Mine was a birthday present from KMart. Hobie the Cat. The graphic was literally a giant paper sticker, the bearings didn’t spin regardless of how much 3in1 I doused them in, the wheels were plastic and cracked and split, and the grip was paint with sand in it. Worse by far than anything at Walmart today.

My mom got me a complete used board in 2003 for my 13th birthday in El Salvador don't remember the brand tho.

it would be sick if the walmart board companies put a little note in each package that says "if you enjoy skating and want to get more serious about it, we highly recommend looking at stores specifically for skating to get higher quality gear!"

@@manashieldworld Are you dumb? That's why I said the companies that put the boards in walmart should put them in the packaging.

i think the higher quality walmart boards can be good enough to get people into skateboarding, but the bad ones are bad enough to make me think they do more harm than good. i wish there was some kind of quality minimum they all had to have. even for the newest beginners, the worst walmart boards seriously have no use. they're difficult to do anything on even if you're really experienced, and can't really be transportation either since they don't roll. at that point, all we're doing is hurting the environment by wasting materials, and scaring some people away from skateboarding because they get fooled into thinking its harder than it is

They are affordable and often help in bringing the skate industry to a greater broader audience, i see them as the introductory skateboard for kids, to get them rolling around

I agree. My only real issue with Walmart boards is that they DON'T ROLL!! Now I'm well over a decade past my Walmart phase so maybe they've gotten better since then, but I just wish that the board would actually roll as intended. Not asking for Swiss bearings, just something to get you past 1ft per push (even less in non-skatepark environments). The boards are clearly not meant to be built for stair sets etc, which makes sense as to why the ply isn't strong at all - I just feel like a beginner should be comfortable learning to navigate on a flat plane without hindrance.

Yep. Back when their skate brand was called 2Xs in the late 90's. At least their boards now tend to have some concave. That shit was flat back then apart from the nose and tail. They also made skate shoes in that 90's Airwalk and Vans style. We were poor, and my parents didn't understand why the price mattered until it broke from... pretty much nothing. They ended up getting me proper skate shoes and a complete from the shop nearby for my birthday. The owner was awesome. He would make certain shoes and boards cheap for families. Like I got éS Accels for like 20 something to 30 bucks. They used to grip your board for free

I,d like to see someone go & buy one of these cheap board & dissect it , tearing each ply apart , maybe see what kind of wood there using , what kind of glue , if there’s cross layering , what are the wheels made of , what the grip is made of , what kind of metal are the trucks made of , the bushings , the bearings who makes them , the hardware , every inch of the board , just make it scientific so we all know what materials there making these boards out of so we all know how these company’s could improve on these boards . Kinda like reverse engineering them .

I started skating on a Kmart board back in 82', my brother broke it on the second acid drop, but he replaced it with a Powell Perelta deck. As a kid i was crushed, but happy with the new board, and looking back it was probably the best thing to happen. At 50, I still love skating and am currently getting back into it.

Mini logo is really great and so affordable. In the UK there is AWALYS online skate shops has them on sale, you can pick them up for under £50. Quality is mind blowingly great and not talked about enough at all. So underrated!

Another way to buy an affordable board is to look at flea markets, swap meets and even garage sales, I found a Stevie Williams DGL with Royal Trucks and Bones wheels at a flea market for $20 that was board I started to learn Ollies on.

Yup, my first board was a Walmart board back in like 1997. My parents wanted to make sure I was not going to bail on the hobby right away before they coughed up the money for a "real" board. After a month or two I talked them into going to the local skate shop and got a proper set up.

In the 90s we called any crappy skateboard a Nash. I didn’t know why at the time but later learned that Nash is one of the old skateboard companies. It’s funny how you hear something as a kid and just role with it as truth. You see plastic trucks and say aw man you riding a Nash?

Mine was a "No Rulz" Kmart board, which slowly became a Kmart board with second hand bones wheels and bearings. After 3/6 months, I had a second hand Alien Workshop slick given to me. My first new professional level skateboard was a Powell - Mini-logo. GM Trucks. These really soft Bones wheels and Nachi Bearings. Was an awesome birthday, and got some Johnson Emerica's for Christmas 2 days later.

