I had a Nash skateboard from Walmart that actually have plastic trucks and the "griptape" was actually just a course, ground up material glued to the top of the deck. This was back in 1997 or 1998.
I actually had the same exact Yu-gi-oh walmart skateboard as my first board and remember the trucks being too tight to turn. Completely forgot about it until you showed it. Upgraded to the sports authority World Industries board which was better quality but still cheap compared to real boards.
Heck yeah! It's honestly a really cool graphic... just was a terrible quality complete. It makes me laugh knowing that Madrid Skateboards did a Yu-gi-oh collab a couple years back. Those decks were sick! Look them up if you haven't seen them!
My first 2 boards were walmart boards. The 1st was an 80s style shark shape board with no concave and a stereotypical for the era graphic of a demon. I loved it though, I learned to ride well for the first time and do acid drops off curbs with it. The 2nd board was an X Games brand complete, also from Walmart. Honestly it wasnt bad at all. It had metal trucks with a kingpin that didnt stick wayy above the hanger(not that I knew how to grind yet lol) and bearings that allowed me to roll at more than walking pace. I heard you were supposed to wax your board so my friend and I removed the trucks and spent an hour putting several coats of his Dads Turtle Wax(for cars😂) on the deck. I excitedly went to boardslide my local parking block, where I then promptly busted my ass when the board zoomed out from under me!! I miss those days. But yeah, not all wally world boards were complete poop.
i came in to this thinking, surly a walmart board will be cheap and therefore a good board to get a kid when they first want to get in to skateboarding, then when they want to get more seriouse about it you then invest in a better board. but then i saw they're like $60 while i was expecting them to be like $30 tops withhow shitty they are ....god damn
@MidnightSnackSkateboarding it definitely looked dope and I thought it was great at the time but would cringe at the thought of skating it now at 37 and yes I'm still pushing the wood 🪵 the goose gave me a slight addiction
like 95% of all decks are pressed in the same 3 factories. As long as the deck itself is maple, it will be pretty much no different than the deck you get out of a skateshop with a different bullshit graphic; the heat transfer will probably suck tho. The trucks will probably be plastic, the bearings ass and the wheels ass but as along as the deck is not birch, it will be fine.

You remember that darkstar went out and was in wal mart for a while.
the moment you learn to ollie, the board or the trucks will break, i remember going through this back in the early 2000s
