The Element Icon Gray is a 31x7.75-inch complete popsicle skateboard designed for beginners and riders of all skill levels, supporting up to 220 lbs. Ideal for kids aged 8 and up, teens, and even adults, it features a classic shape perfect for flip tricks, cruising, and street skating.
Standout elements include the 7-ply North East maple deck for strength and pop, medium concave for stable landings, Geo Lite 5-inch trucks for responsive turns, 51mm 95A urethane wheels for smooth acceleration and grip, and ABEC 5 bearings for faster speeds. Users praise its sturdiness as a first board, with smooth rides and good control right out of the box.
Build quality shines in the high-density wood and pro-style grip tape, offering confidence on ramps or pavement. While the deck receives consistent acclaim for its concave and durability, some note the trucks have minor cracks and wheels feel basic, often swapped by experienced skaters.
Minor drawbacks like truck quality do not detract from its value for entry-level shredders. Overall, this Element board delivers reliable performance for learning and fun, earning high marks as an affordable complete setup.
