in the scale from 1 to 10. Is this board easy to learn?

It depends on your skill level with riding skateboards in general. I've been skateboarding my whole life so for me it was simple. For someone with little skill set on a board I would rate it from an 8-10.

I have had the board for the past 6 months and have loved it as my first long board and still continue to enjoy it. I haven't had that much weight on it yet but I'm @200lbs and have no issue at all. Board is not super stiff so it has a little flex to it which I like personally. Cheers!

For beginners and those who are on a budget,for sure. This is my first board and I have no complaints but I have ridden other boards that are much more smooth and carve a lot better I.e landyatchz and pintail boards.

This is a great board for the price. However, I would recommend that she start on a larger board. It's much easier for first-timers to learn on larger boards. My 7 and 10 year old had fun trying to get on it, but I quickly realized it was too small for a beginner,

Before ordering this board I had never ridden a skateboard or longboard before. After using it for a few days I was amazed at how fast I picked up the skill. I also never fell down, but I guess I was just lucky. From personal experience, this is a great beginner board!

Decent board but you're gonna wanna upgrade the trucks and wheels eventually. it's a good board to start in but you'll want a better board later in. For 100 bucks though it's alright. Complete set ups are usually really expensive

It is but the board is cheap. It's too heavy and impossible to do tricks I got this a month ago

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

It comes with a board with levels 1-10. And pieces that represent your character on the board. That's about it, you're just paying for a game board and some game pieces. I think it's worth it, though.

I am 200 and it holds up well. I am able to carve around pretty good on in...Love this board Good name and quality!

Your answer is yes it is. Its design and depth is definitely for you. May I suggest purchasing finger ease . It will be probably more comfortable if you are persistent in your endeavor to learn

I think that depends. Is balance something you need to work on as well? If so, I would get a bigger board to give you more space to practice.

It's good for starters because it's a cheap board that still gives the feel for longboarding. It's easy to ride except for the wheels. The wheels it comes with are extremely hard, so they don't absorb any shock, which can cause you to be thrown (depending on how fast you're going). Overall, if you decide you really like longboarding, I'd suggest that this board is fine, but you may find that you'll want to replace the wheels and bearings with better quality stuff.

I have been able to get it to slide a little, but the wheels and trucks are not meant for sliding and when you enter a slide it is very difficult to keep it going. I know that you want a board to slide with but you don't want to spend a lot of money, This board is mainly for Speed and Downhill and is on the cheap side. I recommend checking out originalskateboards dot com or loadedboards dot com for sliding boards. There are some top of the line boards on those sites for under 200. Pintail Longboards Complete on Orginalskateboards go for $139 - $149 they also have a Manhatten 27 for $130 Which is also complete with trucks, Wheels etc. I skate Original all the way, but Loaded is good too. Hope this helps! I have been able to get it to slide a little, but the wheels and trucks are not meant for sliding and when you enter a slide it is very difficult to keep it going.

I believe it will be. My son is 8 soon to be 9 and he likes it. Unless your 10-year old is a pro I think this board will be a great starter board. It also looks and feels great.

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.

I got my son this board as his first "real" board at 13 a year ago. It is a great kit and has held up well. Looks good, rides well. The wheels that came with it seemed "soft" - they wore out kind of fast. But they are easy to replace. Also, one set of bearings kind of gummed up. Might need to keep an eye on those. But definitely I'd say a good first board to get used to.