I only recently upgraded from a Kmart board to a proper brand (beginner complete bc budget) and it was the best feeling. However, I do credit the Kmart board's A$35 price tag for actually getting me into skating and being able to learn the basics. I was lucky enough to have found one which wasn't absolutely terrible construction, the wheels were poor but not horrendous and the deck had a proper shape and was not exceptionally flimsy. I did lose my pivot cups within about 2 weeks of the Kmart board's purchase but other than that, yeah.

My first very own board was from a supermarket and it really sucked, but somehow I managed to even hillbomb with it successfully. Soon after that I got a random tony hawk / birdhouse board from a local sports shop, and I'd say it was 5/10, it helped me to learn more, but unfortunately I didn't have money to buy a real skateboard so I got tired of it. This was around the ages of 10-13. Now that I've started skating again as an adult, I first bought a complete that I personally didn't like. But this year I'm skating the "professional" one which made me learn like 3 different tricks in a month or so. So I highly recommend getting a proper skateboard that you build yourself. You won't regret it and even if you do, you can always resell it and get some of your money back.

My FIRST board was one I bought from my brother at our family garage sale. It was old school shaped yellow “Killer Bee” board made by “Sportfun” had all metal trucks, risers, plastic rails, plastic tail plate and nose cover and a back truck cover I haven’t seen on any other board to this day. It gave sort of a ramp up onto the back truck so you could just lift your nose up onto a curb and the back truck would slide up the curb instead of smashing the kingpin or needing to Ollie. Soon after I realized that board shape wasn’t cool and I NEEDED a popsicle shaped board with a nose that had concave. I found the perfect board (because the graphic was SO cool to me) and it was at some sporting goods store. It was Nash brand and the WORST board I could have chosen. The graphic was literally a printed piece of paper stuck on with spray adhesive. It flaked off as one big piece. The hanger on the trucks was that cheap metal and the baseplate was plastic. Wheels were atrocious. The wood for the board itself was garbage and the paint on it was like they dipped the board in some black plastic/wax that chipped away and was super sticky. I can’t believe I made my parents spend like $60+ on it now knowing what I know. I will say most skate shops in my area at the time were SUPER intimidating and I would have been afraid to go in even with my parents. I knew nothing and didn’t want to look stupid. Plus the some peeps skating community can be a bit unwelcoming haha. It’s why I love Braille and a lot of the new vibes from modern skating.

Back in the early 80’s when I was a kid learning to skate the cheap beginner boards were mostly made by 2 companies. Either Variflex or Nash. You could get them in the big department stores or sporting goods stores but Walmart wasn’t a thing here yet. I do feel like they were a better quality beginner board compared to what you get at Walmart these days and I actually loved my first Variflex board. That thing was a beast and lasted forever. Small, not very wide, no kick tail but a solid piece of heavy wood with nice big soft wheels great for cruising. Decent bearings too. I rode that thing everywhere until I got my first pro board. Schmitt stix Lucero x2.

Same for me too. I had the Variflex he had the Nash.

every time I walk into my local KMART I always end up in the 'wheels' section just to see if the boards have gotten any better or stay the same and even spotted a set of just 52mm wheels in a 4 pack for $4 one time.

My first board was a complete Vision old school set up. My neighbors aunt bought 3 completes from a tag sale and gave them to him. We tried cruising around on them the first day she dropped them off and I was instantly hooked. I used it for about a month and then my mom took me to a local shop called Sartorius skate shop to put together a real complete. My first set-up was- Indy trucks, Spitfire wheels, Black Panther bearings, Black Magic grip, and my first deck was the 8.0 red Shortys Muska silhouette board.

17 years ago when me and my brother were first trying to skate, Academy sports sold Darkstars and Birdhouse, the cheap complete ones of course, but nonetheless that Darkstar board was so close to a pro deck it lasted so long, was thin and sleek like a real pro deck, and had great bearings, like Abec 7s and made it long enough to get him into a real pro deck and fully enjoy the hobby, Academy has Kryptonics now, but still for $40 I think parents or first time skaters should buy one and just ride for a while and see if they enjoy it, and stay away from anything that has plastic trucks and plasticky wheels lol. Spending an extra $20-40 to get a nice complete from a renound brand is much better than buying two or more crap decks and end up hating the hobby. the right tool makes all the difference. Great video Ricky.

