Atom Drop Deck Longboard - 39 Inch

havent touched a board in thirty years therefore i relied on the reviews and i am NOT disappointed, i love this thing. took it out the first day i got it a properly strained my achilles tendon because i just couldnt stop as i was having so much fun on it. took bout half hour to adjust the trucks(you want the on the loose side for beginners and old people(like me @49) returning to the sport. it cruises very nicely and i like the drop down deck as it feels more stable to me than the conventional design. the only thing that is different from the picture you see is the green color on the bottom of the board, it is nit the bright green you see, but a dark sage green, which is fine, still a very pretty board. the weeks are on the softer side and absorbed small rocks easily. carry a 9/16 wrench with you on your first ride to adjust the trucks to your riding style and experience. i am now training my 90kg Boerboel to pull me around UPDATE: WTF! bought this thing for 120 dollars now you are selling it for 79 dollars, WTF?!!!!!!! now i hate this thing

not my 1st skateboard so opened and started to take it apart so I can change to a colored grip tape and found a Crack in the nose on the painted side so was visible will see if it holds up but otherwise seems decent quality for the price have to see if the Crack opens up with hard riding

This is my very first Atom longboard, arrived well packed, looks shiny, when I opened and remove plastic bags I realized that it has some paint issues at the bottom as you can see in picture 3. then I found some scratches as you can see in picture 4. This product looks good so far, Im gonna be testing this weekend, comes with some instructions on how to tight trucks. Im happy with this purchase I have to be honest the scratched side and paint issue makes a 4 stars for this products. as a customer I always expect new product, intact from every inch and quality of the product. Give you the opportunity to have an Atom longboard and please be careful when you receive lookng for some imperfections that could have.

Muy buena a mi hijo le encanto!!

I have had the board for about 40 hours total so far. As a 210 lb man who is a beginner at longboarding, this thing fully supports my weight, looks cool, and rides really smooth. The drop down design of the deck makes balancing way easier than my standard cruiser longboard (which is why bought it). The deck, trucks, and wheels seem to be of good quality. I did end up loosening the wheels a little and tightening up the trucks, but it was still perfectly rideable as it came in the box. Definitely recommend to any heavier skaters/beginners looking for good balance and a smoother ride.

i think this is my first board and i all i had to do was change the barrings and wheels. i have great control over the board when riding, i love the board happy i got it. =p

I am a 45yr old man who hasnt skated in 25 years. Did my research online for a week trying to pick out the best board to cruise neighborhoods, walking paths, and to just have some fun on. This was it! Supports my 185lb weight very well. Turns easy and is fast! Just had to loosen the wheels a little out the box. Very happy with my purchase.

I fell

I have a teenager and this was perfect for him beginning to skateboard its a great quality product.

This is my first longboard. I was looking for a stable board for cruising and carving around my neighborhood streets and trails and this board is perfect. Not having a kick tail took some getting used to but I knew that going in. The drop is low so its very stable on downhills and with some speed, make sure you adjust your trucks accordingly. I have not tried big hills or anything above 20 mph yet, my trails and roads are smooth so the wheels are fine as long as you keep your speed, i noticed at slower speeds the wheels catching on pebbles that my 65mm Sector 9 Nine ball wheels i have on my Madrid Cruiser rolls over no problem. If you want to slide easily, youll want to change the wheels. The Area 51 wheels are for more grip than sliding with their sharper less beveled edges. I did upgrade the bearings to Reds and the wheels rolled significantly faster and made for more efficient cruising. Im 510 185 and the deck feels solid and plenty stiff if you are looking for a sliding board. The money saved on this set up, with a truck and wheel upgrade you would have an awesome sliding board. At some point, I plan to get to Caliber trucks and Orangatang Stimulus wheels but for now Im Really happy with my Dark Tiki board!!
