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

Overall, 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.

This is a killer board and it’s actually a really good setup for the price, I’ve seen some reviews of people getting a lemon here and there but the one I got has made me pretty happy so far and I have no complaints other than I’m no longboard dancer and it’s weird to have that much deck space but that’s what I got it for, something new to try. It’s a good board to see if you aren’t sure and the kids will love it because they can all fit haha

Update (5/21/17) After a month of using this board, I really feel like its the best cruising board I have. Its really stable and it grabs my feet well. I can go over some pretty big cracks and bumps without it suddenly changing direction (which is really important because I ride with my right foot towards the back) The stock wheels and bearing are still smooth. Occasionally, I have to tighten the truck mounting screws. Magneto Bamboo Longboard (not the carbon one) This is a great board for cruising around trails and exploring the town. Its rock solid, not too bouncy, and very very stable while providing a decently tight turn radius. It gives a bit if you bounce one it - but my 180lbs doesnt bend it more than an inch. It feels nearly unbreakable. I dont think Ill be replacing the trucks/wheels with anything, the stock ones are very very nice. Im impressed at the quality of this board -- its beautiful to look at and it rides like a cloud. If I turn the board hard, the turning radius doesnt allow me to completely do a u-turn on my residential USA street...Its close, but I always end up in the shoulder and in the grass.

This is the first time I am trying a bamboo drop-through, and I must say I am thoroughly impressed by what Magneto put together. The sleek look is not the only thing. The hardware right out of the box feels sturdy with high quality components without any inkling of cheapness found from one end of the board to the other. After a minimal amount of tightening of the wheels and baseplate, I took it out for a test spin. Maybe Im just used to stiff boards, but the first thing I noticed was the generous amount of flex the board allows as well as the buttery smooth handling of the trucks - giving a very comfortable and responsive ride. I think Im in love. I cant stop smiling when cruising and carving on this thing. Looking forward to many more miles with it.

Im 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.

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!

I have had this board for almost half a year now and I have to say that it holds up really well with everything you throw at it! PROS Cruises very smoothly and requires less effort for a longer ride per push compared to other boards Ive rode. Stock turning capability is perfect for beginners and advanced riders. Easily take sharp turns and sliding. More professional riders would have to tune the board to their liking (which they should know how to do). The grip is no joke, no catastrophes or mistakes were made because of the grip. Could get tricky if the deck is very very wet though. CONS If you use it often there might be a inconvenience that may occur. After 5 months of moderate to heavy use I noticed a rattle coming from the wheels I think. I have yet to know if this is an easy fix or not because Im not sure how to tinker with boards quite yet. All in all, solid board for the price. It would be nearly perfect if the price was cut by 10 or 15 bucks, but still, a very good board to put on your list and compare to others.

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!

This 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.

Great board for looks and functionality. Allows you to go long distances comfortably (longest I have gone is 10 miles in one ride) AND allowed for easy control on big long or steep hills. I did have to get the stock bearings replaced, with just a cheap 15-20$ upgrade and you turn a good board into a GREAT board. I bought this board for $140 and it has stood up to the test of time very well, however I dont give it 5 stars due to the bearings needing to be replaced (due to my own negligence of not cleaning, but there is a drastic change regardless) and also because there are other boards I have found for $50 cheaper that are much higher quality made and smoother than this board. But- if you want a casual and decent board that looks good rather than a great board that looks average, then this is the right board for you.