My first board was a SpongeBob board from Walmart. I was in fifth grade (10-11). It was an awful board but I was determined. I learned my first kickflip on that board and snapped it going off a small two stair. The skateboarding barrier to entry is expensive at first and can scare people away. I see “cheap” skateboards as a necessary evil. They don’t have to be bad quality. Guys like Kyro, Lutzka and the dudes at Darkstar are godsends for seeing the need in the market and trying to provide good bang for the buck skateboards. We need to appreciate them and encourage the young kids we see skating those boards.

absolutely correct for i got into both paintball and skateboarding using walmart stuff you would never make it on a high level but still there as a cheap baseline to get into the sport and meet the people and from there find what you like and grow from there

The braille walmart board was fire. Shame it was discontinued before they got a chance to promote it because it stomped most completes. The wheels and bearing were solid.

Wdym? I just bought one on the official Walmart shop online today, they’re not discontinued then right?

1st deck was a blind, venture trucks, spitfire wheels and speed demon bearings, was about 260 cnd dollars in the 1990s For a smaller town we had 4 very awesome skate shops

I started with a skateboard from some local store for $24, the trucks, bearings, and wheels sucked, but the deck itself held up. I eventually bought a new set of trucks wheels and bearings and that's still what I use, cheap and good for me as a begginer

I just bought(as in maybe an hour ago) a walmart board as my first board. I am not sure how it will turn out, but for now i dont intend on doing any tricks .I bought it for 20 dollars and I am using this to get into better shape. I started on roller blades but I dont have as much affinity for it like I had when I used my friends longboard.I am very new to this and I was searching for a fun way to do cardio, so I think this could be it. Simply rolling down the street and working on moving faster or cornering would be great exercise.

My first board was from Sports Authority, and it said “Snake Eyes” on the graphic lol. It was actually solid for a beginner board, I replaced the bearings (which were trash) and it was good to go.

I had one from Target back in like 00-01.. it was an X-games brand and it was actually pretty sweet and I’ve looked on eBay to try and find one just to hang on to for nostalgia but it’s lost media at this point

My board was an amazon board With cast iron trucks

My first board in 1998 was from China, had a (bootleg) Goku DBZ logo. Board had no pop, plastic trucks, and the worst possible bearing/wheel combo. Push as hard as you can to roll 2 feet. Gotta start somewhere lol.

I was a manager at WM years ago... that company has been the last nail in the coffin to many company's sales

My first had been a Gordon & Smith complete-board from a local PX-Sport Store, here in Germany, back in 1989. It was pretty good quality and lasted about eight years, before it was to damaged, to be ridden again. Bought this before the popsicle decks hit the scene, in 1992, for around $150,-. Been my 13th birthday and my godfather made this my birthday present. A school friend, whoms father served in the army, helped to get it bought, because I've been a born german. Luved that board a lot. :o) I'm 47 now and wish to get back into it. Just to experience the difference, of the new designs.

My first skateboard was a Walmart board. I don’t remember the brand but it had plastic trucks and those broke on my first day out with it. So was my 2nd one but it was a Tony Hawk one. I learned how to ride on the TH one, and later on learned to ride better with a Death Wish board that was given to me. Now I’m 26 and have a beginner complete and am trying to learn some tricks

1:11 - I'm curious to hear more about this beginner complete 2nd category for a beginner, and the various ways it differs from a professional board.

Here in South Africa, we dont have Walmarts but my mates and I would buy from a store called GAME (its like a walmart) and the skateboards were called HUD. They were ass boards but they were my and my friends gateway skateboards before we got 'real' skateboards

0:16 seeing that woman be so happy just made my day 😊

My first skateboard was this thick steel board my mom bought at a surf shop (mid 90s). It as up high and she walked in saying her kid wants to skateboard and that's all they had. I banged my shins on that thing so many times. It was great for board slides on pipes, but it was super hard do any basic trick. Still fond memories of it though.

It was 1972. I was 9 and one of the few girls in my neighborhood to ride a skateboard. My first board was a simple wooden skateboard with brand new on the market Cadillac yellow urethane wheels with loose bearings. Moved on to Logan Earth Ski, then Sims boards and wheels, BennettPro and Tracker trucks.

i see the braile skateboard on the walmart website... is it still selling?

