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

Ive been riding this board everywhere I can since I got it. Its a fantastic board at a great price, and I couldnt be happier. To go point by point: - The grip tape is very grippy. Your feet are not moving once theyre planted. If you dont want it so corse its easy to sand down, but I like it as-is. - The deck is fairly stiff. This means you will feel the road, for better and worse. Its not the smoothest ride, but it feels more solid for being stiff. The deck is nice and concave, which together with the grip tape makes for your feet being well connected to the board. The deck is symmetrical with a kick tail at either end. Trucks - not too much to say here, theyre pretty standard steel trucks. They came fairly loose, but thats easy to adjust if you prefer them tighter. Bearings - the bearings are fantastic. They roll on par with Bones Reds. There is virtually no resistance once theyre broken in. Wheels - the wheels are mid sized and medium hardness for longboard wheels. They arent the best choice if you just want to cruise, but they work acceptably for cruising and sliding so its a happy medium. If youve ever wanted to try longboarding, this board is a fantastic option.

A beauty of a board for a great price. The Volador showed up quickly, boxed in cardboard with some paper padding. Unlike some other reviewers that complained of shrink wrap embedded in the trucks, mine had no such issues. Thanks for listening to reviewers! The packaging method still allowed for it to shift in the box and there was a slight paint crack on one side, presumably from shipping. No big deal in this instance, since I’m not too concerned about it staying pristine. It is meant to be used, after all, but others might not be so lucky with transportation handling. Add a little foam on each end and it’ll go a long way to protecting during shipping. I’m new to long boarding, and only had a little experience as a kid with on a 1990s skateboard. This is a vast improvement. It was easy to balance and carve. I’m 160Ib and it handled my weight just fine. My 85Ib kid had a harder time steering. The board feels good and the trucks seem sturdy. After a couple rides the bushings really loosened up/broke in, so I had to tighten them up. No sign that the nuts or bolts are loosening, though. The bearings are ok. A couple of the bearings are making some noise after an hour of riding, which indicates they might not last all too long. Spacers are sized appropriately. Wheels are plenty soft for asphalt roads and cracks. Overall I’m definitely satisfied with the product. It’s getting me and my boys out of the house and around the neighborhood.

I bought this to ride to my college classes and I use it all the time. It has held up pretty good and I havent gotten hurt riding it yet. For being an online low price board, I have no complaints.

This thing is beautiful. From the graphic design to the shape of the board and it’s concave shape. The ride is sooo smooth and the wide wheels and flex make it so comfortable to ride it. Of course the value factor is out of the water good and you get way more than what you pay for. Now.... for the 1 reduced star rating... the vendor quality control is very lacking. We had originally placed an order for the lemonade design which is a greenish/yellow color pattern. Well, they sent us the cocktail color pattern instead which is the same pattern as lemonade but purple hues. Funny thing is that the bag the bird came in had a label that said “Lemonade” which is obviously wrong. Also, we noticed 2 of the wheels had marks like if they’d been sitting on something hard which made a permanent indentation on the outside edges. 2 of the 4 wheels had this issue. We returned this order and asked for a new Lemonade model. Well, guess what... same exact issues on the new one. Wrong color (cocktail) was received again while label on bag said lemonade, and once again, wheels had permanent knicks/marks on 2 of the 4 wheels. Returned it again for a refund and place a new order for a different color pattern (Fuji summer). Finally!!!! Got the right color, and wheels were perfect. Even though this was a pain, we persisted because we could tell right away with even the slightly issued boards that these are great long boards. Very happy now. Hoping this is just a warehouse quality issue They can fix rapidly and you don’t experience this yourself. Enjoy!

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.

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

This is the 2nd board I have purchased. I bought this board for my sister. I ordered it in Pine Green and received a Leaf Green board instead. However, the box was correctly marked Pine Green, so this was not the fault of the seller. But he should notify his supplier about this problem. So I planned on sending it back and ordered another Pine Green one because thats the color she wanted. The same thing happened. So Sis just decided to keep it, thinking itll probably just happen again. Brother saw the board, liked it and wanted the first one that wasnt sent back yet. They both LOVE this board! Granted, they are kinda new to skating, but Sis tells me that it rides way better than her other board and it takes turns great. She loves the way it looks and they have so much on it. Hours of fun! Put it this way, she loved this board so much, she settled for a different color. From her excitement, this board comes highly recommended.

Well designed longboard. Sturdy and good quality. Good price. Unfortunately it was delivered with scratches and markings on the underside. Huge bummer as I am not up for returning a product when the quality should have been checked before sending to me. In addition, we didnt want to wait for the whole process of exchanging. Too bad the quality check wasnt on it! My daughter loves it though ;)

great starter board, served me well for months until I cracked it doing something dumb and decided to get a new one. survived the crash and still works though, would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get into longboarding

I bought this in May of 2022 because I wanted to start riding and I love it, as a bigger person if really holds up to the weight rating and the only issues I have had is a small split in the end of the board which I fixed with wood glue and sanded down, and the trucks would loosen from the board so I had to tighten them more. Other than that it is amazing!
