This package arrived by the said time and the board turned out to be a great product for a beginner. I bought this for my 7 year old and I am very happy, he loves it. I have skated with professionals growing up and I can honestly say this is one of the best boards under $100 out there right now. It is nice to have another choice between a walmart board and a pro board that a young kid cannot fully appreciate.

Bought for 12 yr old son, it replaced a very good skateboard he bought at the skate shop several years ago ... the deck was pretty much shredded. He loved that board. But this one is just as good, he has no complaints. Skater for about 5 years.

My son loves it. The wheels were not stiff and he was able to do his "tricks" immediately

My son wanted this skateboard from a store in town. It was over double the cost of this one. He was concerned that the wheels and the trucks(sp?) were not as good as the local store's model. When it arrived he was so excited to find that it was the exact same everything. He says it's a great skateboard for beginners and is much easier to learn on than the real cheap ones. We were really happy with this purchase.

Bought this skateboard for my 13yr old son..HE LOVED IT!! Worth every Penny. Much better quality than I thought it would be...cheap price excellent quality!! BUY THIS BOARD !!

My son saved up his money to buy this board from Amazon. He's been riding it since he took it out of the box. He says it's a great board, light weight, sturdy.... he has no problems doing all his tricks!

In purchasing a skateboard for my eight year old grandson's birthday, I reviewed customer comments on various models offered on Amazon. I found the reviews extremely helpful, and chose the "Flying Dragon" because of that. My grandson was delighted, and he loves it! It really is a perfect "first board" for him.

I am currently serving in Afghanistan and I ordered this board for my 13 year old son. He got it the other and absolutely loves it. He says it rides great.

The neighborhood kids are always zooming around the culdesac on their boards, and the other day I took my wife's Arbor longboard out and just cruised. My 4-year-old son wanted to ride on it with me, so I decided to start looking for a board for him. Yeah, 4 might be a little young, but he does really well on his Mini-Kick scooter and I'll wrap him in bubble wrap, so no worries. Based on the price and ratings, and on my son's preference for this color scheme over the white one (which I preferred, not that it matters), I purchased this Powell board. While it was in transit, we happened to be at Target so I looked at their available boards. There was a line of Tony Hawk beginner boards for about $30, and just when I started to question my decision, I tried spinning the wheels on the TH boards. They barely moved. (By design, I wonder?) When our board arrived (a day early!), I knew I'd made the right choice.

My son was excited about the board and couldn't wait to try it. Good thing his Mongoose BMX Bike Gel Knee and Elbow Pads arrived at the same time. He is easily frustrated so his turn on the board didn't last long, so I took it out for a test ride. This board is prettier, sturdier and better-constructed than any board I ever owned (my first board was an inch thick and had clay wheels, for what that's worth), and much less expensive. The deck is concave and completely covered with grip tape, the trucks are firm and the wheels spin freely. (It also comes with a bonus instructional DVD.) I'm 200 pounds and it handles me just fine, so I have no doubt that this will last my son for many years. Barring, of course, the kind of catastrophic accident that often befalls kids' toys. Today one of the neighborhood skater prodigies pronounced it "pretty good," so I am completely pleased with my purchase. If you're looking for a beginner board for any age range, you can't go wrong with this one.

the ups guy gave the me this giant box that ALREADY OPEN. luckily the skateboard was still in the box but it was weird. another thing. the add says it comes with powell swiss red bearings and it did not. please change the descirbtion so others won't be fooled.
