I bought this for my son's 6th birthday. He had never been on a skateboard and was easily able to start right away working on balance and turns.

　　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.

　　This skateboard provides a high quality at an entry level price, the perfect first skateboard for beginners and a smart choice for price conscious advanced skaters because of the performance. The bushings are high rebound polyurethane and make turning easy and smooth to experience the joy that comes from being able to roll, turn, drop in, and do tricks. Overall, it's a good skateboard. Recommended age: 5 - 10 years.
