i did rode it in skateparks in Hawaii. in the neighborhood i lived in there was a concrete quarter pipe we used to romp on. after i moved to stafford,va i mainly used it as transportation. for someone under 150 lbs walmart bmx bikes preform no better than 5-600 dollar pro bikes.( aside from being heavy as led xD ) also tho, the frame is thick tube, maybe this is a factor as to how long it has lasted. a thin tube frame might not last as long under stress full conditions when it comes to X-mart bmx bikes. just trying to say, a cheap bike can last a long time if you take care of it.
