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.

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.

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.

Was really good in the beginning. I rode it for about half an hour and the bearings froze up on me. I can still ride the board, just that the bearings are not as smooth as when I first hopped on it. Definitely should have just ordered replacement bearings from bones at the same time as buying the board. Beautiful wood and bamboo

So I held off a few months to write the review since I wanted to see how it held up and honestly it held up pretty well. To be honest, I think the board itself is pretty much the only solid part of the board. The wheels are alright but youll definitely need to replace the bearings. The trucks themselves are fine but youre going to have to replace the bushings after a bit. In the beginning it was fine but after a few months theyll get irreverably squashed which is super annoying when doing dance moves. Overall though its a solid beginner board for dancing, and Im pretty sure the board itself will last a ew years. Just replace everything else, haha. If magneto sold just the board then that would be what I suggest.

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!

I was looking for a board that could handle my weight and be stable as I havent been on a board in 13 years and about 50 pounds (and even back then I was an amateur). Since getting it I have been able to practice and I am slowly getting better at it. Great wheels for the very screwed up roads around my area. Easy to adjust everything. Very stable and easy to get the hang of. I highly recommend

I bought this last summer as a beginner and Iove it! It works great, still working on turning sharp corners but great for cruising

Ok yes right off the bat you can see i changed parts on it. But as for the deck its self i love it. If your a beginner i have 1 thing to say it is a super easy board to ride and if you mess with it wrong its super easy to break. This is not a jumping trick board. Not a manual board, not a 180 revert board. This is a carve cruise and dance board. That being said it is a wonderful board if you put the money into it. Very minimum change the bearings and bushings if you are light i recommend double cones. It allows for movement, less rebound, more turnability. If you jump on it never jump with your feet close to the trucks cause all your weight is being put on the wood and bolts not the base plate. It is not a grip tape its an adhesive sand adhesive coat it will rub away after a while but it isnt bad ive been riding mine for a little over 2 years now. Ive had 5 people try to buy mine off of me for $300+. Make sure if you buy it put a little extra money into it and remember what i wrote about it. All in all super fun board. Id also recommend putting anti sink plates on the bottom bolts care the washers sink a lot.

I only can say that Magneto is amazing and their support is best ever. Ive ordered recently two boards Longboard Carver and Mini Cruiser. Both boards are great and exactly what I wanted. Now special about support. I found that on Mini Cruiser two wheels spinning not that well as other two, and wrote to support right away. Ive got reply in just few minutes, saying that they will send me replacement set of bearings. And now most cool part. The replacement set was not just same/regular bearings, it was Magnetos Slicks! They still spinning, hahaha. So Im for sure satisfied customer :)
