I’m 31 and just started learning to skate for the first time after grabbing a board like this at Walmart. I really struggled to get any distance while practicing basic pushing. It just doesn’t want to roll! Now I know it’s not just a me problem:)
Thank you for doing this video 🙏🏼 I bought one being an ignorant consumer thinking “oh if it’s Tony Hawk it has to be good” at least to start. After watching a bunch of videos on here and trying to start I just concluded that I sucked at skateboarding and got a longboard instead 🛹 Now I feel better and will go get a board and try again! (Haven’t skateboarded since I was like 7 lol) Thank you!
i just started skating, i am practicing on this tony hawk board, and it works pretty well for me, and it does move pretty fast, i think you may have gotten a messed up one.
Picked up this same board as my first skateboard and ordered new bearings and wheels a day later. I havent noticed any cracks yet but im already having buyers remorse :/
Hey Kody! Thanks for reminding folks to clean up their world around them. I am sure with a cheap set of ABEC 7's or so that board would have been much better, it is as you said a 15-dollar board. One of my longboards has the Sunset LED wheels. They sure look neat at night, but each wheel is a mini generator to power up the LED's, and the drag is very noticeable. Thank you for posting your down to Earth clips. As always the sounds are fun!
My daughter wants to learn to skate after cruising on a penny. I legit just bought the $15 one with the plastic trucks just for a cheap board. I’m putting my old tensor trucks with the abec 5 and old spitfire wheels. It’ll be good for a learner. But besides how crappy all the parts are, I was let down even more by the fact that the hawk outsourced it to China 😢 what a let down
Nah fam, tony hawk is a real nice dude. He gives out free skateboards and hides the boards signed by him and people go out treasure hunting. And always willing to help with tricks. But, I do agree the materials that China uses are horrible.
Found one in the trash. Changed out the bushings, bearings and wheels with quality ones that have been replaced with better in my own boards. Its a fact all thats gotta go by the time you upgrade it to make it ridable youve spent 50 dollars or more. After that it turned out decent. Took it to a park to try it out. Dropped in on a 5ft half and a 3 ft quarter and most of the obstacles there and all is still good so far. I had to replace everything that matters on this thing to make it righteous only the deck and the aluminum parts of the trucks remain. I used old parts to upgrade so this one didn't cost me anything. After seeing the quality in the hardware I'd never pay for one of these. Your better of getting a 40 or 50 dollar board for a beginner.
I've always wanted to skate since I was 14 but my parents wouldn't let me, im now 17 and finally got my first board ( Walmart brand) it's really hard to ride it, maybe I just suck. But it always stops so i have to push really hard and a lot of times before I actually get on it.
I had one of those... I bought wheels with bones Red's and was more decent but it didn't turn properly, eventually i bought trucks and it changed the whole board, but the wood was still cranking, eventually i bought a real birdhouse tony hawk board, later i found out... Those boards have a weight limit of like 120 lbs, it's in the label's, and the bearings suck because it's for beginner's to not kill them self, so ironically it is for beginner's...
So I tried to get into skateboarding recently and thought that I was just terrible and doing something wrong because I could not for the love of god even get across a parking lot without kicking 20+ times. I’m so glad I found this video and discovered it’s the board. I bought a Tony hawk signature series thinking it was going to be a good starter board. Because, you know, Tony Hawk.
I just got a Tony Hawk Signature Series board as my first board today. It barely moved, just like yours, but once I loosened the wheels it worked just fine.
@@isaacwrzesinski1369 your view might help someone just starting too. You never know. A little effort n editing goes a long ways on TH-cam. Hope you have fun skating 👍
I mean this is decent for small kids to learn. The slow bearings help them get comfortable and later get a real board. I started on a Walmart board and I’m sure a lot of other people did too
I can see that point. Walmart does have decent skateboards like the Darkstar & Vision skateboards. Just $10 more. Its no shame in having one. Gotta start somewhere.
There is another board for $10 more that is 1000x better right next to it. Has nothing to do with poor people. It has to do with this product sucks & you shouldnt waste your money. Especially if youre so poor you cant afford $10 for an awesome board.
Lol I just bought this board for my son’s 6th bday. But for $26 he can sit on his butt and ride down the local park downhill sidewalk. (Which is what he likes to do) and he won’t get going too fast 🤣 not a bad buy for my situation.
my trucks werent as bad, they were bad but i jus decided to buy some good wheels. and it actually rolled alot smoother and faster. i dont know if that was the only problem but yea..
