I love the look and feel of this board. It’s got good flex and a smooth ride. The stock bearings aren’t horrible, but I switched them out for Bones reds anyway. The only drawback has been the appearance of some stress cracks down the top of the board. I’ve only had it for about a month, and I don’t ride it too hard, so I’m a little disappointed.

Im new to longboarding and Ive only had it for a week now but so far so good. At 220 pounds I was a bit worried about it holding my weight but it seems to be fine, no real flex in the board. A few skater friends said the bushings seemed a bit loose and when I tried to tighten them they popped out from under the washers, so I bought some yellow Nipple bushings and they seem to be fine. Ill update as I use the board more. Edit: 7/30/2017 Im down to 197 lbs and loving this board. Still keeping the 5 stars but its worth noting the trucks need to be tightened down a lot when you get it. I skated for a month before I realized my mistake and you can feel the difference. Also if the board gets wet youre going to need to re-tighten things when it dries.

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.

Heres the bottom line folks: Buy this board if you like a minimal or classic style. I pride myself on doing inhuman amounts of research over products I aim to buy and this board fit my billet more than any other. Rest assured that if you have any doubts or worries or issues in the process or once you have this board, Magneto Boards will be there to help you. If you care to read my story, here you go: I purchased this board and received it in a week on a Friday. a bit long for Amazon standards but what the hay, that just added to my anticipation. It was however, much to my dismay that I would open my package and find that the paint of my new board was chipped! Thoroughly inspecting revealed that this was not a shipping mar but a manufacturing defect (see my picture). In these situations though, you have to take a breath and realize that no one is perfect. Mistakes DO HAPPEN and that is OK! ...of course though being a first world consumer, it was my obligation to seek rectification. That very Friday night I sent out a message directly to the seller and promptly the very next morning I was greeted with a friendly response engaging me about the nature of my complaint and offering me solutions to remedy it. Magneto Boards offered solution was beyond generous and honestly surprised me that over the internet they could make me feel like they were a friendly local business that I had known since I grew up. It is now the very next Tuesday and I await the arrival of my replacement board tomorrow! I only wish I could have had the name of the person that helped me that I could mention them in this post. Happy riding!

So this is a pretty decent board for the price range. Solid grip, the trucks have good turn radius on them and I love the simplicity in the style. My only issue is the bearing aren’t that smooth. It doesn’t glide as long as I’d like for the amount of push I give. But that’s something I can easily fix. And I shouldn’t complain too much about a complete deck for so cheap. It’s a great starter board or just one for cruising around the neighborhood.

Exactly as promised. Great deck, trucks, wheels, and bearings. I wanted a cruiser board for riding the asphalt trail a few miles to downtown. Great for me.

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!

Retiring an old handmedown Loaded drop through deck, and this is honestly so light and reactive to the riders directional control that, paired with Sidewinder trucks and good ceramic bearings, taking even some of the tightest turns becomes reasonable. Light as hell, feels like youre floating

This longboard is super easy to ride! Maybe that is just the nature of longboards, but I am a true beginner and I found it very easy to push and turn the board. PROS: - Riding on rough asphalt is nice and smooth. You can still pick up speed pretty easily and the wheels absorb a lot of the shock from the road. - The grip on the deck is good and not too grabby. - The design of the board is top notch. - The bearings seem to be pretty good. CONS: - The trucks are really loose out of the box. I tightened them and they still have a lot of play in them. I’ll try tightening them all the way and see if that helps. - The kicks are relatively small. If you are new to longboards(like me), it will seem like you need a good amount of force to kick the board up. Definitely not as easy as a regular skateboard. All in all, this is a pretty good board for a beginner. You will automatically feel confident after hopping on the board for the first time and rolling without falling off the board. On a side note the deck has plenty of flex. I’m 215lbs and get a lot of flex from the deck. My daughter is about 75lbs and only gets a little flex from the board. But it is probably still enough flex to carve effectively. Final evaluation: The board is worth buying. You’ll be pleased.

Im very new to longboarding and this is the only one Ive ever been on so take that into consideration. I really like this board. It came with a tool to adjust the responsiveness of the trucks. Once loosened up it is very easy to turn. Im right around 200lbs and it holds me just fine. The only reason I am not rating it higher is that theres a very noticeable defect in the grip tape application. It doesnt bother me at all but it is worth noting if you are super picky. Ive already ordered a second board based on how much fun this one is. Recommended.
