Is a real skateboard easier to do tricks with than a fake 1?

Question

for example( a skateboard from target vs Plan B skateboard)

Answer 1

Never buy a cheap one. A good quality on like plan B would be better than a target brand. I mean come on, are you kidding me?

let me break it down,

Cheap = crappy grip tape that is just glue and sand. Heavy. The bearings wont roll. It will break. Plastic Trucks and wheels.

Answer 2

yes the griptape on a real skateboard would help you alot more than a target skateboard like on fake skateboards i can barely do tricks and ive been skating for 3 years  

Answer 3

ill have to ask my bro on that he skat boards

Answer 4

It depends on skill level of the person.  I am just as good on a Walmart board as I am on a real skateboard.  I can also heelflip a 46 inch long longboard.

Answer 5

ya a fake skateboard tends to be heavier then a real brand such as Habitat, Element, and zoo york. So yes a real brand would be easier to do ricks because the board tend t be lighter...Also the real brands use a wood that is lighter and not as dense but yet still as strong.

Answer 6

my brother skateboards and he used to use like a cheap walmart board and it was horrible. The fake ones are too heavy and the grip tape is bad. The wheels on fake boards are alson really really bad.

My brother now uses a "real"  board [thats a brand of skateboards btw]

and an "almost" board. Recently he bought a helium bam margara board but said its a bit heavy. So yes real skateboards are easier to use. Sorry this is so long.