Link to your other review please? That would be a good addition to the description. I’m looking to get a skateboard for my 14 year old. This was a nice video to come across. Thanks!
So I bought one of those $15 dollar ones and I put some parts from another board I had laying around (bushings, bearings, wheels) and I use it for practicing new tricks so I don’t beat up my other board when learning new stuff.
I have that board. I modified it with new wheels and bearings. The trucks are perfectly fine as they are high quality metal. I even added the spacers. It’s a fine board after modifying it. It rides just fine and can get around the skatepark just fine.
There’s no washers under the axle nut and also the bearings are abec 3, I put some abec 9 bearings on added the washers and now its lots better, my boys love these
My in-laws bought this board for my kid. Put some super reds bearings (didn't help). Was going to swap out trucks with my 20 year old independents. Hole pattern does not match up 😤. I remember my second board was Tony Hawk bones brigade chicken head. That was when you had to build it at the skate shop. I am pretty disappointed even for a beginner board. Up the price by 40 bucks and let the kids have fun.
I was planning to get a new board this year, since my last one was the equivalent of walmart boards, only worse. I was initially gonna go with Globe's goodstock skateboard because of Tensor trucks and a slick deck, but my family members decided to surprise me with a Tony Hawk 540 signature series on my birthday. I couldn't really bring myself to tell them that TH skateboards were notorious for their low quality because they only meant good by it. Besides, I found out that the shop wouldn't offer a refund, so I am kinda stuck with it now. I am considering getting new bearings at least. Talk about fate... Do you think it's gonna be fine for cruising around if I just change the bearings? I want to change the wheels too, but I am not sure whether trucks play a decisive factor here.
unfortunately your daughter would be very disappointed in that board, its so bad of a board that it’s dangerous. It stops you from rolling which promotes frequent falling and the board is like a toothpick which means its too easy to snap
wheels are rubber, trucks are plastic, board is thin and light and the bearings are unexplainably garbage. This goes for every board sold at walmart. save for a better one👍🏽
Well I also have this Tony Hawk skateboard, I bought a new Bones wheels and I'm planning to buy a new bearings. Do you think It'll help the board a bit? I mean the wheels were really crappy but I think the deck isn't that bad (sorry for my English)
Well new wheels & bearings are gonna cost twice as much as the board. Wheels $30 bearings $20. I recommend taking the board back n getting a more expensive one. I only rode the board for this video.
Ah damn i didnt know these were bad lol. if i change the wheels and bearings is it gonna be close enough to a good board or should i just get a new board entirely?
I bought one of these last week... I feel your pain on the 60 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽 : No way Tony Hawk have should put his name on this garbage. I even used WD40 on the wheels. Lol : Swapped out the wheels to get some use out of it.
I bought one of these and thought that I sucked at skateboarding then the trucks literally fell off after 3 days and I bought a new one which was really stupid. Overall it’s fine for learning moves but it won’t get you anywhere.
We have a ten year old who has outgrown and learned how to use his penny board. We just bought one of these for a Christmas gift for him. What would you all honesty recommend? Don't want to give him a crappy board he will just up in less than a day.
Best option after comparing getting Amazon boards vs Amazon board videos is it really is best to just going on Amazon I've seen people cracking and breaking them to but at least they do work better then a Walmart board you can get a complete board by element for a good price surprisingly not that high at all considering it's by element but it's also one of the older designs the one that says wind water fire and earth and you can get ot for 66
Bought a tony hawk signature board for $14. stepson will use it for a few days and he'll be bored with it. It'll go directly into the trash after that. Perfect price point
Maybe this is a bad scateboard but everyone has different opinions for example you are a more like a pro scater so we know you won't like it and it's not the best board but it works for beginners so they learn their balance and have fun.
That is true. maybe someone wants a skateboard that doesn't roll. From my personal opinion it's a waste of money when a board that is 1000 times better for only $10 more is hanging right next to it.
@@KodyWalker i don't recommended either, i got it as my first board, realized it sucked, so i went to a skate shop and told me what was wrong... The whole thing lol , so i ended up buying a birdhouse with real trucks and all, then after adding months of practicing, decided to put Indy's on that Walmart board, i was able to skate it but it's not the same, it's good for rainy days though for that i do recommended lol
I bought the signature series skateboard awhile back and I just thought I sucked so I stopped trying picked it back up after awhile and tried still the same issue glad to know it wasn’t me :) anyways would it be worthwhile to just change the wheels and bearings or should I just buy a complete new board
A new set of wheels and bearings is gonna cost more than this whole board. If your Walmart carries the Darkstar skateboards or Braille get one of those.
