Not what it seems. :(
What a dumpster fire of a deck! Not even 3 days of a light skate, and I snapped my tail off with a pop shuvit! ...and after looking the board over, I noticed there was glue missing in a few sections, and one of the layers of wood looked beat and moldy! What a shame :( I would really appreciate a better deck, or my money back.

Low quality not worth the money
So i want to first qualify my self and my experience as well as skill going into this review. Ive been skating on and off for 20 years, used to skate with sponsored amateur borders. Ive learned and mastered many tricks, done large staircases, big jumps, rails, ledges and vert ramps. Ive been through many boards over the years and have tried many brands. Im 6 foot and 190lbs. So with that preface out of the way let me give my review. I had not really boarded for about a year, my current deck was hashed pretty bad so i started looking for decks on amazon. This deck came up pretty fast, had great reviews and was a top seller and the. And price wasnt bad at all. So i got it, threw some grindking trucks and spitfire wheels on and went skating. Now i wasnt looking to start doing large gaps and stairs again but just focus on my street skills so thats what i did, ollies off small ledges, pop shov its, kick flips, stalls and some ledge grinding. I had about maybe 4 hours of board time on it as of last saturday. i took it out with my nieces and nephews to the slate park and on a ride. About a hour in, i was doing some pop shoveits and kick flips when all the sudden i landed and the tail broke right off! Ive never had this happen doing flat ground tricks and i was very suprised. The quality of the wood is so poor it couldnt handle 5 hours of boarding before failure. My advice for anyone looking at this for a board is save your money go to zumiez or a vans store or any local skate shop buy a blank board from powell, atm, dark, mini logo or any of the blank board companies for 30 bucks youll thank me

Good light maple wood board
The deck itself is very light yet very sturdy. All my decks are maple wood and none had given up on me.Double tail is good for beginners so you don't need to worry about which is front or back.Putting on the grip tape on the surface was a little hassle not because of the material the the width of it. You need to apply very straight or it keeps going off center. Tip after few try is start from one of the side, not the end. To the seller: need to make the width of the grip tape maybe a inch or half on both side to fix this small issue.

Good entry-level board
It’s been ages since I was on a skateboard, but my son has taken to skateboarding recently and so I figured I better dust off some old skills. As I recall, part of the fun was also assembling your own board and having a unique look. Getting to pick your wheels, trucks, and decals is a big part of it.This board is a good start, the double tail is a must for beginners, and at my son’s age (8), it feels like a long-board to him anyway, so we can probably put some cruiser/longboard wheels on it as well.Plywood is almost unbreakable anyway, so having the 7 layers on this board makes it feel very strong. I’ve given it a few tests myself so I don’t anticipate any issues for a child. It’s a cool board for him to learn and experiment on and not break the bank. I would have given it a 5 star rating except that ours came with scuff marks on the underside of the board. They’re not superficial and the shipping box was not damaged in any way, so it didn’t happen during transit. It just looks like careless handling along the manufacturing process.

It's a $20 skate deck ...
First off, I was pretty excited to get a skate deck made in Russia. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised to see a "Made in China" sticker on the package, but I was disappointed. The deck is very light weight, like the wood isn't very dense. Hopefully that isn't an indication of it's long term durability. It has a nice shape, but the clear coat is very thin on the underside and almost nonexistent on the top side. The top looks almost like completely raw wood. I will probably give it a sanding and hit it with a couple coats of urethane or lacquer before I put grip on it. As long as it doesn't snap in half while riding it, I guess it's a good deal at $20. Next time I'll probably spend a little more ($35?) and get something that's a bit higher quality. I plan on using this board to ride with my son and will update this review with a long term assessment of the deck later on. SK8 or DIE!

Not worth it unless you’re using it for cruising
The board snapped after 12 days of use. Kinda disappointed because I thought it would last a lot longer. Just buy a quality deck from like ccs, revive or fortune just to name a few. Yea it’s a bit more but the quality you get with those boards is worth the $. I would only recommend this deck if you only plan on cruising with the board. If you try doing ollies or any flip tricks the board will break for sure. Not a quality 7 ply maple deck.

Nicely made, good quality = happy recipients
The boards arrived on time and were better than expected. Nicely made. We were very pleased. These boards were purchased for a few less fortunate people and were built with all of there necessary accessories needed to give away and make them "skateboardable". They turned out very nice. I believe the recipients are going to be very happy with their gift. :-)
