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

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.

The deck is great and has a very nice flex, and camber. Concave feels nice when carving. However, apart from the deck, this board did not arrive in what I would call new condition. The wheels did not spin, and I had to replace the bearings. I had to grease the pivot cups because the trucks were loud as hell, and sounded like a board that hadnt been ridden or maintained in years. All in all, not a big deal, especially since I had bearings handy. So far the board is worth the trouble and immediate maintenance required. If youre a beginner, its a good board for the price, but expect to drop some money on new bearings if you actually want to skate, rather than workout your pushing leg. The pivot cups can be silenced with a few soap shavings. Youll have to learn the maintenance stuff anyway. If youre a more advanced rider and are looking for a decent, inexpensive cruiser, its a good choice.

Everything looks awesome I got it today cant wait to ride it this weekend but as soon as I got on it after unpacking I heard a pop, seems like one of the screws was overtighten , doesnt seem like a biggie, hopefully the crack wont get any bigger , but I thought I should point it out

This long board is super fun! My daughter loves it and I (mom) ride it too! Its nice and wide and light weight, which makes it easy for a beginner and more advanced would love it too. It seems like the bearings are a bit tight or not very fast. Its seems like it should go faster. Might need to upgrade bearings. But overall its a great skate board and feels well made!

This longboard is super easy to ride! Maybe that is just the nature of longboards, but I am a true beginner and I found it very easy to push and turn the board. PROS: - Riding on rough asphalt is nice and smooth. You can still pick up speed pretty easily and the wheels absorb a lot of the shock from the road. - The grip on the deck is good and not too grabby. - The design of the board is top notch. - The bearings seem to be pretty good. CONS: - The trucks are really loose out of the box. I tightened them and they still have a lot of play in them. I’ll try tightening them all the way and see if that helps. - The kicks are relatively small. If you are new to longboards(like me), it will seem like you need a good amount of force to kick the board up. Definitely not as easy as a regular skateboard. All in all, this is a pretty good board for a beginner. You will automatically feel confident after hopping on the board for the first time and rolling without falling off the board. On a side note the deck has plenty of flex. I’m 215lbs and get a lot of flex from the deck. My daughter is about 75lbs and only gets a little flex from the board. But it is probably still enough flex to carve effectively. Final evaluation: The board is worth buying. You’ll be pleased.

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.

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!

At first I thought the bearings and wheels were complete junk. But I loosened all the axle nuts about a quarter turn and that freed up all the wheels a lot. They spin much better now. I had written a negative review prematurely, so Im here to edit it now. Okay, compared to another longboard I have with regular wheels, this one doesnt seem any faster, and is slightly less comfortable. It doesnt turn as well either. I bought it for one reason--low rolling resistance and, therefore, higher speed. It should do that, but again, it feels no faster than my other board. The larger and thinner wheels should make it faster. Maybe someone could do a more careful test of that than Ive done, which is just me using my impression as the sole evidence. Havent had any problems with it otherwise.

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.