@@KodyWalker I’m actually from the uk and ordered the board online I’ve looked for dark star but I only see just decks and wheels. the wheels and bearings I found online are cheaper than a complete from braille by quite a bit is it still worth it to buy a complete board? Edit: my trucks are metal as it isn’t the exact model you have if that makes any significance because I actually got this board before this video.
The trucks are my board are metal. But braille makes a Walmart deck now that's only like 30-50$ American. Idk. If you're from the UK shipping costs could be crazy.
@@KodyWalker yea the shipping costs are quite a bit a lot of the completes I’ve been looking online here in the uk are around the same quality as this tony hawk one so I think im gonna get these wheels and bearings and just upgrade my board for other things if need be. Thanks for the help!
I wanna get into skating but I have no idea what I should even get. I have a Tony hawk signature board and I am very frustrated with how bad it rolls. Goes super slow. 😞 I’m super frustrated because I don’t understand what to get.
Same! I just got it and didn’t even get the chance to go to a skatepark. I think I may need to get some new wheels and bearings but other than that I THINK I might be good
Me iba a comprar una de estas pero ahora me esta entrando la duda, en la tienda que vi estaban estas y las tony hawk y las polemic, polemic seria una buena marca para empezar? O al menos es mejor que estas?
Bruh i knew it was my bearings. 😒 i had to order bearings because my tony hawk board is not rolling. I was so sad. Because i really wanted a skateboard, not for it to be low quality. So hopefully the bearings i ordered will help my board a bit. And thank you for this video ✨💖
Well i hope the bearings help you out. I kinda felt like the wheels were trouble too. If nothing else you can have fun practicing tricks not moving much.
so i bought the tony hawk board like a few months ago and with the wheels it had,,,it honestly sucked since i was always behind my friend who was SOOOO ahead of me and i would get so tired and then one of my friends put new wheels on it and it went way more faster but it super wiggly and today i got my new board just the board itself and im using the wheels my friend gave me since they are really good and i didn’t take all the plastic off and im having trouble take the screws off from the bottom and i think it’s from the plastic 🤦🏾♀️
Anything would be an upgrade for this board. It’s Chinese maple (pro boards are Canadian maple which are more durable). These are also the lowest quality bearings and wheels you’ll find. The trucks are metal at least
@@KodyWalker i just purchased thsi Tony Hawk signature skateboard from eBay for £22. i wanted to start skateboarding up as a hobby because i watched all these youtube vidz and it looks like good fun. But i was never going to do any tricks on it because that seems too dangerous for me to try. But i only just wnated to go cruising on it only.
Tony Hawk, you’re the skateboard legend.I will forever be destined to skate by God himself. If it’s a biscuit or not there’s no wrong reason to grab a biscuit and go skate.But what gets you into skate is not what is going to keep you into skate…So sit back enjoy the biscuit and have fun.Playing for the sake of playing…A.K.A.skating for the sake of skating..I left the plastic on and it took me 36 attempts on my video check the playlist 💯🙂🙂🙂
@@KodyWalker I see kids break name brand board day one of skating them darkstar a good walmart board compete 40 bucks u can reuse truck replace bearings 17 buck reds if the boards break so what u replace them on a regular
The problem is parents buy this for their kids and it sucks. Yes the darkstar walmart board is much better. I made a video on it already. This video is so parents or young kids do not waste their money.
Tony the board is 9 ply so if u need a board replacement that not a bad price maybe the reason he sells them with plastic trucks cause he now you got trucks
I wouldn’t. There’s nothing on this board you’d wanna keep except maybe the trucks if you’re starting out. But you can buy “Core” trucks for the same price as this board. They’re decent entry level pro style trucks. Maybe try piecing together the rest with someones old wheels/bearings and deck. They’d still be better than this junk
wanna go to the skatepark tmw but im scared because i have a tony hawk board (my mom didnt go pick up my new expensive skatebaord yet) but i dont want people to make fun
All you gotta do is just be respectful and try not to sit or stand in the way. Skateparks work on taking turns on obstacles. So just watch around you and you should be fine. Maybe take a friend too.