Im a beginner skater that hasent even been skating for a year, but my first ever board was a world industries complete from canadian tire (with the red devil) and it is a REALLY good board for beginners. it is actually good wood, metal trucks, good grip, and original abec-7 bearings. i bought it last year april, after learning about skateboards, and now, after not even a year of skateboarding, i can do kickflips, pop shuvs, high ollies, etc. and my best trick: tre flips this summer i want to learn how to boardslide, but i also did buy a good board from my locals, a lucas rabelo blue furbie flip deck, and still using all the other stuff from the complete. im actually glad i bought that board lol.

My first was a Walmart board back in the 90s but they were wayyy worse than they are today. 2 inch think board, plastic truck and plastic wheels were 60$ and that’s back in the mid 90s

I def think this is a great idea to get more people out skating, most people can't afford to go all out for their first deck, and let's face it most people first starting out aren't gonna be doing switch flips down a 5 stair or hitting a rail, so just to learn the basics you really don't need anything super tough, if they can just make a good deck with metal trucks, decent bearings and some plain wheels you'd be set for a good minute while you learn to push and Ollie

In england I've got back into skateboarding after 17 years as im teaching my 3 year old, since he was 2 on a ookkie board now got him a new deck. On a deal i got him the starwars tie fighter element prebuild for £25 and in the deal i got a enuff prebuild (which i swapped out the bearings after one skate) for £18 tested both and both are solid and have good pop to them, im no way smashing stair sets but for both to get a session on, a absolute bargain. I have 7 boards on order as im building him wall art and shelfing out of decks and a selection of £40 decks is all good, better than the £80 toy mashine, girl, zero decks i was burning though when i was 19

The concept and market share of Darkstar was actually a really good idea, and they had some decent skaters on the team. It's not a bad thing to sell to the entry level market, and it doesn't mean that people who want a sweet setup can still buy one. I can still buy the Antihero boards I like. I don't understand why people get mad about it. It doesn't really affect more experienced skateboarders

for me, the bottleneck wasn't the price or finding a skateshop but figuring out which kind of trucks / wheels / board i needed

honestly, the cruisers I've gotten from Walmart have been pretty alright. their offbrand pennyboards and the quest one I got recently.

I wish somebody would go back and catalog these “toy” decks. There are so many people who had those first, realized they were trash, and moved on, but it can be impossible to track down even pictures of them now because they are just insearchable. I can remember having a TRUToys (toys r us brand) deck as a kid, and I wouldn’t mind getting one now for the wall while they are pretty valueless, but man they are hard to search lol.

As a beginner from egypt its hard to find wooden board all the skateboard are plastic here

Ive gotten a longboard from Walmart (I believe quest is the brand) and I liked but didn't love it BUT I mostly didn't like it because the trucks were super tight and I wasn't aware that helped your turning. After watching Maya's vods I bought another from walmart (Madd Gear) and have started to try tricks and loosened the trucks and I love it! So it really depends yk but amazing video!!

My first board came from a surf shop because my mom skated, cruising down hills and just pushing around town, she'd let me ride her board since I can remember, definitely before I could ride a bike, then I got my own board when I was 11, my mom could go down bigger hills than me until I was like 16 or 17.

I remember the first board I got.. I got it for my birthday randomly cuz I never actually asked for one but I still learned on it and grew to love skateboarding because of it and ya it was a Walmart board.. pretty sure the name on it was Nash… but then shortly after as kids we would go downtown to the back of our local skate shop and go threw the dumpster and find everything from boards to wheels and trucks so we would put together our own boards for free for a while.

My first board was from the swap meet, flea market. After 3 months, got myself a blank deck since it was $20 versus and actual board, $60

My first board was a kmart which had a plastic tail guard. I would ride it on the ashfelt road cause there was no sidewalks where i lived. You had to push even going diwnhill but i taught me good balance and confidence. Later my uncle gave me his old board which was chipped and waterlogged but had awesome bearings. Then i started getting good. In Australia skate parts are super expensive but in the last few years its much better. Wait for a sale and you will get a $50 zero deck $60 indy standard trucks $30 bearings $50 OJ wheels But at retail price that would be like $300 +

my first ever board was a tony hawk Walmart board and it was so trash it wouldn't even roll, so i used my friends board for a month or 2 until i was gifted an element deck and other parts by my local skate crew for going down a ramp for the first time(iv been skating for a lil over a year)

I got one from Walmart back in the early 2000s i don't know if i was just lucky and got a slightly better made board but it lasted me till 2013 before the front part snapped off when i went over a slight bump on a sidewalk needless to say i had to walk a half mile back home while carrying my broken board

Only good sub $50 board is definitely the Positiv Andy Macdonald board on Amazon. I think it's 40 right now and it's all Mini Logo parts which is Skate1 (Powell Distribution). Very solid boards. Unfortunately max 8' width but that should be enough for a younger beginner and the trucks turn so much better than that of any $80-$100 complete. I started on that board which i got for $30 in 2016 and I was shocked when I upgraded to a real setup with a Toy Machine deck and Thunders that it wasn't THAT much better.

