Greater than one weekLove 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.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI bought this board for my daughter, who is an intermediate longboarder. I was very surprised to find this board (Bamboo Drop & Fiberglass Through Longboard) set up very well right out of the box. I had my tools ready to go, but found no need! My daughter was impressed- loves the look and absolutely loves the ride. She uses her boards mostly for cruising; occasional tricks/freestyle coming in second, drifting a distant 3rd. The stock wheels are a bit soft for drifting but great otherwise. This is a lightweight board for its size and class. It has a very nice and low center of gravity and riders dont have to worry about wheel bite with this board design. The flex of the deck is fantastic, offering great feel while still smoothing out the ride on typical pavement and sidewalks. I highly recommend this board for beginners through advanced riders. More advanced riders may have a preference for specific wheels/bearings, but even so, the deck and trucks are well worth the price. Keep it stock or upgrade to your hearts content- this is a great longboard!

Greater than one weekBoard is really nice and has great construction of board itself. Trucks could be a little more responsive. Company sent board in timely manner but did not send truck tool that was supposed to come with it like posting said. The little things like sending what is supposed to come with me hat I paid for will make me not order again from this company.

> 3 dayAfter researching many different boards, I finally decided to purchase this one and I am very happy I did so. The aspects of this board that stuck out most to me are the price (for what you get especially now that I have the board), other reviews, and the natural look In use, the board has proven to be quite sturdy. I have ridden it approximately 60 miles by now and have had no issues. It has taken several hard hits to the curb and no splintering or cracking is to be seen. The stock bearings are admittedly not incredibly smooth. $20 can get you a great new set of bearings that will match the quality of the rest of the board. Overall, I would highly recommend this board to anyone.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayQuality stick. Only 4 stars because the grip tape keeps peeling off. I’ll probably just go to a skate shop and pick up better tape. Other than that, smooth ride and the slot makes carving turns a lot more fun. I’m 57 and getting back into the groove. Much better than the Black Knight I rode as a kid with clay wheels. Lol.

> 3 dayLongboard works as expected. Could us better quality bearings. Other than that look and board is very good.

> 3 dayThe 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.

Greater than one weekI just got the board so i cant yet say for sure how amazing it is but from what i have done with it it is pretty amazing its my second board ever and i got the dancer since im trying to learn more dance oriented tricks so from what i have ridden its pronominal. The turns are smooth the rides like a dream. only problem i had with it was when i got it out of the box after tightening the hardware and everything to how i liked it and rode it was making a squeaking noise when i heel side carved it might just need a few hours of riding to break in. Also it had a line going vertical on the board but it seemed like it was part of the original wood but it looked sealed so i didnt bother reporting it. Otherwise it rides like a dream on my old board the speedometer never even registered now that is says im going 11 mps got me really hype. Overall a great buy highly recommend. oh it is also beautiful.