4:32 this is where the proper testing of the skate begins, you re welcome
We have the same name😳
You dropped this 👑
More like 4:09
I want to see Tony Hawk ride one of these boards
He would die if he tried dropping in on his Half Pipe with one of these boards

The way this gentleman goes through the review the way he does kept me locked on and having a great time. Very good content!
i just started skating, i am practicing on this tony hawk board, and it works pretty well for me, and it does move pretty fast, i think you may have gotten a messed up one.
Im glad yours works well for you.
Wouldn’t it work if you just loosen the wheels a little?
it’s not messed up it’s just cheap and the bearings aren’t good.it still moves it’s just not as fast as better bearings like reds or anything
thank you
I got this board for my 6 year old he likes it so far. Day 1 of skateboarding
Picked up this same board as my first skateboard and ordered new bearings and wheels a day later. I havent noticed any cracks yet but im already having buyers remorse :/
I break pro style decks on flat ground too. I hope your wheels n bearings make it roll good at the very least.
I bought the red and blue trucks one the one she was holding and yeah thing doesn't roll at all i thought it was the barring were tight but now i know
They come with abec - 1 bearings so like the worst in existence I swapped them for my old abec 5's and it already roles better
@@Yaboi_Phantomthey come with abec 5 now

Well new wheels n bearings cost more than this whole board. Plus I'm over 200lbs so it was not great for me. Glad yours works for you.
Link to your other review please? That would be a good addition to the description.
I’m looking to get a skateboard for my 14 year old. This was a nice video to come across. Thanks!
That is a good idea. The Walmart darkstar is a good board and Braille Skateboarding now has a Walmart board that seems to be even better.
So I bought one of those $15 dollar ones and I put some parts from another board I had laying around (bushings, bearings, wheels) and I use it for practicing new tricks so I don’t beat up my other board when learning new stuff.
You should make a video of that. Showing how you got it to roll and how you can actually skate it.
@@KodyWalker definitely
Buying this board was like face planting the concrete when you trip
Thats the truth.
@@KodyWalker literally went to cruise on it and about ate the sidewalk bc of the terrible bearings
I have that board. I modified it with new wheels and bearings. The trucks are perfectly fine as they are high quality metal. I even added the spacers. It’s a fine board after modifying it. It rides just fine and can get around the skatepark just fine.
Right on man. Glad you had extra parts to make it actually work
Great review, i almost bought one. Thanks!
You can always spend $10 more and get the walmart darkstar. Its decent.
I have this board it's not the greatest, but it's all I can afford for now.
Hopefully you still are having fun with it
@@KodyWalker Thanks, so far it's been pretty good.
i just got the $15 one yesterday
i should've done some research first
but it's fine
At least you had fun
There’s no washers under the axle nut and also the bearings are abec 3, I put some abec 9 bearings on added the washers and now its lots better, my boys love these
Why not just buy the boards that are a step up instead of all that extra money
My in-laws bought this board for my kid. Put some super reds bearings (didn't help). Was going to swap out trucks with my 20 year old independents. Hole pattern does not match up 😤. I remember my second board was Tony Hawk bones brigade chicken head. That was when you had to build it at the skate shop. I am pretty disappointed even for a beginner board.

The Darkstar board at walmart is only $10 more and 1000% better. Its crazy people buy any skateboard under $40.

great vid btw
Hahaha 😂 that's too funny and thank you.
bro i thought i was just a fat ass mf out of breath with this board and ish, turns out THE BOARD BARELY MOVES LMFAO
* to be clear, my dumb ass bought the $15 one
This one rolls just the same as the $15 one haha. I was outta breath trying to ride this too

Wheels and bearings will be your biggest problem with a cheap board. The trucks as long as they are not plastic will hold up alright.
@@KodyWalker Thankfully, the trucks are metal. I guess I better look into a decent set of wheels then. Thanks, man.
Walmart is clearing them right now for $5 here in MI. Picked up two for $10 for the kids.
I guess for $5 that's not the worst thing you can buy
@@KodyWalker just loosen the wheels
@@JayBladee bearings don't get better because the wheel is looser lol. Plus I'm 210lbs not a small child.
Because its a beginners kids board!! Ive just got the same for my daughter Xmas present!!
