They have all of the components needed for a mediocre at least beginner board. I personally think they should make harder bushings, which wouldn't cost barely any money to do. Make slightly higher trucks because beginner skaters tend to like higher trucks. And maybe make the concave a bit steeper so it isn't basically flat. And possibly use spray on griptape to make it higher quality for less production cost. In the end it would make it way more bearable to ride, and cost barely any more money. But that's just my opinion.
I bought my son an almost complete with tensor trucks and real wheels and bearings for under $60. It's a true dwindle deck and on a real skateboard level
I got my nephew one on skatewarehouse for the same price a lot more durable than the $40 board I got my niece from Walmart. I’ll never buy from anywhere else again
As a kid growing up with very little money, this board would have been a Godsend. I'm seeing lots of comments about getting a "real complete" for kids, but if your parents can't afford a $100-$120 complete that their kid may touch once and then never use again, this is a great way for kids to be able to get on a board and show that they are passionate about skateboarding. Then, if the kid sticks with it and shows that they want to get better and skate everyday, it gives parents the confidence to purchase a more expensive one down the line. Obviously the Walmart boards suck because they don't roll and the trucks bend when you ollie on them. But something like this that actually rolls and doesn't completely suck, would be great for families without a lot of money, just introducing their kids to skateboarding.
They should of made 3 types of complete and have them with 3 types of bushing stiffness. The kingpin wouldn't stick up as high if didnt have to tighten them that much, thats the issue most skaters have. You should always change bushings according to weight, then tighten to preference. If you have to tighten a bushing till it squashes and bolt is so low down the kingpin, its too soft. Its definitely a complete made for kids, but there is bigger kids out there still. So they should have completes labeled as by how much by a parents kid weight is with the different bushings. So many parents don't know these things, so you almost have to make it simple and their kids won't struggle as much. ALSO, I know this might get a bit of hate, but they should have completes with soft cruiser wheels. I've helped kids out before and id let them borrow some cruiser wheels to make it easier to ride around town. They find it more fun and helps them learn board control faster. If they are not having fun, they will walk instead of skate, need them kids glued feet glued to their skateboard lol.
I just started skating and I have a heart supply deck and krux trucks and bones super reds bearing and skate warehouse premium blank skateboard wheels and mob standard grip tape and modus hardware, and I'm in love with the deck but I plan on upgrading one day it doesn't have the best pop.
Call it like I see it. The boards are straight trash. To the youth.. Dont waste your money or your parents money. Go out and and earn money to buy a real setup. I'm sure you can mow lawns, or something. 25 bucks a lawn. 5 lawns. Thats $125 bucks right there. I think that's enough for a basic pro complete.
I skate Darkstar mostly, I love their Resin 7 decks. I could be wrong, but I think Darkstar sold their graphics that didn't sell very well to the big box stores. Then they put Darkstar graphics on cheap ass boards. I don't know if the actual wood was from Darkstar. Either way, I highly recommend the Darkstar Resin 7 decks.
why would you get multiple darkstar decks. if youve skated enough to make it worth buying multiple boards than it would make sense to invest in a real set up
@@durawya They are real boards, they just used to sell graphics to the big box stores. They're made by the same people as Blind, Almost, Enjoi, and Madness.
@@jeffreythompsonii9931 for a four year old I wouldn't go too expensive so a good brand to look at would be a cal7 complete because they are quite inexpensive and they ride really well and I feel that would be the perfect setup for a beginner but I don't know if they have the board that will be the right size for a 4 year old. But it wouldnt hurt to check out the website
These boards aren’t designed to be ready to do a smith grind when you buy them. You can’t give them a bad name based off a 10 year Skateboarding veteran’s ability.. because that isn’t who is going to be buying them. Come on guys.
@@davidreid2092 It is a bad skateboard to buy… for a person that already knows how to skate.. duh! Lol you’d be stupid to buy this. But for someone wanting to learn to skate, it’s perfect. Why spend $200+ at a Skateshop for a board when you don’t even know if you are going to want to learn how to skate? It would be stupid.
My thoughts are if a parent was looking for an affordable board for their kid that was a complete beginner it wouldn't be the worst buy especially if you dont know if your kid is gunna stick with it I personally bought my son ( hes 4) a blind mini complete but a lot of parents dont have the money to build or even buy a complete board if their kid was gunna give up on skating before to long
problem is cheap boards are much harder and more annoying to ride so giving one to your kid to start off with can give a false sense ofwhat skating is like. I had a cheap board when i was a kid and i hated it so stopped skating. Got back into it a year or so later with a real board and it was far more fun and even safer lol
@@ifeelit4448 I started out with a kmart board and feel in love with it after my mom realized I was gunna stick with it she took me to my local shop and let pick out all my shit so...
@@ifeelit4448 eh a lot of people quit before they ever learn to ollie or do any tricks. If a kid is dedicated enough to keep messing around with it, then I would step it up. I skated a Walmart setup back in like 91 on a stinger shaped board. I didn't care. I didn't know any better at 6 years old.
Not feeling the lounge Jazz music but what I am feeling is that reggae/ska intro song that y'all were using for a while, a while ago. You should bring it back!
Those heart supply boards is not the same the pro and team boards. Jus like the dark star boards. Any company that makes completes the board they use for the complete are ass the pro and team decks are normal that goes with all the company that has complete and single decks
the fact it took you guys that long to get used to skating it says everything you need to know seems not skateable even by "professionals" right out the plastic
@@davidreid2092 wrong actually ik quite a few people who have always skated 7.75 Aaron kyro skates 7.75 as well early 2000s when I started it was pretty standard street skating size 7.75 or 8 and 8.25 or bigger was mainly used for bowls and vert
@@xX12VincEXx you've completely misinterpreted what I've said I said it makes skating easier. Not that you can't buy them anywhere! And before you ask how more pop, because lighter board faster flip, just simple physics,= eaiser and better skating just from switching board sizes
I remember skating a mongoose board from Walmart than was $100 that board was maple too. I skate it when I was 7 too. So it was a good 20 years ago but I still remember that good board
