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

Was a little jittery and wobbly as if the board was warped, but it’s pretty good after riding it for a while.

Good for a beginner ‘s, as I myself am. I am by no means an expert, still very much a novice so I can’t speak to the nuances of the board. But even as a beginner I can tell that the stress fractures forming Where the trucks attach to the board speak to the quality of the board itself. I’ve had the board for maybe two months now and have strictly used it on a tennis court outside my home as I learned how to balance and turn in maneuver, for the first month and 3/4. I have only taken it on a path, a paved pathway three times for a total of about 6 miles. Still far from putting major even moderate wear and tear on the board and the stress fractures have surfaced. Now i got the board for 40 bucks on Amazon warehouse so I’m not complaining but if I paid the full price I might be irritated

My 10 year old bought this for her first longboard. Overall it’s pretty good, but had to mark it down a star because 1 wheel had a 1/4” chunk taken out of it but it’s in the sidewall so no effect on the ride and I highly doubt these are abec7 bearings. Other daughters more expensive boards have ABEC 7 and these ones are not as smooth. It’s fine for a 10 year old learner and maybe the lesser bearing keeps her a bit slower anyway. Didn’t contact the seller cause not worth getting a new board since she will bang it up anyway and she likes it. For the money and a learner it’s a good board to buy.

Good

I love this board! As a very clumsy person who has has no poor experience with longboarding, I thought I wouldn’t do well. But this board is super reliable! It’s been only a few days but I’ve been zipping down the neighborhood and down hills around town. It’s very sturdy too ( my dad, around 250lbs, jokingly tried to hop on it, and the board didn’t even cave) . I seriously recommend this to anyone, especially beginners!

Im absolutely in love with this board! I was a little skeptical at first because of the cheap price and those few reviews the warn you not to be fooled by the positive reviews, but I took a chance and bought it anyway. Ive seen some reviews about how this board breaks during trick attempts, but that doesnt affect me because I just like to cruise around anyway. Ive only had it 3 days and have ridden about 5 miles so far, and it seems to be holding up just fine. I originally bought a Kryptonics board because of the price, but I soon realized that was a mistake because the ride was too stiff and when i loosened the trucks it just made the whole ride feel unsafe. Thats not a problem with this board, I rode it straight out of the box and havent looked back since. If youre debating on which board to buy then stop debating and buy this one. You wont regret it.

I am giving this product a five star review not because it is the best longboard out there but because it is a great longboard for the money paid. This is my first longboard and I have been riding it for several months now. It showed up on time and was packaged adequately. The board is plenty long to be stable for first time users and the trucks feel very stable. This board is not incredibly fast right out of the box but it is quick enough to get around. I mostly use this board for transportation and have had no issues thus far. The white wheels will get dirty pretty quick but besides that the board is holding up very well and I have been using it daily for close to two months now. I did pay full price for this product and was not paid to write this review. I highly recommend this board to anyone that is either looking into getting a cheap longboard or someone that is unsure if they are interested or not.

