> 24 hourthis is very much a budget board. good for someone just starting out learning on a longboard. but its budget in almost every sense of the word. meaning its not good for much other than riding around. which for 95% of riders is going to be enough to dont let it get you down because it cant compete with a 300 dollar landyachtz. What i liked. - the board was lots of cool designs! this is really a plus as im a big fan of good art. it can be a conversation piece when talking to people which can lead to more people getting interested in this sport. or its just nice to look at. - seems reasonably well built. and by that i mean you can ride it around without worrying about it snapping on you or the trucks collapsing during a ride. i am not a heavy rider (170lbs) so i cannot speak for some of the heavier set folks. but for me and anyone lighter than me this is going to be just fine. -the board has a small but useful concave to it. enough that it helps lock your feet in during turns but not so intense that it has your feet getting uncomfortable after a short ride. this is definitely more of a cruiser board. not really meant for any of the more technical types of riding. the grip tape is nice and aggressive to help lock you in, some riders dont like that. this rider does so. its a plus for me. what i maybe didnt like so much. keep in mind these are issues with budget boards as a whole not just junli. - this is a budget board. the bearings are cheap and garbage. and they try to get you by saying its abec rating as if it means something. it means nothing. dont fall for the marketing hype. abec ratings are just for machine tolerances. you could get abec 1s that roll 10x better than an abec 11 from a different company. having said that bearings on budget boards are always crappy regardless so this isnt a junli problem but a problem with pretty much any board under 100 dollars. my advice. slap a set of BONES RED bearings on there and call it a day. which is what i did. - the trucks. a cheap set of aluminum trucks with soft bushings. they are reverse kingpins which are nice but that is the bare MINIMUM a board like this should have. again fine for cruising. but dont expect them to hold up to any kind of technical riding. these are not downhill trucks and will become very unstable at very high speeds. these will not hold up to carving. if you plan on doing anything technical on them. replace them. otherwise they will not hold out for very long. - the wheels. these are 70mm generic soft durometer wheels. these do not slide well. they are much too soft to perform well anywhere close to the limit. but what they do well is that they absorb bumps due to them being so soft. which makes for a smooth ride that beginners tend to appreciate and they offer good grip to increase safety a little bit. dont want them sliding out under you on accident. however, that grip and plush ride comes at a cost. increased rolling resistance. meaning youre going to be pushing more over flat surfaces and up hills. not a huge deal but just keep that in mind if youre trying to pick up speed. at just a cruising rate for short commutes these are fine. and changing them is pretty cost prohibitive. good wheels are pretty expensive ranging around 40-100 dollars for a set so the most cost effective way to improve the ride is to get some new bearings. otherwise youre much better off upscaling to something like a sector 9 board. again these issues are pretty common in most introductory boards. but for the 65 bucks i paid for it? not a bad deal. easy to ride. easy to learn on. good for cruising around town in style. but if you have ANY plans on engaging in more technical forms of riding you will find that you will outgrow this board almost IMMEDIATELY after you get over that learning curve. and if you purchase all the parts you need to make it a legitimately good board youre already in it about as much or MORE as you would be if you had just gone with a better more premium brand to begin with.

> 24 houri am 12 years old and i wanted to get into long boarding. I tried this board today and it was amazing! The riding is so smooth and i felt like the board supported me a lot. if you are someone who snowboards, this board will also feel a lot like it. Definitely recommend this board for anyone who has absolutely no skateboarding or long boarding experience.

> 24 hourI absolutely love it, but it was missing the wrench. I don’t know how to contact the seller. It was not on there, but I do have a 2 year warranty on it. Other than that the longboard cruiser is fun!

> 24 hourGreat longboard for beginners. Bought for my boyfriend. Only complaint is that the wheels and bearings aren’t top quality which means you will have to push more, but that’s expected for a budget board. Overall great purchase and very pleased!

> 24 hourWe ultimately had to purchase three of these long boards to get one that was somewhat good. The first long board ordered came with the labeling backward which is not necessarily a big deal but looks odd. By backward Im talking about when holding the long board with Junli showing upright the picture of the flowers on the bottom side are upside down. Again, not a big deal just looks odd. What is a big deal is the deck of the long board was warped by about half an inch so the board would not sit flat to the ground with all four wheels on the ground. Returned that one and got a replacement. This replacement came with the logo and picture both upright but the deck of the long board was once again warped. So we did yet another replacement. This one was not warped but once again the Junli logo was upright but the picture on the bottom was upside down. Our daughter decided to keep this one since it was not warped. Still really sad that the company cant get quality control set up so they put out a good product.

> 24 hourNice sturdy board that can take the beating of a new learner. Only downside is that the bearings don’t allow you to coast very far.

> 24 hourThis is a good board for beginners, Im sure you can find a cheaper board online but my daughter loves the smoothness of the wheels and trucks, I liked that it came with the adjustment tool for the hardware on the board. I would recommend this board. It is sturdy and will last for a while.
