Deck-alright
Truck-no(Thunders,Ventures,Krux,Royal)
bushing-don't know
wheels-good
Bearings-Great
my full review
actually, It would seem smarter to rough it out with a mediocre setup until you feel fully committed to skateboarding and know you will stay, instead of churning cash out for an awesome setup that could become a waste.

Completely agree with Globe, but how hard are the bushings?

get different trucks and you should be good
its so friggin hard to find a truck for 7.5 decks(4.75 in size)

It doesn't have to be an exact size match
Thunders 145 or Krux 3.0's should be good size wise.
Same with independent 129's or Venture's 5.0 those should be good for 7.5-7.75

dude the bearings are the only good thing on that board. if you end up hating to skateboard, keep those suckers for anything else in the future, or sell them for some cash...

Deck - 2.5/5
Truck - 1/5
Bushing -2/5
Wheels - 2.5/5
Bearings -4/5
*1-5 rating scale*
The board is alright for a beginner, but I'd suggest getting another deck/ and trucks. The bearings are fine though.

The bearings would get atleast 4.5/5?
Almost to good for a begginer.