Im a 21 year old that wants a longboard as a means of getting around my college campus and for recreational use. I chose a board over a bike because the board is much more portable (i.e fits in a car). Ive always loved board sports (skateboarding, snowboarding, paddleboarding), so I figured it was time to get my first longboard. Did some research and item comparisons to a longboard my friend got at Target and a bunch of other longboards right here on Amazon. Pulled the trigger not knowing what to expect. Heres my impression of the board: Deck: Deck was the perfect size for me. I am 60, have longer than average limbs/legs and am currently around 190 lbs. It does have a bit of give/flex that made me uncomfortable at first out of fear the board will break (and that I will break something along with it), but this fear goes away the more comfortable you get with it. Skateboards tend not to have this level of board flex because of the smaller wheelbase. Good grip on top. Bottom came with a few bumps and imperfections on the finish, but nothing a week or two of regular use wouldnt have done to it anyways. I also understand because this isnt a professional board, so Im expecting quality, but understandably not the best. Only issue is the tail/nose are tiny, so while you do have a longer wheelbase in relation to the size of the board, its difficult to prop the board up on 2 wheels. Trucks: Seems to be average quality. I thought the handling was too soft for me, so I tightened the kingpins a bit. And then lossened them. And then tightened them. It took maybe 5 minutes to find my preferred tightness, which is one where I dont feel wobbly and can still turn. Ive gone down a few hills and I felt stable after my first couple runs where I was a bit afraid about not knowing how fast I would go and if I could handle the speed. Again, Im a beginner, but I was able to figure it out. Ive tried going for sharper turns by putting more of my body weight on one side/over the edge of the board, but I keep falling. Im gonna chalk that up to the fact that Im new to this and not blame the board. Wheels: Wheels seem to be decent quality similar to the trucks, though the trucks are better quality. Again, not cheap but not the best quality. Decent. Average or a bit above average, I wouldnt say below average. I will probably replace the wheels with Shark Wheels later on. The bearings, though, were terrible. I followed the advice of another reviewer and bought some Bones Redz for around $10 (without spacers, spacers are already included). Huge improvement on the stock bearings without even breaking them in. Its a shame they cut corners here. Now that theyre broken in, I get a lot more distance on each push. To summarize: -Board components are all average or a bit above average, with the exception of the bearings, which are terrible. Im new to longboardong, this is my first longboard and Im buying it over the internet without any real external guidance, so I didnt want to spend more money without truly knowing the best board to get. I couldnt find a cheaper board that came assembled and didnt come from eBay. Nothing about this board astounded me, but thats just because I had realistic expectations. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase and I dont think you can find a better board for $49. If it came with a decent set of bearings I wouldnt have had to replace, I would have given it 5 stars. Edit 1: Its 2 weeks later and Ive cleaned the bearings I bought for the first time and replaced the wheels with Shark Wheels (70 mm 78A Ghost Formula). I rode it around for the past 2 days and though I originally didnt like the new wheels, I changed my mind after I saw how much faster I could go, how mich firther I could coast, and how I didnt get stuck on cracks that would have tripped me up on my other set of wheels. I also ordered a pair of Caliber II 50-degree trucks and I expect to see improved handling since these are 40 degree trucks. Still like the board. Edit 2 (01/03/2019): At this point, Ive logged dozens of hours on this board. I now own other longboards, but this is my favorite. The deck, while not the highest quality, remains the only original part of the board. I still stand by my statement that it is worth the money; if you want a real professional longboard board, youre going to have to spend at least $150 on just the deck itself. With that money, I bought a pair of Caliber II trucks for $35, a set of Shark Wheels for $45 or $40 (cant find receipt), and Bones Reds bearings for about $10. Those 3 elements, especially together, will change the way the board performs and responds more than just the deck. Just some food for thought.

I ordered the board after seeing a few videos on YouTube featuring electric skateboards for fun and transportation. I was extremely interested, but hadnt skated since I was a teenager, I had no idea if I could even do it, or if I would even like it once I did. (This was when the boards were closer to $60 than $120). I loved the thing. Its been great fun, a fantastic way to get around. I wouldnt recommend the board to experienced skaters, but to find out if you can do it, or like it, you can find out without breaking the bank. And since all the components are typical, i can replace them one-at-a-time as I wear them out or outgrow their quality. I added massive wheels (95-110mm) for extra stability, and had to cut notches in the deck to accommodate them, but its been pretty great. I mistook the trucks for plastic at first but when I scratched one, I did notice that they are a powder coated metal. Picture evidence attached. I wouldnt buy another one, Ive grown past it, BUT for a first board, not sure I would stick with the activity, it was perfect, and Id recommend it for that purpose all day long

The Board is definitely easy to learn on, make no mistake it was likely the easiest learning experience Ive had on a board because it comes with pretty tight trucks and a nice wide board surface. It is also a concave deck style, so its easy to feel where your feet are meant to go. A few tips to make this board perform a little better right out of the box, and not overwork your ankle: Buy a Skatetool immediately, loosen the wheel nut on all 4 wheels to get more spin out of the wheels, loosen the trucks evenly, and make sure that they are even because there is no defined front on the board, meaning you can skate in both directions on the board. Also, I dropped some 90mm magneto VOLTS on this board just for fun, and while it can take that size, make sure you tighten the trucks up some to avoid wheel bite because you cant get wheel bite with the 70mms it comes with, but you certainly can get it with larger wheels. My primary negative of this board is that it is so HEAVY compared to many other comparable boards. Dont expect to be doing many longboard tricks with this board, even though it has a pronounced kicktail.
