fr tho, I got one board worth around 100 (Canadian) for 30 bucks but it was like brand new, I think someone bought it realized skating wasn't for them and donated it and a longboard around 115 bucks, mint condition for 13 dollars, they even had another board for 10 that was nice but I didn't need another one
Some people want to start skateboarding so they buy a 70-150$ board and they end up realizing skateboarding is not their thing so its best if you learn to ride and maybe ollie in a walmart board.
Respect for recognizing that Walmart boards can be useful for people who are just starting out So many communities, skateboarding included, are so quick to shit on cheap products which just isn't welcoming to newcomers who don't have too much money to spend
Ha! My first board had an aluminum deck with tiny, narrow trux and big wheels. Basically yer standard 70's banana board, but I always dug the aluminum deck and the bottom art design was pretty dope. I just remember a human, animal or maybe creature surfing with this skateboard. I miss it everyday😢
I think my fist was a Walmart one when I was like 5 or sum idk but when I wanted to get deeper in to it I was like 8 got my board at family dollar 💀😭 it was a maple one to😭
Gotta admit one of my strongest boards was baught at Walmart threw on some reds bearings steel trucks and sims wheels for cruising but even with some stress cracks it hasn’t actually broke anywhere lol
@creaturefear4165 I cannot find it online for the life of me. I've been looking everywhere. It wasn't a bad board to learn on but nothing compares to my first 'real' board.
The walmart board i started out with was actually decent. It had full aluminum trucks, abec 5 bearings, pretty good wheels, and a decent deck which was surprising.
My first board came from Sears. Maybe 1987. It was heavy as hell, but I learned to ollie on it. Then when I got my Mark Gonzales board I could suddenly hit huge ollies out of nowhere. It was like running with ankle weights.
My actual first board was a mini board from five below, then I got a long board Penny, but I will still say that my kryptonics board is my first because it's my first actual trick board
Did anybody remember the airwalk McGill board Walmart used to sell in like 06' not gonna lie for 48$ that board was actually a pretty decent board first decent board I ever had
If you’re a beginner and you just want to experiment with skateboarding don’t get a Walmart bored that is the worst thing you can do go to like a fuck pawn store or like a Goodwill or something like that because you could probably find a skateboard for like fucking 15 bucks that’s way better quality even if it is highly damaged it’s still gonna be better until you get your first actual board
The first two boards I ever had as a kid were from walmart the first one was pretty bad but helped me learn my stance at least the second one was a tony hawk one which was decent enough to allow me to learn to drop in on ramps I learned that before ollies I'd still advice getting a complete or something slightly better
As long as it can ollie n roll smooth, it's a good beginner board imho. I got cheated for my first board. It's a straight plank, plain garbage for 50bucks. There wasn't youtube tutorial yet so idk boards are actually made of thin 7ply material compressed into a mold. Then i spent another 68 for 2nd parts to make a real board. By the time I got a new legit setup(about $160), my lower back was done.
My first board was from toys r us and it had ninja turtles on it, one day my dad said I should personalize it so I covered the whole bottom of the deck with silver duct tape
I would actually probably have to disagree on this one. Walmart boards at least from my experience usually do not roll like at all. It can be really frustrating and discouraging to new riders. I’m glad I didn’t quit because of my board lol
My first board was a blind brand board it costed 110 at a skateboard shop it started chipping then I got a new board than my board now it’s a baker brand it costed 280 dollars for everything I got shoes a backpack and a skate tool to when I bought it
I had a walmart complete, with plastic stuck in the trucks and all, but the trucks were metal so that avoided the biggest issue, never broke and im on my fifth board
90% of people who ever skate will never need to go beyond this level. I spent way too much on my stuff I can’t even do a damn ollie 😂 but at least my trucks will last forever? 😂
My first board was 100$ board and then I upgraded to a 250$ board which I custom picked all the parts myself just shows you can go from a cheaper board to an expensive board in a few months depending on how much you advance and how much time and effort you put into skating
That’s what a lot of people don’t understand.. if you’re really wanting to get into skateboarding it’s not gonna matter to you if it’s a pro or a Walmart board you’re just gonna be stoked to have a board. you’ll ride that Walmart board everyday until you get something better !
I disagree I've been skateboarding for about 2 years now when I first started I'm pretty sure it was a Walmart board. I just never really liked skating with that board not to mention that they hardly roll which can be really misleading to a beginner. If you have never skateboarded and want to try it I would go to a skate shop to try out a few boards and if you like it then maybe pick up one.
You do realize knowing how to skate already makes you LESS likely to break it, right? A beginner aint landing bolts lol. I bought a barely used legit setup off my buddy, he'd gotten it a few years prior. After a week he wanted to learn as well ans bought a Walmart board and it lasted a day. Do they no longer carry darkstar? Im sure theyre not the same you'd get from a skateshop but still.
This is proof that our phones listen to us I legit got that board like 10 a.m. the same day I saw this video it's 12:22 a.m. right now so pretty much within the same day I saw the video of you pretty much reviewing the exact bored I got by the wayside note random thing that happened I broke my nose today
A shuv it was my second truck that I learned I take breaks on skating on holidays and sometimes have a hard time coming back to those tricks any tips to keep me updated and work out my muscle memory
Sorry but I go way against what he said about if your interested try a Walmart board, I say get a cheaper but good skateboard off of Facebook or somthing and see if it’s somthing your going to want to put time and money into, skateboarding is one of the best things in life, so try with somthing you can get the real feel of skating, if I started on a Walmart board I wouldn’t have been skating today most likely you can’t get confident on a Walmart board, so I encourage you to learn how to skate guys
In fifth grade I had the choice to choose between one of these and a 200 dollar visa gift card Istg real shit and I picked the Walmart board 😭 It’s what got me into skating tho so ig I’m thankful
bro starts whipping these tricks out like a beginner could do them
I learned the same tricks on a Walmart board
He's showing even if it's a 17 dollar board it is still capable
My thoughts exactly
He’s just showing you that this stuff is quite possible with this budget board
@@FirstLast-qj6lh It’s like Eric Clapton jamming on a first act guitar 😂
Better advice go to your local thrift shop most are bound to have one set up in rough shape that’s 200% better then Walmart for the same price

