We got this board for my 6-year-old, who LOVES his older brothers longboard and really wanted one. Its clearly high quality and you can tell it will wear extremely well over the years (my older son has a different brand longboard, handed down from an uncle, thats 20 years old and perfectly worn in--you can tell that this board will be the same). It took a few days for the wheels to loosen up, but now my son goes up and down the street with his brother and is so excited about his early birthday present!

This is my first long board and I had much hesitation buying the board online. I received the board very well packaged and it works great for a beginner longboard. The bearing that came with the board are not the best they do not roll very freely. I changed them out for Bones Big Ball bearings and the performance increased. I then changed the wheels and the trucks to Gullwing Chargers and the board is just an awesome board that rolls and turns real nice. I have a lot of fun with it. The board is great for the price I Think Magneto could provide better bearings for the same price of the board and it would be perfect the way it comes.

Was really good in the beginning. I rode it for about half an hour and the bearings froze up on me. I can still ride the board, just that the bearings are not as smooth as when I first hopped on it. Definitely should have just ordered replacement bearings from bones at the same time as buying the board. Beautiful wood and bamboo

Where to start.... I was looking for a board for heavy riders, I’m 5’10” 245. Did some research and after reading reviews I picked this board. Most, if not all, the reviews you read are sponsored by the company, you get a free shirt for 5 star review. And you can get the same longboard online from magneto website by looking “longboard bamboo “ on google for $30 less then amazon. And if you try and return the board, you have to pay shipping and that is gonna run you about $30 -$45 The board came in about 3 days. Looks good out the box. Box was a little damaged, but the the kicks came with foam taped to them. The board was tight, trucks were tight, and wheels to tight to kick and cruise without a lot of effort. After I loosened up the trucks it was easier to carve. and the bearings I loosened up but it wasn’t enough til I cleaned them and lubed them with ceramic oil from Bronson bearings co. They roll better for sure but I still replaced them and eventually the wheels because they are horrible. I used soap shavings on the bushings and pivot cup to help with some squeaking I keep Hearing. Even my 10 yr old daughter and 140 pound girlfriend still make the board squeak. Over all, I’m not satisfied with this board. To learn on get a retrospect longboard, valador or quest longboard for cheaper. This board has amazing flex but squeaks crazy. The wheels are not the best and tbh probably the worst I’ve ridden. I upgraded the bearings with heady shake speed bearings, and the wheels with orangatangs cuguamas for a better ride. But for that price I could have just got a landyachtz or sector 9 board

I am rather new at skateboarding and this board has been a great help in learners the ropes. In my first day of riding my board in the city, it survived getting run over by a big Ford Truck so for bamboo, it’s pretty durable. The stock wheels are fine but need to be loosened up a little out of the box so that you can have a decent roll. Overall I’m satisfied with the board and am looking forward to using it more and improving over time.

Board is really nice and has great construction of board itself. Trucks could be a little more responsive. Company sent board in timely manner but did not send truck tool that was supposed to come with it like posting said. The little things like sending what is supposed to come with me hat I paid for will make me not order again from this company.

Im a 49 year old guy and I dont have any kids. So I decided to teach my red heeler (Bailey) to skateboard. This board is perfect for that. Bailey likes the grip tape. Too much fun can scuff her paws though, so I always suggest that your dog wear protective booties-- if your pets show an interest in skateboarding. I thought I was too old to skateboard, but shes let me borrow it a few times. Super smooth ride. Also, when Bailey wears a harness, I will let her pull me through a grass field on this. These wheels go over grass and bumps no problems. I think off-road, dog-pulled skateboarding should become a thing. This thing is a lot of fun. Its fast and its probably not a good first board, but its pretty great if you want to ride on just about any surface.

Im new to skating, specifically cruising and I gotta say this board was easy for me to ride. I started off with a 27.5 mini cruiser and found it to be to small. im a 6ft 190lbs man so I needed something bigger and wider so I can feel more stable. I ordered the 38 by 9 magneto board and it was perfect. The Magneto packaging is good, nice and compact, and the board is pretty much ready for use right out the box. I did listen to a couple of reviews about checking all the bolts to make sure nothing is loose and had to tighten the trucks a little and the bushings (optional depending on how tight you like them). Other than that, the board is nice and easy to ride. PS: The quality of the bearings and wheels seem fine to me but I am a beginner and this is my first longboard so I dont really have much to compare. Update: 9/27/18 So ive had this board for about 2 weeks now and I learned a lot since then. I bought some new bearings (heady shake) and right away felt the difference. I also bought new wheels (bigfoot mountain cruisers) which are bigger and harder (76mm, 80a verses the stock 70mm, 78a) and it made the board faster and smoother. Now I can comfortably say that the stock bearings are decent and worth upgrading considering theyre cheap to buy. As for the wheels, if you want to ride faster, id recommend buying some bigger wheels that are a little harder. Still dont know enough to have a firm opinion about the trucks/bushings but they seem good to me.

I’m giving this complete 3/5 for several reasons. First, know that you get what you pay for, so the value is there and is excellent as a first dancer. The main drawbacks are the components. The trucks are not precisely made and not as responsive as $50+ ones. This includes the bushings that are poorly molded. The bearings don’t roll as fast as others, so pushing off won’t get you as far as better ones. The wheels quickly take a bite, but are decent for what they are. As far as the board, I which they had placed the grip on the tails and sides only, like the higher end longboards so feet movement will be smoother. The board is also on the heavy side so doing kicks and spins take more effort. On the positive side, the board holds up well to weight. It does cruise well and feels like a Buick of longboard riding, but not a Cadillac or Corvette. For under $160 after taxes, you’re not going to get better.

Ive been longboarding only for about 3 months and I only really longboard on campus to get to classes faster. My first board was a hand me down (Wiisham if you must know) and in comparison to Magneto, it was so much effort with a lot more pushing. I can cruise for so far with just one push and its sturdy -- I dont really fear pebbles or sticks, I just roll over them. However, when I go fast downhill, it gets wobbly? And then I fall. Im just a beginner so maybe its technique. Also note I didnt change the bearings, trucks, or wheels. Its an amazing complete board in my opinion.
