(Ad - Gifted) The Tony Hawk SS 540 Wasteland Complete Skateboard - Review!

Ellie loves the idea of skateboarding, all the cool boys skateboard and she has always wanted a skate board of her own but it's one of those things that we have never got around to buying. She's had a go on her friends skate boards and loved them. It was something we had thought about getting her for Christmas until the lovely people from Skates.co.uk got in touch.

I think the only thing I know about skateboarding is that Tony Hawk is one and a good one at that. Now you can follow in his footsteps with the Tony Hawk Skateboard range. Moderately priced to be affordable for beginners, the Tony Hawk skateboards are stylish with their unique designs and are proving to be very popular with his legions of fans worldwide.

The Tony Hawk SS 540 Wasteland Complete Skateboard - 31.5" x 8" is part of the 540 series from Tony Hawk and is considered the next step in skateboarding once you've started learning tricks. Once you're ready for the next challenge step up to the plate with the awesome 540 series from the main man himself, Tony Hawk!

Features:

Deck : 7 ply 100% Hardrock maple with full OS780 griptape
Truck : 5.25” Heavy duty aluminium truck with PU 95a bushing
Wheel : 54mm 99A PUC wheel
Bearing : Abec 5
Length: 31.5" x 8"

Like I said I know nothing about skateboards so I don't know if the features are amazing but from what we've seen of it we love it. This skateboard is perfect for Ellie to learn on, she has been watching YouTube videos of basic tricks and can flip it while stood on it and other basic things and has slowly got the hang of pushing herself along on it.

Considering the size of it, it is quite light and Ellie has no problem picking it up and using it. It is made well, it's solid but at the same time bends to be able to turn and we love the design on the bottom. Ellie hasn't been brave enough to go out of the garden yet but she is getting there, building her confidence. In my opinion this is a great skate board for beginners.

We are lucky to have a couple of little slopes on the paths in our garden which she has been doing up and down. I've said she can go to the skate park when she has learned to brake properly. We should get there during the summer holidays. I will be going with her to make sure she doesn't get over confident. Eek!

Ellie has spent more time outside in the back garden over the past week than she has in the the past 3 months thanks to the skateboard. She's been having great fun and is getting some exercise too.

Of course Ellie usually does wear knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards and a helmet when she is on the skateboard. She didn't just for these photos.

At the moment this skateboard is on sale for £44.95 down from £54.94 and can be bought from the Skates.co.uk website.

We were sent the The Tony Hawk SS 540 Wasteland Complete Skateboard free of charge in exchange for this blog post.
