VOLADOR Freeride Longboard Cruiser | Maple Wood Deck| Drop Through Longboard Complete

-I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON LONGBOARDS!! -In the picture with two boards, mine is the one on the right! -Sorry about the crappy pictures :/ Being someone that doesnt know much about skateboarding or skateboards, i did my research. First off i wanted to see which type of long board would be best for a beginner like me. This is a great drop through long board and is the best board for beginenrs because it allows you to maintain your balance well because of the deck. As many other people have suggested in the comments you will need to purchase a T-tool and loosen up your wheels. As for how the board looks, i love it! I was actually going to purchase the red sunset looking one and then at the last minute, the manufacturer released these new desgins and i chose a different board. For some people there may be a little too much branding all over the board, but i think its fine and have actaually covered up some of the logos on the board with stickers.I get compliments all the time on my grip tape and wheels and while they look good the grip tape and wheels ride even better (for a beginner). The one critique that i would have is that i wish the board came with better quality wheels. Now dont get me wrong, the wheels that come on this board are perfectly fine and i rode on them for quite a while, and honestly they couldve lasted for much longer, but then one of my friends ordered a board from a similar vendor on amazon, paid much less than i did, and received wheels on his board that were absolutely a higher quality than mine. They rode smoother and looked better. I now find myself searching for new wheels for my board. All in all the price of these of any of these boards is GREAT and the quality is EVEN BETTER. This is a great board to start out on for a beginner and i am so glad that i came across these on amazon before i walked into zumiez and dropped $200+ on a longboard.

I turned 40 and wanted to try something new to keep up with my kiddo in her roller skates. (I am a jogger and a yogi..my hubs goes to the gym has no balance and nearly died simply standing on this - user error, not cos of the board).This board is perfect. It is not too long that it is annoying to carry but it is much longer than a penny board and also a regular board. I am about 140 lbs and it feels solid. My kiddo is 9 and also practices enough on my board that I bought her her own regular size skateboard. Im still learning how to turn but am taking it very slow and couldnt be more pleased with my purchase.

it arrived on time, my husband loves it!!! it’s safe to ride and cool design. so i presume it’s a great skateboard (i’m not a skater myself hahaha)

So, after several month of using this board, I have to say the previous model of this board was much better than this one, for many reasons. Of course, this current board (at least the new designs) is a new build for the board. It feels very stiff before breaking everything in, but after a while of using it everything becomes a lot looser and smoother basically. I would recommend switching out the bearings after about 2 months of use just because theyre not the best but they get the job done for whatever youre doing. The board itself is concave which is nice because it allows for easy maneuvering of your feet and allow everything to feel a lot smoother, at least in my experience. The one thing I dont like about this is how stiff it feels. Its not as flexible as before, and even if there was no flex before it felt like there was. I dont know how to explain it, but its just a different feel. Also, i noticed on my specific board some of the screws on the plates holding the trucks through the drop-through hole were coming loose, so you might wanna watch those screws to make sure nothing comes out and messes stuff up. Overall, this board is amazing for anyone who is looking at a cheap-end board that works for just about anything. The build is amazing and feels high quality, and doesnt seem to make any expenses right off the bat. Great board for the price, and will last long considering I had to buy a new one cause the one that I bought a year ago was super worn from use. In any case, I would recommend this board 100%
