Atom Drop Deck Longboard - 39 Inch

The board has a grey surface layer (The rough sandpaper-like top that you stand on.) that is not bonded to the solid board surface at the narrow part of one of the curves at the ends of the board. It looks as if there is an airpocket, 2-3 incheswide, and there is a wide gap of 1inch opening between the two layers where the material is stretched flat above the board surface instead of being bonded to the surface following the contour of the board. My husband wants to just try to glue and clamp it himself, but I doubt that would be very durable. I requested a replacement. decribing the defect. The replacement arrived promptly in two days on a Sunday which was excellenct customer service. The second board has this exact same defect even more pronounced than did the first board. Other than this one deal breaker defect, it is exactly what my son wanted and otherwise is as described on the website. He loves the design and style and quality and it is just so frustrating for him to keep waiting for a non-defective one well let him keep. We still want this board IF we can be provided with one without this defect. How might we be able to resolve this with the company? I see no other way to try to reach them other than to post this comment.

Very stable board and my 9 year old son is loving it. He still has some learning, but this board really makes it easy.

My first long board and currently my only one. Compared to my friends of the same price range the bearings and overall build is much better. Im personally not a fan of how tall and skinny it feels but thats more of my own problem. All in all its a great board for the price.

I love this board! Amazing quality for the price. Great turning radius (al long as you loosen the trucks enough) and wheel bite is virtually impossible! The wheels are a tad soft, meaning sliding isnt the best as it would tear up the wheels (you could always put harder wheels on). But that also means the wheels are great for cruising as they roll right over bumps and cracks very easily. The ABEC-9 bearings are very good and will allow the board to roll about 20-30 feet per kick on flat landscape. The only cons: The trucks squeak a tad on wood and carpet, but on concrete or asphalt you cant hear it. The bottom colors are also deceiving, the brown and the green are darker and more subtle then in the picture. Overall, amazing board for the price. You can buy reds bearings but I dont think it would make much of a difference. Just a tip for wheel tightness: Tighten wheels all of the way then un tighten 1/4th of a turn for best performance. Also, beware of going off curbs, as if you allow the bottom to scrape the curb it will scratch off some paint.

My boys have enjoyed cruising this longboard and it seems well made. My only complaint is that about a month after getting it the grip tape started to come up at the bends in the front and back. We live in Wyoming, not sure if the dry climate has anything to do with it. Still a great board, just need to buy more grip tape.

Got this board to teach my GF how to ride. Nice big deck, and the drop deck adds that stability she needs. Even the bearings are holding up which I did not expect.

Awesome long board. Rides smooth and the trucks are nice, you just have to loosen them a little bit. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and anyone wanting to buy a longboard. Great price along with great quality. Only thing that caught me off guard was the color of the deck its much much darker, almost a black color, but I like it more :)

Great Board! Riding again after a long time and this board is just the ticket to cruise around on. Smooth ride and easy to turn, i recommend this board for sure!!

Best board for the price. The drop deck makes you feel stable while on the board. I grew up riding skateboards and this board brings back all those good memories. Only thing I would change on it are the bearings i immediately ordered some bones reds along with it and it made a huge difference.

My son loves it