It literally doesn’t roll anywhere without extreme force. Should have got the darkstar deck. It actually rolls n only $10 more.
unfortunately your daughter would be very disappointed in that board, its so bad of a board that it’s dangerous. It stops you from rolling which promotes frequent falling and the board is like a toothpick which means its too easy to snap
Some Wal-Mart board's are actually good.
Kinda but not really. This one is a true waste of money.
wheels are rubber, trucks are plastic, board is thin and light and the bearings are unexplainably garbage. This goes for every board sold at walmart. save for a better one👍🏽
@@KodyWalker can you just add some faster speed bearings

I bought this skateboard today for $15 it’s not that bad it’s just that the trucks are made of plastic and the wheels and trucks are tight

@@KodyWalker oh
Might just f around and put cruiser wheels on it
I was thinking of doing the same thing haha. Let me know how it works.

Yes they do. I have a set of bones bearings that cost double this board haha.
Ah damn i didnt know these were bad lol. if i change the wheels and bearings is it gonna be close enough to a good board or should i just get a new board entirely?

Definitely arent gonna be riding this across town haha. But you can still do a few tricks if your tight on your budget.
We have a ten year old who has outgrown and learned how to use his penny board. We just bought one of these for a Christmas gift for him. What would you all honesty recommend? Don't want to give him a crappy board he will just up in less than a day.
Take that tony hawk board back and get the Darkstar skateboard that is $10 more. It is leaps and bounds better for a Walmart board.
Best option after comparing getting Amazon boards vs Amazon board videos is it really is best to just going on Amazon I've seen people cracking and breaking them to but at least they do work better then a Walmart board you can get a complete board by element for a good price surprisingly not that high at all considering it's by element but it's also one of the older designs the one that says wind water fire and earth and you can get ot for 66
Yeah a cheap board is never the best option. But this one should not be bought.
Bought a tony hawk signature board for $14. stepson will use it for a few days and he'll be bored with it. It'll go directly into the trash after that. Perfect price point
Well if he doesnt wanna learn to skate then thats a good option
@@KodyWalker He's already bored with skating. The scratch was itched. Board is underneath a recliner collecting dust.
Thank you so much I have this board and now I know
Glad I could help!
mines barely rolls anywhere I’m trying to learn but it’s hard with that board
Im sorry to hear that. If its new enough maybe take it back n spend $10 more for the Darkstar skateboard. Its much better.
mine rolls fine i can even ollie 😭😭but i’m planning on buying a real board this summer
But the deck had 9 ply , just change the wheels and trucks and you’re good to go .
That is scumbagish of Tony Hawk to put his name on that , knowing the only people who buy those boards are kids.
Sadly Tony sold his likeness so these companies can just make products and put his name on it. Whether he agrees to it or not.
I did give the video a thumbs up I did comment and I did subscribe..🙂🙂🙂
Maybe this is a bad scateboard but everyone has different opinions for example you are a more like a pro scater so we know you won't like it and it's not the best board but it works for beginners so they learn their balance and have fun.
That is true. maybe someone wants a skateboard that doesn't roll. From my personal opinion it's a waste of money when a board that is 1000 times better for only $10 more is hanging right next to it.
I have one... I put my Indy's in it with bones wheels, totally change the game but still, that 9ply board down not compare to the Canadian maple 7ply
139 hollow is what I put in it and 51mm bones V4
As long as it works for you. That's all that matters. I wouldnt recommended this board to anyone though.
@@KodyWalker i don't recommended either, i got it as my first board, realized it sucked, so i went to a skate shop and told me what was wrong... The whole thing lol , so i ended up buying a birdhouse with real trucks and all, then after adding months of practicing, decided to put Indy's on that Walmart board, i was able to skate it but it's not the same, it's good for rainy days though for that i do recommended lol
i’m still looking for hate comments
Im sure there are plenty on my channel hahaha
I got one just to know how to use it tho in Christmas ima get a expensive one 😈
Yessir
Nice shoes
I bought the signature series skateboard awhile back and I just thought I sucked so I stopped trying picked it back up after awhile and tried still the same issue glad to know it wasn’t me :) anyways would it be worthwhile to just change the wheels and bearings or should I just buy a complete new board
A new set of wheels and bearings is gonna cost more than this whole board. If your Walmart carries the Darkstar skateboards or Braille get one of those.
