> 3 dayIts a cheap board but Ive been on some more well known brand boards and I cant tell a difference but Im not a Pro either. I did however change the wheels but havnt been back o n it since due to recovering from hip surgery but overall its not a bad board for the money, in my opinion.

> 3 dayAwesome board! I personally love it because it allows for a smooth and stable ride. I have been longboarding/longboard dancing for a few years and have tried and ridden many types of boards. I saw this one and figured Id give it a go. Pretty good investment if you ask me! Board arrived on time and was completely assembled. I will say I did a few adjustments to suit my taste. (1) I relubricated the bearings. (2) Adjusted the kingpins/bushings so that the board will turn more. (They were quite tight.) (3) Added grip-tape to the mid-section on the deck. I did sort of a pin-stripe design. I had extra grip tape at home. If you dont have any, you can get some at a skate shop or order it online. Its cheap. (4) Lubricated all the bushings and pivot cups with Vaseline to eliminate squeaking. Ive done this procedure with pretty much every board Ive owned and it makes a HUGE difference! Turns a good board into a great board! Also, if you are a beginner, or trying out new tricks, invest in some tail guards or meltable poly-plastic to protect the nose and tail. Trust me...its worth it. All-in-all...I really like this board. The graphics are great, trucks are very stable and the wheels that come with it feel smooth are fairly lightweight and can withstand cracks and bumps. Good for cruising, commuting, dancing, freestyle/tricks. The kicks have alot of pop. I would recommend thos board For either a beginner or advanced rider. For the price, you cannot go wrong! It just needs a bit of tweaking and bit of tlc. After that, you have an incredible board for a great price! And your friends will be jealous! :)

> 3 dayA friend introduced me to longboarding, so I decided to get my own board. I bought the same board that they had, and it is great. I didnt have to make any changes to the board when it arrives, and it rides smoothly and turns well. One of my roommates bought the same board that I did, and his has started making a loud clicking sound. I dont know much about longboards, but Im assuming that it can be easily fixed. I have not had any problems with mine. My other roommate bought a different board in a similar price range, and I prefer this board over his. I primarily use it to go to classes and it gets the job done.

> 3 dayThis is an awesome board for the price! I have had it a little over a month and put at least 100 miles on this thing, it is a joy to ride. There are some things that it requires - lubing the bearings, adjusting the trucks, lubing the bearings again, but for the price it is totally worth it. I live on an island in the Caribbean and this is now my preferred form of transportation when I am by myself. I would not recommend for higher speeds because it gets a little unstable above 35 mph, but for just kicking around town it is a blast and you cant beat the price. One negative thing for me is that the wheels a super grippy - I was hoping to be able to drift corners. The wheels are nice for riding rough pavement - most of the island is a bit sketchy but this board does great. I will most likely be buying a few more for friends that have tried my board and love it.

> 3 dayShipping was pretty quick. It was good to skate straight out of the box, however the trucks required some adjustment. the wheels did not glide very well, and one of them made a rattling sound. applying some lube helped, but i am probably going to replace the bearing anyways. deck quality seems good. it comes with some stickers and a skate tool. some of the stickers were cool, put them on the board. the skate tool is not poorly made and works fine. rate 7/10

> 3 dayThis is my first experience with a long board, but it has been a good one! I was happy when my package arrived a couple days early (Im not a prime member, but the free shipping by Playshion was a great deal!) Out of the box the board was ready to go, beautiful, undamaged, and all around great. I am a 6 1 220 lb guy and this rides great with me on it. After getting a few miles under the wheels, the board really starts to come alive and hit its stride. The bearings and wheels on this are great for just simple cruising. I dont think theyre the fastest things available, but for my purposes they are plenty great. I have had no problems with the board at all. I may in the future look at some harder wheels so I can be more slidey, but the soft wheels that come on it are great for just chill riding. I would definitely recommend this board to anyone, especially beginners. Buy it and have a great time with it!

> 3 dayI recently purchased a longboard and I am incredibly impressed with its performance. The board is designed with high-quality materials and features a sturdy deck that provides excellent stability and balance while riding. The wheels are smooth and comfortable, making for a seamless ride on any surface. One of the best things about this longboard is its speed. The bearings are of high quality, allowing for a swift and smooth ride. The board is also lightweight, making it easy to carry around when not in use. I was also impressed with how easy it was to maneuver. The trucks are responsive and allow for quick turns, making it easy to navigate through busy streets or crowded parks. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend this longboard to anyone looking for a high-quality, reliable mode of transportation. Whether youre a beginner or an experienced rider, this longboard will not disappoint.

> 3 dayLet me just say, I really love this board. I am fairly new to longboarding. The trucks and wheels aren’t terrible and I felt were adequate for the price. I am learning to longboard with my 8 year old daughter and I rode this about 9 miles (in one day I have rode it several times after that) out of the box, no upgrades. I have since purchased new trucks, wheels, and barrings. Just for my preference. I’m not sure if I would have gotten out cheaper if I would have purchased from a board shop but I’m not complaining. I didn’t want to invest a lot upfront if I ended up not liking it or not being able to longboard. This is a great board for beginners and with a few upgrades it’s a fantastic board, but what comes with it works fine. Not to mention the price is really amazing. So if you’re a newbie and considering a board I highly recommend it!

> 3 dayI just got this board and am fairly new at longboarding but hooked. This is my second board. My first one was a Retrospect pintail, which I liked, but then I got this board and it was a total game changer. I was falling on my ass everyday and starting to think I just didnt have it in me until I got this board. This thing carves like crazy! I can make really tight turns and the drop-through trucks make me feel closer to the earth and safer. Theres a decent amount of flex, which I personally like, it feels more stable and less rigid than my pintail. Ive actually started picking up some boardwalking tricks which Id never been able to do on the other board. This is like plug and play fun if youre a beginning longboarder.

> 3 dayOverall I liked it, as a beginner it took a lot of practicing to get the hang of longboarding but with this board its especially fun once you get used to it and the board becomes less stiff the more you use it. Only warning is that dont try going down hills if you arent confident since with this board can get pretty fast pretty quickly. I usually only use it on small hills that Im confident on.
