> 24 hourThe stability of being level with the axel vs. being over it creates a much smother ride as well as being more stable beneath your feet. The wide deck offers lager footed persons, such as myself, an excellent platform. As well as contributing to the surf-like carving created by the set-up. The wheels and bearings are almost cloud like. Im amazed at some of the stuff I can just roll over instead of being a victim of inertia. Overall this is an excellent buy. Especially for the price. My only critique would be that the bushings are a bit too soft. However $11 gets you a set of 100a bushings on here. So its an easy fix.

> 24 hourLongtime skater, first time longboader. Just got this board and Ive had it out a few times already. Like others, I had to tighten the screws of the trucks to the board as well as tighten the kingpin. Lots of flex in the board and trucks which is perfect for carving, which is what I wanted it for. It has great response for carving. I may tighten it up a bit more though for more stability. Its not built for bombing hills and not advertised to do so. I will eventually get new wheels and bearings. The ones that come with it are good with the total cost of the board, but I want something a little smoother and to spin a little longer. Overall great board.

> 24 hourIts interesting. I never had a skateboard with grip tape like this. And with just about every skateboard you purchase, you may have to change the wheels or bearings, I happened to change my bearings with reds and its amazing now. Before changing the bearings, it takes a little more work to keep yourself cruising but its manageable if you dont care about that. I was looking for a longboard to cruise and dance with. I have big feet (size12ish 13) and I was afraid to get a product I cant really see. (Sorry about my picture of my feet but hey, I wanted to give reference Lol.) Yes, the product details have its dimensions but you can never be too sure especially when you order online. Ordered it. And its great. Definitely big and wide enough for my large feet and I love the quality of this board! If you doubting this board, well dont, because I doubted it but purchased it and I do not regret it! I provided some photos of the things you would be interested in and hopefully it did some justice.

> 24 hourUpdate (5/21/17) After a month of using this board, I really feel like its the best cruising board I have. Its really stable and it grabs my feet well. I can go over some pretty big cracks and bumps without it suddenly changing direction (which is really important because I ride with my right foot towards the back) The stock wheels and bearing are still smooth. Occasionally, I have to tighten the truck mounting screws. Magneto Bamboo Longboard (not the carbon one) This is a great board for cruising around trails and exploring the town. Its rock solid, not too bouncy, and very very stable while providing a decently tight turn radius. It gives a bit if you bounce one it - but my 180lbs doesnt bend it more than an inch. It feels nearly unbreakable. I dont think Ill be replacing the trucks/wheels with anything, the stock ones are very very nice. Im impressed at the quality of this board -- its beautiful to look at and it rides like a cloud. If I turn the board hard, the turning radius doesnt allow me to completely do a u-turn on my residential USA street...Its close, but I always end up in the shoulder and in the grass.

> 24 hourI was a little worried about how the board would handle my weight since I am 210 lbs. But it handles great! And it goes on forever. It’ll keep me rolling on even a slight incline without pushing. And I love the large wheels cracks, small twigs, and pebbles are no issue. I am new to longboarding and can’t tell you about the specifics and technical stuff, but it works for me.

> 24 houri bought the 42 inch and the 36 inch for my son and i and they ran great for about a month. the trucks bearings and wheels are all trash so we’ve replaced ours and now it’s running flawlessly. in hindsight i should of just bought a deck at a skate shop.

> 24 hourThis long board is super fun! My daughter loves it and I (mom) ride it too! Its nice and wide and light weight, which makes it easy for a beginner and more advanced would love it too. It seems like the bearings are a bit tight or not very fast. Its seems like it should go faster. Might need to upgrade bearings. But overall its a great skate board and feels well made!

> 24 hourI 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

> 24 hourSo 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.
