Ok, just made a friend who was a skateboarder, so I wanted to have something that I could try to learn on. I couldn't believe the great deal on this board compared to other boards that were identical except the graphics on the bottom (it's WAY more now than what I paid...). Anyway, I couldn't be happier. It's a decent quality board and I'm having fun--and so are my kids! We'll never be skaters, but it's still fun to have a solid quality skateboard around just for kicks!
