> 24 hourIts interesting. I never had a skateboard with grip tape like this. And with just about every skateboard you purchase, you may have to change the wheels or bearings, I happened to change my bearings with reds and its amazing now. Before changing the bearings, it takes a little more work to keep yourself cruising but its manageable if you dont care about that. I was looking for a longboard to cruise and dance with. I have big feet (size12ish 13) and I was afraid to get a product I cant really see. (Sorry about my picture of my feet but hey, I wanted to give reference Lol.) Yes, the product details have its dimensions but you can never be too sure especially when you order online. Ordered it. And its great. Definitely big and wide enough for my large feet and I love the quality of this board! If you doubting this board, well dont, because I doubted it but purchased it and I do not regret it! I provided some photos of the things you would be interested in and hopefully it did some justice.

> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourBought this longboard impulsively for college, and didnt end up using it too much in the daylight because I was scared Id fall in front of people. I currently am using it for a daily work commute of around 3 miles and I love the thing. The only concerning aspect of the board is the flex. The flex does give a smooth ride, however sometimes you will bounce around kinda like youre on a trampoline. This flex also means that when you are standing on the board, the board sags a little, and the board is almost in a U shape while riding it. No matter, I learned how to ride on it, and use it reliably every day and, considering the price, would recommend it to anyone considering picking up the hobby!

> 24 hourIm 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.

> 24 hourThis long board is super fun! My daughter loves it and I (mom) ride it too! Its nice and wide and light weight, which makes it easy for a beginner and more advanced would love it too. It seems like the bearings are a bit tight or not very fast. Its seems like it should go faster. Might need to upgrade bearings. But overall its a great skate board and feels well made!

> 24 hourI have owned a half dozen longboards used to commute to school and work by board. I once worked for a skateshop and have tried many longboards. The Sector 9 Cosmic boards (flexy, fiberglass boards) have been my ride of choice for 15 years or so... until now. The Magneto is now my ride! I bought my son the 38.5 carving Magneto board. I tried it out and enjoyed it so much I bought the 42. While I like the 38.5, Id instead recommend the 42 because it is just as maneuverable, has small kick-tails, and has a better overall feel. Im a pretty big guy, my son is about 90 lbs, and my daughter is about 60 lbs. We all can ride the 38.5 or 42. Pros: - Great for carving! - Smooth ride. The flex in the fiberglass really reduces road vibration! - Stable. The lower center of gravity and the firm/slightly flexy surface makes for a secure feeling surface at high speeds. - Can handle tight turns (if you have the balance) - Nice look and hand-feel of the sanded grip. It also doesnt scrape up your clothes so much while carrying the board. I was not sure how I felt about not having grip tape... now I really like it! - Wheels, trucks, and bearings seem great to me. Im not going to bother replacing them as the gains would only be minor if any. - Strong. I can jump on the board without feeling like itll break. - The price is really reasonable for a premium quality board Cons - I would like a longer kicktail. I use the kicktail on tight turns or while turning while going slow. - It seems to get dings in it easier than my sons cheaper hardwood board. That said, I know they are all going to get beat up with use!

> 24 hourWhen this board came in the mail. I thought how low it was would be a problem and it would scrape a lot, but it actually does not. Plus on top of that the scooter lookin wheels are some of the smoothest wheels I’ve ever ridden on. I changed the bearings tho to bones. Cause the bearings that came with it were not good, but that’s just a minor fix. The board is sturdy. And cuts through rocks like nothing. Just hope no ones directly beside you or they may get a rock to the dome. All in all great board, and trust me keep the weird wheels, just swap the bearings. You will not be disappointed!

> 24 hourI just got the board so i cant yet say for sure how amazing it is but from what i have done with it it is pretty amazing its my second board ever and i got the dancer since im trying to learn more dance oriented tricks so from what i have ridden its pronominal. The turns are smooth the rides like a dream. only problem i had with it was when i got it out of the box after tightening the hardware and everything to how i liked it and rode it was making a squeaking noise when i heel side carved it might just need a few hours of riding to break in. Also it had a line going vertical on the board but it seemed like it was part of the original wood but it looked sealed so i didnt bother reporting it. Otherwise it rides like a dream on my old board the speedometer never even registered now that is says im going 11 mps got me really hype. Overall a great buy highly recommend. oh it is also beautiful.

> 24 hourI was looking for a board that could handle my weight and be stable as I havent been on a board in 13 years and about 50 pounds (and even back then I was an amateur). Since getting it I have been able to practice and I am slowly getting better at it. Great wheels for the very screwed up roads around my area. Easy to adjust everything. Very stable and easy to get the hang of. I highly recommend

> 24 hourI’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.
