Why not to buy Walmart skateboards?

Answer 1

Voodoo 13: Many people that skate like to flaunt their new 'name brand' boards.. I have dozens of expensive boards, but if you have never skated before Wal mart or target or Toys-r-us is the perfect place to buy a cheap bord to practice on. What if you find that you don't like skatebording as much as you thought?? Well if you spend $160+ for a 'pro' board instead of $40 at the store you wont feel as bad.. Or if you fall while practicing riding and you watch the $160 board roll under a car getting crushed..you really won't feel as bad if you bought a cheap one... I've always said buy cheap until you're ready for a 'name brand' board. Don't let anyone give you crap because it's not from the skateshop.. you're a beginner and your 4 wheels spin on the street the same as the guy who paid big bucks..

Answer 2

Wal-Mart skateboards are way worse than pro boards because they are slower and they have trucks that rust really fast. The Wal-Mart decks are a mass-produced "economy" product.

don't buy Walmart boards because it splits easily. if its cheap it breaks easily you cant really replace the wheels and bearings.its heavier and its hard to turn with it