@@KodyWalker I’m actually from the uk and ordered the board online I’ve looked for dark star but I only see just decks and wheels. the wheels and bearings I found online are cheaper than a complete from braille by quite a bit is it still worth it to buy a complete board? Edit: my trucks are metal as it isn’t the exact model you have if that makes any significance because I actually got this board before this video.
The trucks are my board are metal. But braille makes a Walmart deck now that's only like 30-50$ American. Idk. If you're from the UK shipping costs could be crazy.
@@KodyWalker yea the shipping costs are quite a bit a lot of the completes I’ve been looking online here in the uk are around the same quality as this tony hawk one so I think im gonna get these wheels and bearings and just upgrade my board for other things if need be. Thanks for the help!
I wanna get into skating but I have no idea what I should even get. I have a Tony hawk signature board and I am very frustrated with how bad it rolls. Goes super slow. 😞 I’m super frustrated because I don’t understand what to get.
Yea i wish i saw this sooner because this is my board
Same! I just got it and didn’t even get the chance to go to a skatepark. I think I may need to get some new wheels and bearings but other than that I THINK I might be good
No i think you should get a new board. Unless u cant afford one like me
@@wesleyreyes3505 yeah I don’t I’m just a kid. The best thing I could possibly do would be to get new wheels and bearing
Dontheking30 me too im.. im not gonna say my age online so under 15
@@wesleyreyes3505 same I’m also under 15 and don’t have that type of money
but how do you make the Tony hawk wheels go faster
You would need new bearings. Probably new wheels too. I don't recommend buying this board.
Me iba a comprar una de estas pero ahora me esta entrando la duda, en la tienda que vi estaban estas y las tony hawk y las polemic, polemic seria una buena marca para empezar? O al menos es mejor que estas?
Bruh i knew it was my bearings. 😒 i had to order bearings because my tony hawk board is not rolling. I was so sad. Because i really wanted a skateboard, not for it to be low quality. So hopefully the bearings i ordered will help my board a bit. And thank you for this video ✨💖
Well i hope the bearings help you out. I kinda felt like the wheels were trouble too. If nothing else you can have fun practicing tricks not moving much.
Also u don’t have to take the wheel off I’ve ripped that plastic off in Walmart lol
Yeah you dont gotta but I like to.
I bought this board as a practice balance board inside didn’t even use the trucks wheels or bearings
Nice. I hope its fun.
Tony Hawk said you're not doing it right. 😂
🤣🤣🤣. Id like to see Tony Hawk drop in on his giant half pipe on this board. He would eat sheit lol.
I did not have the plastic on my tony hawk skateboard wheel I cut it
Nice.
so i bought the tony hawk board like a few months ago and with the wheels it had,,,it honestly sucked since i was always behind my friend who was SOOOO ahead of me and i would get so tired and then one of my friends put new wheels on it and it went way more faster but it super wiggly and today i got my new board just the board itself and im using the wheels my friend gave me since they are really good and i didn’t take all the plastic off and im having trouble take the screws off from the bottom and i think it’s from the plastic 🤦🏾♀️
i thinks it’s kinda dumb putting all the plastic under the the screws and everything
Im glad you got it figured out and got a better setup now.
@@KodyWalker haha thanks
I have a Tony Hawk board and let me tell you, it is HORRIBLE/TERRIBLE. It so slow, it doesn’t even go fast. It barley rolls. Like BRUHHHHHHHH 😡😠
It makes skateboarding un enjoyable when the board doesnt even roll.
put ur mask on right
I have a deviated septum. Im exempt from masks.
for real!! and then he has the audacity to go like “ahhh de-masked”??? like bro you didn’t even have it on 🙄🙄
Ok he's is rolling. But my bored never rolled at all did I get scammed?
I had to loosen the wheels quite a bit and it took a lot of force to get it to roll :/
@@KodyWalker yeah that's what my dad said to loosen the wheels but I threw that bored away and got a new one
Same
I saw one at the Walmart in thinking of getting one but when I saw your video I made sure to not get it
The Darkstar completes walmart sell arent terrible. Just dont go for those under 30$ boards.
That was made for cruising right
That is a joke right 😂
this is the board i have cause my mom won’t buy me a real one😅
Dang. Its too bad you couldn’t convince her to spend just $10 more on the Darkstar deck right next to it. Its 1000% better.