someone stole my skateboard too. but i got another one
@@Eminem_the_goat dang bro sad to see another one leave the community
I’ve gotten two $150 boards stolen from me in the past 2 years, fucking bums out here
360 shuvs just look so clean dude
It was a 180
My first board was a random board I found from the thrift store 👍
heelflip was clean asf
I agree with this tbh. Specially growing up parents don’t always have the funds to buy $100+ set up board that you might not even use.
Ha! My first board had an aluminum deck with tiny, narrow trux and big wheels. Basically yer standard 70's banana board, but I always dug the aluminum deck and the bottom art design was pretty dope. I just remember a human, animal or maybe creature surfing with this skateboard. I miss it everyday😢
My first board was from a skate shop
got mine for $15 because the wrapper was off a bit and it looked like someone had been ridding it through the store lol
I think my fist was a Walmart one when I was like 5 or sum idk but when I wanted to get deeper in to it I was like 8 got my board at family dollar 💀😭 it was a maple one to😭
Gotta admit one of my strongest boards was baught at Walmart threw on some reds bearings steel trucks and sims wheels for cruising but even with some stress cracks it hasn’t actually broke anywhere lol
Ahhh yes the original beginner board
It's like with any sport... If you're actually good you can use any equipment, not just the best
My first board was a Walmart board. I think the brand was called Voltage. It had clear grip tape lol.
Dude Clear grip tape sounds sick

I got my first one from my dad, we can do a kick flip, and go zig zag on it, he gave it to me and I made him proud
My actual first board was a mini board from five below, then I got a long board Penny, but I will still say that my kryptonics board is my first because it's my first actual trick board
Mini Logo Complete goes from $46-110. If you even want to think about riding long term that’s where you should start.
Did anybody remember the airwalk McGill board Walmart used to sell in like 06' not gonna lie for 48$ that board was actually a pretty decent board first decent board I ever had
I should go for the cheaper boards, after i got the experience and the money i get the legit one
I agree walmart boards are good for beginners but at the same in like 4 months the trucks literally fell apart beyond repair😭
IM TRYING OUT SKATING AND IM NOT KIDDING THATS MY BOARD😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
that’s the exact same one I have 😅 same back design and everything

My first board was $7 at goodwill 😂 got it a few months ago. I’m also a 29 year old girl. I wanna just ride, tricks sound fun eventually
As long as it can ollie n roll smooth, it's a good beginner board imho.
I got cheated for my first board. It's a straight plank, plain garbage for 50bucks. There wasn't youtube tutorial yet so idk boards are actually made of thin 7ply material compressed into a mold.

My first board was and STILL IS an amazon board... it's not that bad, "Fish Skateboards" never heard out it but it works
My first board was from toys r us and it had ninja turtles on it, one day my dad said I should personalize it so I covered the whole bottom of the deck with silver duct tape
First to, the bearing are packed with grease, take em off, clean em and use skate board lube , hell of a difference!
Bro, that is my first skateboard
It might be expensive to afford the Walmart skateboard of learning and skating up to the next level!
It’s $17
@@deejaykay8410 exactly 100%
They’re cheap
@@Wit.j I agree
@@ryanrowe1975some people are poor and can’t afford a 17 dollar board

My first skateboard was a regular one
I have that that board you had in the intro is my first board
I got a walmart board, I find I can practice tricks on it, but the wheels for actual riding are so sketchy
Get a braille board, they aren’t great but they’re perfect for beginners
My first board was a pre-built spitfire deck from Zumiez with unbranded trucks and rubber wheels 😂
Was it good though i plan on getting pre built then customizing it later
I have my very first board and it was the same board but different colors and designs I can do a drop in hafe pipe and a olie
