is this board good for practicing tricks?

This is not a trick board at all. This is meant for long trips and cruising along. It is a great board for the price, but is not intended for doing 'tricks'.

No, the board is mainly used to learn how to ride, carve, and some dancing. However, this board does allow you to learn how to slide(just not very well).

yes, kids like to practice tricks with it...it's a good board for a beginner.

Not really.. this board is more for cruising than freestyle. Along with that, the wheels the board comes with are extremely gummy. They're quiet and grippy, good for cruising, but bad for sliding.

In my opinion, there is definitely room for improvement. The trucks are pretty smooth for a while if you tweak them right, but overall are pretty standard and eventually become a little too unstable for higher speeds. So I'd say if you have the money to, buy the new trucks for the board (You'll have to eventually anyways). The rubber wheels on the board are certainly a pretty sweet ride if you like smoothness too!

Probably not. I didn't even ride it before it cracked, just stood on it. And it doesn't turn very well either. I would recommend spending a bit more for a better board.

If used regularly it probably wont last that long. Better quality boards will support more weight. I'd go to a local skate shop and ask somebody.

I'm gonna have to say no because its really hard to balance in the first place but if you could track it down somewhere cheaper id say give it a try if you have the patience to practice for weeks. But if your looking for something for rough ground go with a atom 80x mountain board

Hey! I would DEFINETLY reccomend this board if he wants to get into skateboarding. It is very stable and it is great for beginners. I hope he loves it! Best regards

Good balance is needed, therefore it is a step up from skateboard. Remember to wear helmet and use it on a smooth surface. Have fun!

I believe it is to be used for Magic Tricks. I bought this for Poker with my friends so I never use it.

Yes. It is a decent beginner board. Cheap enough. If he is good he will graduate to a better one, if not, it won't make that much dent on the wallet.

It's a very good board to start learning on... for Long boarding. I have found transitioning from a long board like this to a skateboard to be the quite the opposite of progress. Long boards are meant more for distance whereas skateboards are made more for tricks and stunts. While I find Long Boards to be much easier to ride than skateboards, If you are looking to transition to skateboards later I highly suggest starting off with a more basic skateboard as opposed to a basic Long Board.

It actually is an excellent board for the price. It is smooth and quick. I bought for a thirteen year boy on his birthday........broke his arm using it within a week. Good luck!

This is not a smaller size skateboard. It is "regular" size. My grand daughter got it for her 7th birthday. With some practice it will be fine!

I think this board would be appropriate. My child is around the same size & loves it. Her older male cousin is taller & heavier. He enjoys the board as well. He, of course, has a variety of other boards yet says this one is still fun.

buy it and test it but if youre buying this board then you probably are a beginner so practice at your house so you don't make a fool of your self

I would say yes but not 100% sure. One of my boys is 176 and he rides it daily and have no problems. The other is 154 and also rides daily. Just a note that its not a board for tricks. More for riding and gliding along smooth.

In my opinion, it is the perfect bored for beginners, especially for the price. You're not going to find a better board at this price point. I learned on this one myself and it's still fantastic when I do more advanced things one its

My girls are young and inexperienced so they don't turn well, but I love the board - it is a good quality board with good wheels. I think if someone can skate the board would turn well.
