I'm planning on drawing on these. However I still want a proper undefected skateboard because I'll be selling to skaters. Are these worth it?

The boards I received were smooth and unblemished, perfect for artwork to be added.

Duh. They are considered the most reliable by far. If the price shoots above $55, I prefer to grab a bundle of TDKs. Just as reliable in my experiences (3k+ games burnt.)

this one from my experience!! It is a good all around board. and the only update that I recommend is new bearings. I got bones reds on amazon for like 11 bucks!

Depends on where you skate. I practice in a very dirty warehouse, so mine get dirty pretty quick. I go by how they feel and sound. You can tell when they need to be cleaned because they don't roll as smoothly

I have only had my boards for about 2 months, but so far so good. I have a couple that seem like they will be impossible to clean comletely but none are warped or bent and they are used about 1xweek. I have 3 groups using them and I am happy overall with the quality, especially considering the price. Prior to now, I was limited to Dollar store but those were horrible and broke after a couple of uses. Hope this helps :)

yes you can put them on a drop through deck, but I prefer putting them on just a regular skateboard deck. I tried and place them on a 46 downhill board, and they rode pretty cool like surfing on water. Sidewinders ride good on any deck. cruisers are fun, flexi bored are fun too. check out sector 9 striker board.

Yea man the abec 7 ogs are really good. real fast real clean. They started sputterting and lost spin around 2 months of skating everyday.

I also highly HIGHLY recommend different bushings with these trucks. The stock bushings on these are super duper restrictive, good for downhill at high speeds, but they're no fun for cruising or learning how to skate. So get these and buy new bushings, or try a pair of Paris 180's. They're a much nicer set of trucks for all around skating out of the package. Randalls are great, but like I said the stock bushings are far too restrictive and obstructive for regular skating and carving

I honestly don't know, if I were you go to a skate shop "GOOGLE " or go to the mall they usually have 1 there and ask them, this was my 1st board that's why I bought mine complete and ready, but I'm already looking to buy another board this time I'm looking for wheels that'll spin a lot more freely so's I can coast a lot longer, sorry I couldn't have been more help ...

They're decent. I didn't get to use it but I can tell they get dirty easily. The bearings are decent as well.

yes I Loved them and they look good .If they hit the wheel a small spacer will do the trick . I have no problem and i did paint the calipers first but they did not last .Now if i had extra 4000 i will had put the real thing. Good luck

I just opened an empty one, and no, it is not completely flat. Not even when full. Butt it DOES stay open. Personally I use these mainly to store, not to show art, You have to take the image out to get it flat enough to scan with no distortion.. I never had a handled portfolio that was not seriously WEAK at the handle . Itt probably follows that you get what you pay for, although even the expensive ones have not been sturdy enough to carry art., even the drawings that I cart off after displaying them This is one item you should probably purchase at a place you can see it and carry it hands on (you can always look for the same item online later).Jude I just opened an empty one, and no, it is not completely flat.

I don't know either, I was shopping for the best board I could find at a not-too-ridiculous price. This filled the bill for me, regardless of the origin. I'd suggest that if it matters very much to you, you should write the company and ask them about this contradiction. Then let us all know what they say!

@Austin the bearing were about the same quality as the reds bearings. Really the only difference was that they were yellow instead of red. Also the board came with yellow moranga wheels instead of yellow stims. Lastly, the bushings were garbage, but overall I like the board. It takes a little while to adjust to, but still good for tricks and pretty fun

Just bought a pair at a local sporting goods store. They're supposed to have bigger ball bearings (thus smoother rotation) and appear bigger than the original Perfect Pushups. Also they're manufactured by a different company, although both endorsed by the same creator, Alden Mills. Also they're about double the price. I would say they're worth it if you don't mind the price tag.