@@KodyWalker yea i heard that board is really good! maybe i can save up
I got this board today I love it
You gotta be joking. This board doesn't even roll.
because abec7 can role as good as others its just walmart gets them dirty
if you buy new trucks and wheels, everything else but use the same deck will it be make it better?
Anything would be an upgrade for this board. It’s Chinese maple (pro boards are Canadian maple which are more durable). These are also the lowest quality bearings and wheels you’ll find. The trucks are metal at least
once the wheels lock up
can you unlock them ?
Mine never locked. If your bearings break then you gotta get new ones.
@@KodyWalker i just purchased thsi Tony Hawk signature skateboard from eBay for £22.
i wanted to start skateboarding up as a hobby because i watched all these youtube vidz and it looks like good fun.
But i was never going to do any tricks on it because that seems too dangerous for me to try.
But i only just wnated to go cruising on it only.
Tony hawk is worth way more then Walmart disappointment but we forgive you
Its sad to see Tony Hawks name on such garbage
i got a tony hawk just to get into skateboarding... i want money for a new one
Hopefully you were able to return it so you can add that money towards a better board.
@@KodyWalker it's actually 6 months that i use it, but it's ok for the beginning. Anyway i'm saving money right to get a new setup
I wanted to start skating so I bought this board as a practice board and it’s pretty decent
Im glad its working for you.
I have one and the reason why it’s not working is because you have to push hard
The bearings & wheels are very not good. Also im 220lbs so maybe if you weigh less it rolls better.
I broke the truck in half within 10 mins
I love skateboarding it is so fun
Yes it is!
Tony Hawk, you’re the skateboard legend.I will forever be destined to skate by God himself. If it’s a biscuit or not there’s no wrong reason to grab a biscuit and go skate.But what gets you into skate is not what is going to keep you into skate…So sit back enjoy the biscuit and have fun.Playing for the sake of playing…A.K.A.skating for the sake of skating..I left the plastic on and it took me 36 attempts on my video check the playlist 💯🙂🙂🙂
This was one of my first boards ever and the bearings were so trash I would fall off of it every time because it would stop super fast 💀
Tony hawks not a sellout bro... he’s a guy that’s trying to make a career out of skateboarding... that’s kinda hard to do
I would sell out to make a living skateboarding too. Just makes me sad some kids get this and then it doesnt even roll.
@@KodyWalker it kickflips tho
You can grease barring alot of time there just not grease right
Not these bearings and wheels. Its the quality of the product not that they are dry.
@@KodyWalker I see kids break name brand board day one of skating them darkstar a good walmart board compete 40 bucks u can reuse truck replace bearings 17 buck reds if the boards break so what u replace them on a regular
The problem is parents buy this for their kids and it sucks. Yes the darkstar walmart board is much better. I made a video on it already. This video is so parents or young kids do not waste their money.
Tony the board is 9 ply so if u need a board replacement that not a bad price maybe the reason he sells them with plastic trucks cause he now you got trucks
So should I get this board but get new wheels and bearings I don't know how to spell it im new to skating
I wouldn’t. There’s nothing on this board you’d wanna keep except maybe the trucks if you’re starting out. But you can buy “Core” trucks for the same price as this board. They’re decent entry level pro style trucks. Maybe try piecing together the rest with someones old wheels/bearings and deck. They’d still be better than this junk
Get a different board. Maybe see my latest video.
Me having one:😃✌🏻
Hopefully it is working okay for you ✌🏼
I have the tony hawk blue vulture one I just bought it
I hope it works for you.
Tony said he just landed a 900 behind Walmart with that same board.
I would lessen the bearings
What does that mean?
wanna go to the skatepark tmw but im scared because i have a tony hawk board (my mom didnt go pick up my new expensive skatebaord yet) but i dont want people to make fun
All you gotta do is just be respectful and try not to sit or stand in the way. Skateparks work on taking turns on obstacles. So just watch around you and you should be fine. Maybe take a friend too.
@@KodyWalker wow, thanks dude, i appreciate it alot
my advice is just butt bomb that tony hawk board and wait for your mo to pick up the good one lol
What about the 360 cosmic or are they still as bad first start
Never heard of it.
I bought this board and it wouldn’t even roll 😭 I just gave up on it and got a good board lol
Haha yeah. Those wheels n bearings are horrid 😆
@@KodyWalker I bought one and it hardly rolls. It's a let down, but it will be ok for a first board, as I just started
Where did u get the good board from??
and you should try washing the bearings
