The deck is kind of good. Wheels are freaking giant. I got the united skates skateboard and after 2 hours the truck snapped after i tried to do an ollie.

United Skates - All in all for £20 there's not much wrong with it but compared to the better boards it's pop is rubbish, the deck wood is soft, the trucks are wonkey, the bearings are ok if kept clean and the wheels are soft. Alright for a begginer setup.

Everything on the United Skates board i.e. wheels deck etc are wide...fat!
>The trucks are wonky...Even when I took them off and put them back on.
>No pop...can't get decent ollies...or kickflips or anything:(
>Way overpriced, boring to ride.
>Can anybody recommend a decent upgrade for my united skates board? pleeese.

I got a United Skates board. It was heavy, it was thick, the trucks were rubbish, the bushings broke in 2 days, the wheels were rubbish, the bearings were very slow. My friend recently got a United Skates longboard. It was heavy, the trucks were alright, the bushings were pretty rubbish, there were no wheel wells so wheelbite was common, the trucks (now this is unforgiveable) were mounted wonky on the deck causing the board to always turn right. Now thats just poor workmanship.

Where to start!. The decks are too wide, thick, and heavy. the kingpin sticks out so you can't grind. the wheels are too chunky, and the graphics totally such!!!
They only cost like £30, but I wouldn't buy another one(buy an ELEMENT, or FLIP).

Its heavy,its wide, the deck is thick, the wheels are huge and the trucks are rubbish!!!Every time you tighten the trucks the hanger moves down and the kingpin sticks out! also the deck delaminates easily and gets preassure cracks, and while i'm at it, the bearings are slow and are made even slower by the wheels rubbing on the bottom of the deck!...oh yeah the grip wears out in no time, But if you are a beginner it is probably the best thing to buy so you can make your mind up if you even like skateboarding!

United skates decks are good for beginners gut otherwise, rubbish.
<br>I have been doing kick flips and the trucks are about to fall off.
<br>The deck is too thick and chips too easily,
<br>Wheels are thick but are ideal for burning,
<br>Trucks fall off,
<br>Absolute rubbish.

The 'United Skates' boards are not too fab, but what can you expect for a £30 complete. I would not recommend them to anyone who is interested in taking up skateboarding as a hobbie, BUT! If you just fancy a skateboard you can store away and use every now and then, then this is the board for you.

United skates boards are very good for the price
<br>and are very good for people who are just learning
<br>to skate but overall i would say its a good board
<br>and a lot better than eg hudsons

I have had a united skates board for 1 year and i really like it. i think they are very very cheap for what they are because they should be worth alot more money. anyone who has never had a united skates board and believe they are rubbish, you are very wrong. Get one yourself and you'll understand.

Come on! ok the wheels and bearings are fine but i snapped my United Skates deck in two weeks!!! I'd recently snapped my blank R1 deck and needed a backup so i saw one for 30 quid. you could hear the boards cry for help every time you ollie a stairset until, after two weeks, it gave up the ghost.
