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

The board is nice construction and glides great for good long cruises. Only bummer was that I had to get a skate tool separately to adjust the wheels and bearings even though it was supposed to come with it. 4.5 stars due to that.

I bought this board for casual use and it adds a lot of fun to my dog-walking activity. So pushing around on a flat surface for approximately 5 miles a day. I love everything about the design. For me, the board has a perfect weight, nice flex, smooth ride, and overall excellent performance, but after only two weeks of riding the deck developed several long cracks. Given I am 210lbs, but I only use it to go straight on a flat surface of Illinois flatlands. Rolling down a small hill at approximately 10 mph was the craziest thing I did on this board. Very sad, because if not for the aforementioned flaws this is a really great board. Given the amount of 5-star reviews I am willing to give it a benefit of a doubt, maybe I got a lemon. Update: Ive reached out to Magnetostore and within minutes got a response. They requested some pictures of the damage and got back to me the next day saying that the replacement board is being shipped the same day. The replacement board arrived by FedEx in less than a week, even though Ive only asked for the deck to be replaced Magnetostore sent me the entire new board. Given the speed and quality of the customer service Ive received, I believe a 5-star review is in order.

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.

The stability of being level with the axel vs. being over it creates a much smother ride as well as being more stable beneath your feet. The wide deck offers lager footed persons, such as myself, an excellent platform. As well as contributing to the surf-like carving created by the set-up. The wheels and bearings are almost cloud like. Im amazed at some of the stuff I can just roll over instead of being a victim of inertia. Overall this is an excellent buy. Especially for the price. My only critique would be that the bushings are a bit too soft. However $11 gets you a set of 100a bushings on here. So its an easy fix.

I’m a rank beginner at any kind of skateboarding. My daughter bought a longboard and said it was easier for a beginner than a regular board. I took her word for it, and I think she’s right. I love this board. It’s beautiful, but also, I think the grip on the deck is better than full-on grip tape, like on her Retrospec. This rides really smooth, really responsive trucks. I’ve been on it about four times and I’m getting it. As I said, rank beginner, but I’d recommend this for beginners like me.

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.

This is the first board I’ve owned, and I’m in love. For the past few days, I’ve been using it to get around my college campus, so it’s saved me a lot of time. Plus, I look cool. :) I literally had the thing for five seconds—I had just taken it out of its box and started to take it home when I got my first “Nice board.” The look of it is very beautiful and minimalist, not overly fussy like other skateboard designs. It rides like a cloud. I’m not professional, but it gets me where I need to be quickly, so that’s good enough for me. I can’t wait to start learning tricks on it. I’ve been watching longboard dancing videos for years wanting to imitate the skaters, but I wasn’t able to because of the shape of my brother’s board. Now I have no excuses—time to learn! One thing I will say, which you’ve probably already guessed, is that it’s quite cumbersome, so you can’t take it everywhere. It’s awkward taking it around crowded classrooms and cafeterias, but that can be overlooked. Just looking at Crownboards and Pepper Boards, I feed the Magneto dancer has just as much to offer at an infinitely lower price. I’m proud to recommend it.

The most striking thing about the Magneto Bamboo Dancer, once you open the box and realize the sheer length of it, is how gorgeous this longboard looks. From the bamboo pattern to the clear grip tape and M logo on top to the black reversible Magneto logo on the underside to the black trucks and wheels, this board looks absolutely beautiful. I was reluctant to take it out into the street for fear of nicking and scraping away at the glossy finish. As a former shortboard skater, the Bamboo Dancer presented a couple new challenges. First, its a lot heavier and longer than a regular skateboard and thus transporting it requires a bit more finesse lest you scrape away at your doorways, walls, or car paint. Second, the size and weight forced me to relearn how to do the most basic skateboard skills such as turning, pivoting, and even pushing. The trucks and wheelbase are much wider and longer which allows for more stability, while the soft wheels provide a smoother, quieter ride while sacrificing some speed. I used to ride my shortboard with tight tight tight trucks, and switching to a dancer board, which requires loose trucks for maximum fun, took a little getting used to. Thankfully, Magneto was awesome enough to provide a free skate tool to adjust the kingpin and tighten/loosen your trucks as desired. Its been 4 months since I received this longboard and as Ive gotten more competent at riding and performing tricks, Ive also beaten up the board substantially. The symmetrical nose and tail are appropriately scraped up, yet they still retain their pop and have no cracks or delamination. However, the sides of the board that sit right below the wheel wells have chipped off some leaving exposed and splintered wood on the topside of the board. Im sure my countless attempts at 180 no-complys and ghost ride kickflips contributed to this damage, but Im surprised that instead of just wearing away or denting the wood Im instead getting large splinters that are peeling off. Another strange thing is the wheels seem to occasionally become crooked. Its hard to describe, but imagine you give the wheel a nice spin and instead of just rotating around the axel, it wobbles as it spins. I dont know if its due to the wheels being too soft so the bearings loosen and shift in place, but I can get it to go away by pushing the wheels into the trucks to straighten them. Its a manageable problem, but Ive never seen it before on other skateboards. I have some Orangutang wheels in the mail. Overall I love the Bamboo Dancer. As my first longboard I knew there would a learning curve and I didnt want to spend too much on a learning board, but after riding this thing for 4 months I really cant imagine how much better a much more expensive Loaded board would be. I know theres a world of fancy longboards out there, but of all the ones Ive seen the Magneto is hands down, to my eyes, the best looking one by far. Minus 1-star for the wood splintering on the sides and the weird issue with the wheels. Otherwise, this board is amazing in every way.

I surf but recently moved to TX so have opt d for skateboarding instead. This board looks great, rides well and is pretty durable. Love the size as it allows me to ride comfortably. I’m sure the other reviews about changing the wheels to go faster are valid but works for someone who doesn’t really need to go too fast and just cruise along.
