This was recommended to me by an expert skateboarder to get for a 6 year old's first skateboard. This child is now taking lessons and succeeding with this board. The wheels are good - not as hard as skate park wheels and not as soft and gummy as cruiser wheels so its sort of right in the middle for a good all-purpose beginner board. The 7.5" wide deck was the right choice for a kid who is learning and still has room to grow and use the board.

The skateboards:

I purchased the yellow kids/mini complete skateboard from the seller Daddies Boards Shop here on Amazon. The skateboard came with both stickers and a skateboard tool as depicted. The board rides smooth and all the components feel of quality. There is no stiffness or extra effort required to get moving on the board. It's a great beginner complete and none of the parts feel sus. The colors is vibrant and the paint has no flaws other than coming off easily. Order arrived in two days from order confirmation with prime.

I also purchased the 8.0" mint skateboard from CCS.com with clear grip tape. The components are equally as good and make learning to skateboard easy and fun. This skateboard does have a pointed nose and flexes a lot more than the mini. It also has an imperfection on the paint job on the board the size of a dime. The paint isn't any tougher and comes off very easily. The scratches you see in the photos are from a combined time of two hours on the board and all I know how to do is push myself around so I'm not doing anything cool or fancy yet. I reached out to CCS via their customer care email, phone, as well as facebook multiple times about these concerns and still have yet to hear back from them. Order took 8 days to arrive from the order confirmation date with free shipping. Came with one sticker and no skateboard tool.

Shipping Comparison:

Both Skateboards were packaged the exact same way and ship from the exact same location containing similar invoices with different logos and color of paper. When you buy it on Amazon you get it significantly faster.

Cost Comparison after taxes:

Purchased via Amazon: $90.51 this price included two stickers and a skateboard tool. There is no way to select a different color of grip tape or change the wheel color.

Purchased via CCS: $89.45 this price included a choice of a few free colors of grip tape and wheels and a sticker. Other customizations cost extra.

Customer Service:

CCS.com: unresponsive

Daddies Boards Shop (Probably also ccs.com) via Amazon: Have not had to contact them regarding the purchase I made through Amazon.

Summary:

I am very happy with the color combination of both skateboards, but if I had to do it again I would buy both through Amazon. I know that should an issue or questions arise Amazon does a great job of making sure the sellers provide answers and resolutions and step in when they don't. For the difference of about $1 that peace of mind just makes sense.

Works great

Have been buying from ccs catalogs since i was a kid. always great service and their branded products are just as good as pro skateboards