My first wood board was a Variflex Ramp Rat in the summer of 1986 at age 11. Next was a Powell Peralta Mike McGill for Christmas 1987.

Never bought one to use because even when I was younger I could tell as soon as I stood on one that if you ever tried to do actual tricks on one it would break. I did however buy one just for my wife to paint so it could be a cool display board.

My first board was a Dominion Street. This was before concave or noses existed.. Great beginner boards compared to any Walmart trash.

ive been using a cheap complete from enuff for a while now, im not even a beginner, i just like the feel of it, im a casual skater now, started with zero but enuff does what i need now my knees are on the way out

Hey Ricky so i got a Walmart board when i was l little kid bit never learned to skate due to not really have any place to learn. I recently Bought a Cal7 board because I've seen them sponsor some youtube channels. Would you ever review one of their boards or any other smaller brands. I haven't found many reviews on them

my first board was a pre build element

I mean if skaters don’t want skating to be easier to try out for new people, they do realize that’s literally going cause a decline in skaters, which means decline in relevance for skating, decline in profits from skating, decline in skate companies and pro skaters…they would basically watch the thing they love die a slow death… but imagine if everyone tried skating once, how many would like it and stick with it, what those people would go on to possibly add to the world of skating, it could become as mainstream as let’s say pro wrestling or boxing, I compare it to those cause all 3 are a particular taste kinda sports related thing

A tony hawk walmart skate board was my first skate board😭😭

My first board came free with a t shirt i bought (this was a long time ago, i dont remember the store or the brand)

i got my first board ever from walmart or kmart when i was 13. It was An 80'S fish board with no nose , just had the tail. with venture trucks and mutant wheels

like the lead up to the vid in the community posts... "I'm on my phone inside Walmart right now" 😂

Good comparison

in 1986 all I saw was Powell and Vision boards then I saw a guy with a Variflex and was like what's that piece of crap (some variflex aren't bad to be fair) .. so I was able to avoid the crap boards from the start purchasing a Mark Gonzales board with gullwing trucks and crossbone wheels in 1987

My first board I got at age 1 was a penny board from a skate shop but my first real board was a Powell peralta board I got at three, I used Powell peralta boards till I started to use element or death wish.

Started with a target board that sucked, then got an airwalk board from big 5 that was mid but had good pop, dad snapped that 😅, then eventually stepped up to a set up from val surf, it was like hopping out the geo metro, into a mercedes, soo much better. But it worked out perfect, it was easier learning on slower boards so I didnt bust my arse as much 😂

There used to be more in between boards. Varaflex comes to mind. And I mean below even a complete but above trash stuff/Walmart boards. I think we need something similar to say the Braille board but sold online or something. No reason it needs to be in Walmart. Then they could have more control, still sell cheaply, and possibly have less overhead other than shipping. But idk I don't make skateboards I just ride em lol

Thanks Ricky

i’ve been skating the same board for almost a year got it from kmart and it’s actually been really durable

I went from hand me down boards to buying a $20 store board to having a fractured nose because one of the trucks broke.

I bought a habitat complete for £50 to try to get back into skateboarding after years off and the quality is really good, ive literally just ordered an enuff complete on sale for £20, there really is no need for these wall mart boards any more

Shaq didnt cut ties with reebok. He was still signed just no signature shoes

Guys when i frist started out i got a traget board and my freind that has been skating for 6 years now said that it was actually pretty good for a traget board since he had a Walmart board he said he wish he got a traget one when he first started because they are actually decent

First board was a toys r us spongebob tiny board with helmet and pads at 5 years old. Many razor scooters and walmart boards later I finally got an A-TEAM themed Kryptoniks board. I got good enough on that to beat my friend in skate at field day for his thrashed Enjoi complete. The rest was history.
