came with rails, but the object of the game is to have the most beaten up looking board, I guess!

I wouldn't recommend this for kids under 8. It is probably a little big. Of course, that would depend on how dexterous your kid is too. For the average kid, 8~9 +, I'd say.

My 11 year old daughter wanted a board she could learn on. TO say that this is an excellent board would be an understatement. She was thrilled, we are thilled at only about $30 bucks more than a target or walmart board, this board beyond out performs... A++++ recommend to anyone new or even someone that knows about boards, they won't be disappointed!! Super fast shipping too A+++

5.0 out of 5 stars Great First Board, August 6, 2009
I just purchased this for my 7 yr old son. He had never been on a skateboard and was easily able to start right away working on balance and turns. Very good quality which equals safety! Just right for a beginner who wants to try skating to see how they like it. The best part is we ordered it with two day shipping and it arrived in one day!

5.0 out of 5 stars I am 12 yrs old and love this board!, August 24, 2010
A Kid's Review
POSITIV Team Complete Skateboards

I am 12 years old and I got a Positiv skateboard. I originally wanted a World Industries (WI) instead but my dad thought the Positiv appeared to have better quality and information available via the other customer reviews. When my dad bought the Positiv I wasn't really happy because I wanted a WI. However, when the Positiv arrived and I opened the box I didn't want to go back to any other skateboard. I love this board......it is perfect since I am a beginner I usually just skate down the driveway and recommend the same board for anyone who is also new. The packaging wasn't that good and the box it came in was pretty damaged when it arrived but the board was fine. I would REALLY recommend this board. It has gotten me to go outside more often and away from the Wii and Xbox. Now all I want to do is skateboard.

Chris "Cardinal" (Northern Virginia) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I ordered this skateboard on a random impulse, as I wanted to begin skating. I am 18 years old and the only skateboard I had owned before this one was a cheap $20 board that I bought just for looks.

First of all, the board came really, really fast. I mean less than 48 hours fast, and I hopped on it as soon as I could. I didn't have any clue about skateboards so I went by the reviews that said it was good, and they were right.

The board seemed a little large at first but now I love it. I'm extremely happy about this purchase and wouldn't change a thing. I skateboard around my college campus and wherever I need to go, and the board holds up. The trucks are sturdy, the wheels are spectacular, and I prefer this board over any "professional" board such as PlanB. I didn't even have to loosen any of the wheels, they all spin like a dream.

Go buy this product now. I promise you won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Positiv skateboard, October 29, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Good strong board...fast delivery....terrible packaging...check it as it may be damaged...no biggie since mine was just cosmetic scratches.
Basically just a really good board, I skated it and my son does and we both agree pretty good deal and overall board for skate park and side walks...could use better bearings but thats an easy and cheap fix...nice pop.

His friends also tried it and they have all different better known brands and very similar feel...much lower price..they skate all day...

Recomend buy...good deal.

I am glad I got this for my 6 year old son. He loves it, his instructor loves it. This is a real skate board with real good wheels, not one of those cheap ones in large stores.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Beginner Board & Cheap, March 13, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I did a lot of research into getting a beginner board. A lot of people point to getting one already put together instead of buying different parts to assemble yourself because it's cost effective and it lets you get a taste of boarding before shelling out your wallet. After attempting to get a cost estimate of a custom board (which went well over $100), I decided an already made one would be better.

After much research I chose this board for the following reasons:

1. The board length matched my height. I was a little afraid it would be a bit longer than I wanted, but when I tried it, it was a good length. (I'm 5 ft 5 in, btw). My friend who is 5 ft 1 in can also use my board, although it's a bit long for her. Unfortunately, you won't find pre-made boards shorter than this. I looked high and low.

2. The wheels match what I want to do - small hard wheels for riding street.

3. The design is phenomenal. One of the nicest boards out there unless you want skulls or cartoons on it.

After riding this board a few times, I am very happy with it. It is truly a quality skateboard.
