has anyone ever used one of these i have been offered one really cheap and wanted to get people opinion first (i am a beginner by the way)

Just read four quick reviews on racekites, all positive.
The gist seems to be that it doesn't have much pop or flex, but is good for a beginner on a budget.

How cheap is "really cheap"? if you don't mind (as it is an older version), and is there any chance of you trying it out before you commit to buying it?

Yup, I'd agree with the review comments Anneski pulled out, I've riden one on occasion and seen them about quite a bit, they do the job perfectly well for a beginner, as long as your not excessively tall (ie have an unusually wide stance) or have larger than average feet (people with 11/12s or bigger may struggle because of the proximity of the wheels).

Other than that its a reasonably solid board that'll get you going, and you can always upgrade the deck at a later time to a trampa etc. if you felt like it.

thanx guys its new in the wrapper never been used, mate got it a while back of his parents, was never interested so its been stuck in his cupboard.
he says i can have it for 30 quid, is that reasonable

omg that's an absolute steal

Nope its way too expensive,i'll give him 20 for it though :angel: :rolleyes: , nah thats an extremely insanely good price, second hand ones will fetch £50 or so being used a bit... so as new...
