Magneto Bamboo Carbon Fiber Longboards Skateboards for Cruising, Carving, Free-Style, Downhill and Dancing | Kicktails Tricks Carver Drop Through | Great for Teens Adults Men Women

PROS: The riding is so smooth and it comes ready to ride right out of the box. What I love about this board is that it is high off the ground due to the risers they put in with the trucks of the board and how quickly it can cut and carve around things. It is also super steady when pushing off the ground and it is great for both bombing hills or just cruising around. The length and design of the board are also very nice because its not too short nor too long and its deck is stable while riding downhill. CONS: There was only one minor dent in the tip of the board when it arrived to my house due to shipping and handling but it wasnt a big deal since I figured I was gonna put some more dents and scratches on it eventually anyways. Another thing is that the wheels and bearings dont roll for very long so you might have to loosen up your wheels or change your bearings for more riding and less pushing. Last thing is that this board can cut and carve super fast and easily if you have the trucks loosened up but if you are planning on going downhill please tighten the trucks to make it more stable or else you will wreck like I did.

I ordered this as my first board and fell in love with it. This board is great for beginners, its a solid board that looks great. Overall im happy with it. The only thing I was not happy about was the bearings and bushings. Im a bigger guy, I replaced the bushings with a stiffer Divine bushings right away which changed the feel of the board instantly. The stock bearings are okay but definitely not great. I switched those with a Bronson G2 bearing. The overall feel of the board with the new bushings and bearing changed dramatically.

Love my new board! Had some questions and costumer service got back to me immediately and went above and beyond. Some of the best costumer service ever! Extremely happy with the board and the company.

Everything looks awesome I got it today cant wait to ride it this weekend but as soon as I got on it after unpacking I heard a pop, seems like one of the screws was overtighten , doesnt seem like a biggie, hopefully the crack wont get any bigger , but I thought I should point it out

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.

I wanted to wait before I made a review on this board....or as thoroughly as I could, and since its been a few months, I think its about time to do a review. Okay. This board was my first downhill board. Ive rode it not only down a few hills, but also to commute back and forth when I was working. At first, I thought that the mixture of bamboo, carbon fiber, and fiberglass made the board too flexy for me, but after not riding it for a few months, their wasnt as much flex as I thought. There is flex, but because of the mixture of carbon fiber and fiberglass counteracting it, it oddly makes it perfect to bomb down hills and do some deep carving. I compared it with the arbor longboard and love riding the Magneto Longboard more because of the W concave and how its helped me feel where my feet are on the board and how to keep my balance when pushing, how I dont have to move my feet that much, and how perfect the distance between the trucks and my feet were [I dont like having my feet under the trucks. It makes it very unstable and uncomfortable when Im riding and pushing.] I had to change the trucks and wheels to Caliber 44 degree trucks and shark wheels since they trucks were too high to my liking, and since where I live, it rains and has a lot of roads that have small rocks dirt and stuff, I wanted to be more safe and the road [as safe as I can be anyway]. To anyone who wants to buy the magneto board, I would say buy it. You can still ride it down hills with or without changing the set up, but if you really want to rip down hills and not worry about speed wobbles, then you might need to either change the hardware or change the bushings to riptide or venom bushings. All in all, awesome longboard and I would buy it again if I needed to buy another one.

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

I 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!

My husband has not been on a skateboard for 30+ years. We took this to the park and he did great no issues at all. The only disappointment was the wheels looked orange in the picture and when we got the board they were red.

At first I thought the bearings and wheels were complete junk. But I loosened all the axle nuts about a quarter turn and that freed up all the wheels a lot. They spin much better now. I had written a negative review prematurely, so Im here to edit it now. Okay, compared to another longboard I have with regular wheels, this one doesnt seem any faster, and is slightly less comfortable. It doesnt turn as well either. I bought it for one reason--low rolling resistance and, therefore, higher speed. It should do that, but again, it feels no faster than my other board. The larger and thinner wheels should make it faster. Maybe someone could do a more careful test of that than Ive done, which is just me using my impression as the sole evidence. Havent had any problems with it otherwise.
