TRENDBOX Roller Skate Plates High-end Skateboard Bearings Drift Board Skateboard with Outdoor Roller Skate Wheels for Beginners

I was worried about getting the metal or wooden deck option, as a bigger guy at 6'2" and 225. The metal ones are great, one day into use. I took to them pretty well for a day 1 and using the JMK Ride tutorials videos. The bearings were also just fine, as a person who's learning to use them still. They were used on a very small sloping parking lot and caught speed well from my first push off.I normally wouldn't write a review so soon but I wanted to comment on the Batman logo thing. It wasn't clear where the logo is on the product from the other reviews but it's on the metal circle that comes through the grip tape and it might as well not be there, for all the difference it makes.The logo is under your foot during use and isnt visible at from a distance. You're going to get looks and comments about this weird form of skate you're using and are probably doing poorly. No one is going to be eagle eyed enough to catch some logo that's hard to see as is and will be under your foot during use. (See the visibility of it up close and a couple feet away in my pictures)Buy these to learn and see if you're interested enough to dive in on some JMK Ride freeskates later.

These are an interesting piece of equipment. They ride a bit like a broken ripstick, and they're a bit weird to get a hang of, but they're a lot of fun. Also they come with a edge projector so you don't splinter your board when you inevitably kick one into a wall.

They work, but your buying what your asking for. These worked and I learned how to skate on them, however they're just cheap. Mine personally came loose overtime and I kept trying to tighten the screw but one day it just fell out when I was riding which made my trucks loose, and I lost the screw. I upgraded to more expensive skates with a cushion and had a easier, faster, and smoother riding experience. I would buy skates with a cushion it makes a world of a difference.

Edited. I was upset at first because these aren’t marked left or right. But I figured out that direction the wheels slant outward corresponds to the foot they go on and I labeled mine accordingly. I think I was also upset because they are hard to use. I knew there’d be a learning curve but these are really difficult. I’m starting to get the hang of it now though. I do think these are good for a beginner pair. The deck is sold maple. The trucks are the right style (not the S curve). And it comes with an edge guard all for a very good price. I’m not sure the wheels are rounded enough and I may swap them out with JMKride wheels at some point (another $40 plus shipping - more than these skates), but I feel like these are good value for the money. If I had given up on this (and I almost did), at least I’d only be out $35. In terms of being able to ride a short distance without falling on my face, I found pushing off from a pole in our concrete basement helped because I could gather speed (which you need to properly ride). I watched some videos where people recommended starting on a slight hill, but that didn’t work for me.

My 9-year-old daughter got these for her birthday and learned how to ride them in 2 days.I think it's unfair to give the product bad reviews just because you can't figure out how to ride them.It's a great product!

The should not be flat they need to be curved so they are easier to move, been using since 2010

Not as pictured exactly. This product came with a logo on the top that has the batman symbol and says batman. For an adult that can be really odd to explain. I bought these because they were plain, not for a batman insignia.

My boys each have a pair and love them. They are both fairly athletic and agile. It took them about half a day to get decent and now, a few months later, they seem to use them as easy as a bike.
