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

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 have always had a longboard. But I have gotten the cheap just wood on wheels board before but this is life changing. As a bigger guy it’s hard to find a board that works. 6’2” and 235 lbs, this is an amazing board that holds its shape and rides so smooth. The wheels are amazing compared to what I have had in the past. I havnt fallen yet where with the other boards I would fall on every rock I saw. 10/10 would recommend

Rides 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!

Longboard works as expected. Could us better quality bearings. Other than that look and board is very good.

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

Very flexible and reliable. Really good for sharp turns and the cool design adds some swag to it!!

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.

I turned 45 last month, and Ive always been intrigued by longboarding. So I pulled the trigger after I found this company. Im glad I did! Beautifully built longboard, that was fun right out of the box. Magneto Boards are built to look good as you can see, and so far Id say they are also built to be sturdy. Im 61 190lbs and the Hana Pintail feels like its solid under me. I may stiffen up the trucks when Im ready for bigger hills, but on flats and little declines, its ready to go right away. 5 of 5 would recommend... highly recommend. Ill buy more from Magneto as they have boards in stock!

Love this board, use it to take the dog on runs. Smooth as glass on the road and sidewalks. I did put some reds in it since I had them but the ones it came with weren’t bad. Actually saved them for later.

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.
