I got this board because I had never owned an everslick and wanted to try it out. It has outstanding pop. The plastic strado protects the board very well in slides.... however the wood it is made of is very soft, at the first bump (not hard at all) the nose chipped flaking off, which did not happen to me with my previous boards of other brands (Chocolate, Welcome) used even more aggressively.

Bought this for my 7

Bought this for my 7 year old daughter as a serious upgrade to her first board which was just a cheap no name. Her skate instructor says it’s the perfect size for her and is a “great board”. She absolutely loves it and her skate lessons!

Great graphic. This should be

Great graphic. This should be hung on a wall. Great wood. Good size deck. This shape is nice. The nose and tail are more round than pointed. The smaller wheelbase helps with the flip tricks, in my opinion. Make sure to design your grip tape and not just cover the entire top. Add some lines or colors.

I bought this screaming hand

I bought this screaming hand 7.8x 31 for my 4 year old daughter for her first skateboard, she loves it the board it has a good shape nice concave and I love the matte finish. My order came fast and everything was there with no issues. Santa Cruz always has great products

It's obvious that Santa Cruz

It's obvious that Santa Cruz puts out unparalleled products and keeps pushing skating to the next level, no matter the shape or size. From pure, solid ply, symmetric board templates to old school boards with newer concave technology, you can't beat the quality.

NHS produces quality products. I

NHS produces quality products. I have always been satisfied with their Hardgoods and Softgoods. This deck is designed as a wider shape with an agile 14.25 wheelbase. Deck has a traditional wood feel and pop with just enough give but not soggy feeling.

Review of Santa Cruz Screaming Hand Complete Skateboard - 7.8"

My issue is with the trucks that came with my complete skateboard. Complaint below:I recently ordered the Santa Cruz Screaming Hand Complete Deck and experiencing quite a big problem with the Bullet Trucks that came with it. I've attached images to hopefully illustrate the problem I'm experiencing.In particular, the bushings seem to be the root cause as they seemingly "bulged" to one side, and therefore making the board unable to ride in a straight line.Further to this, the bolt fastening the trucks in is proving difficult to fasten/loosen as the actual truck design prevents the skate tool (or ratchet/spanner) from fitting around the bolt. Moreover this has resulted in scratching the bolt, wearing/rounding it down. The amount of resistance the bolt has to ... MoreMy issue is with the trucks that came with my complete skateboard.

Moreover this has resulted in scratching the bolt, wearing/rounding it down. The amount of resistance the bolt has to loosening/fastening is down to a very poor design that does not take into consideration a standard skate tool.I'm disappointed because I'm itching to go out and skate! However, I'm happy to wait until you can provide me with a solution. I'm hoping you can compensate me with either bushings/washer and set of new/stronger bolts in exchange for these faulty ones; or complete set of Bullet Trucks altogether as part exchange for these faulty ones (providing that you can compensate for postage).I look forward to your response,Many Thanks, Matty Ward

Thank You Sooo Much! I

Thank You Sooo Much! I bought this for my 8 year old Grandson that has ADHD I have bought him and his parents have also Lots of thing to keep him busy after about half hour if even that his done, wanting to do something else, grant it he is very good at baseball and sports like that. He Has Not put the Board down since it arrived! This makes the whole family so Happy! I made sure I bought the Best one out there, we have told him your story. I cant thank you enough for Fast delivery and Making Such Awesomeness' for my Grandson.

This board I put the

This board I put the grip on the next day, and I noticed that I did such a well job on the grip. So I hung it up for about a week or so and I took it down today and put my independent trucks on this board. They fit perfectly and the board is now at tall and I have not yet to ride it. I love to ride my power board instead. But this deck is great and nose and tail are still in perfect condition out here where it's all burnt out. I can't wait to ride at the skate park. The end of last year I had surgery. So I'm taking my time to ride this deck and I think I'm coming close to dropping in and it's been awhile. It has a fine finish and looks like it was sanded down and then the graphic. Both this board and my power have this nice matte finish and the graphics are awesome. ... MoreThis board I put the grip on the next day, and I noticed that I did such a well job on the grip.

I want to say thank you to nhs because they have the size chart and stuff it seems like they know what they are doing. I was actually looking at the continals they had and cylinders for my trucks because at first when I tried independent trucks they had the continals. But now I have the independent trucks and now I have cylinders. So maybe that will be the next thing that I order and try different ones. Idk maybe next month. Some real skateboard stuff from nhs!!!

This deck has a great

This deck has a great shape for tech flip tricks, the VX tech makes the board noticeably thinner, lighter, and no doubt stronger. Plus, Asta is my favorite skater and I’m happy to support him and ride his gear. I also have the Asta colorway Swift 1.5’s, the combo works and feels great!
