> 3 dayRides smooth like you’re on water. I’ve only gotten it up to about 35mph but was amazingly stable & would have been so at higher speed. All this considering it m 6’2” & 185 lbs & I like my trucks loose to carve the terrain. I love this board!

> 3 dayAfter my trusty Sector 9 that I used for about 10 years was stolen I had to look for a replacement but I didn’t want to pay 200-300 for another sector 9 even though it was a great board. The first magneto board I received was defective. Very squeaky and even one layer started cracking all art on the first day of light riding. The customer support team was awesome and quickly let me return for a refund. When the board was back in stock again I ordered again and was very happy with the board. It looks amazing. Probably the coolest looking long board out there. It has the right amount of flex and is just a lot of fun to ride. The wheels and bearings that come standard are just ok but no problem at all for a casual rider like me. Overall great value for the money and a very good customer support team and experience.

> 3 dayWe 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!

> 3 dayHeres 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!

> 3 dayIve 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.

> 3 dayGrip tape qc. They can do better. Bouncy and firm for cracked streets and driveways. If on smooth tarmac whoo ride is like riding on air. Takes getting used to of you are familiar with shorter boards.

> 3 dayAs in almost every other review, the trucks, wheels, and bearings are not very good. The deck, however, is FANTASTIC. Its beautiful, its strong and flexible, and it just feels great. Im 62 and 210lbs and this board holds up very well. Ollies, manuals, downhill...it takes a beating and holds up. The wide board is very comfortable on my long ass feet and the board length provides plenty of space for a wider stance. Im very happy with this board and would definitely purchase another deck from Magneto.

> 3 dayLongtime skater, first time longboader. Just got this board and Ive had it out a few times already. Like others, I had to tighten the screws of the trucks to the board as well as tighten the kingpin. Lots of flex in the board and trucks which is perfect for carving, which is what I wanted it for. It has great response for carving. I may tighten it up a bit more though for more stability. Its not built for bombing hills and not advertised to do so. I will eventually get new wheels and bearings. The ones that come with it are good with the total cost of the board, but I want something a little smoother and to spin a little longer. Overall great board.

> 3 dayThis 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.

Greater than one weekOverall, Im very impressed with this longboard. The deck is a classic pintail cruiser and feels strong and supple, with good craftsmanship and machining, a good amount of flex, and plenty of grip. The provided kit is also solid, with great wheels, decent-quality trucks, and well-tuned bushings. I have only one complaint, which is that the provided bearings are mediocre, but I swapped them out with Bones Super Reds and it rides like a dream now. Whether youre a new rider looking for a good starter board, or a long-time rider who wants a classic cruiser to ride around without paying an arm and a leg for an Arbor, this board is a great buy.
