Good Points
A better one e.g. Abec 3, can have smooth movement and is cheap for first time skaters.
Bad Points
Bad quality deck, can't get a proper pop and quite heavy.
General Comments
I have been skating for little over a month now and have already broken 2 Hudson boards. The first 1 I bought was £15 and lasted 2 weeks but I learnt to ollie on it and it gave me a good start. The second 1 was £25 and was Abec 3 and rode a lot better but the board snapped after a week. I went back to JJB and then bought a new deck for £6 and I have been learning to pop-shuvit on it and it's been fine so far. But I find them to be very annoying when trying to ollie as the board does pop very good and only comes a foot or so off the ground. So overall I would recommend it for someone starting off as it is cheap and you can learn a few tricks on it and then when you come to get an Element, Blind, Birdhouse board etc. You will find it a lot easier.
