> 24 hourSo this is a pretty decent board for the price range. Solid grip, the trucks have good turn radius on them and I love the simplicity in the style. My only issue is the bearing aren’t that smooth. It doesn’t glide as long as I’d like for the amount of push I give. But that’s something I can easily fix. And I shouldn’t complain too much about a complete deck for so cheap. It’s a great starter board or just one for cruising around the neighborhood.

> 24 hourThis board is worth the price if you can snag it on sale. Mine was 50% off. The shipping took an extra day but that’s not what I’m rating. Out of the box this board needs tuning. People have said the wheel don’t spin freely. Loosen the axle screw about a half turn and that’ll fix that issue. I prefer a more tight ride and after a few rides and bushing tightenings, I found a sweet spot. Crank those bushings until they start to bulge and then ride. They’ll loosen a bit and then tighten them once more. Boom. Ready to go. I’m a seasoned boarder, skater, wakeborder, and a novice surfer. I know my way around my stick. This drives like a Cadillac. It’s 42” exactly and isn’t for kids. Teens maybe but it’s too heavy and long for little ones. I’m 5’11”, 180# and the flex and curvature of the deck is excellent. The hardware is just fine and will wear out over time, but unless you’re trying to, for some reason, grind curbs with this thing it will last for years. Overall for the price (on sale) it’s 4.5 star stick. Bring your own stickers!

> 24 hourAfter researching many different boards, I finally decided to purchase this one and I am very happy I did so. The aspects of this board that stuck out most to me are the price (for what you get especially now that I have the board), other reviews, and the natural look In use, the board has proven to be quite sturdy. I have ridden it approximately 60 miles by now and have had no issues. It has taken several hard hits to the curb and no splintering or cracking is to be seen. The stock bearings are admittedly not incredibly smooth. $20 can get you a great new set of bearings that will match the quality of the rest of the board. Overall, I would highly recommend this board to anyone.

> 24 hourI have had this board for almost half a year now and I have to say that it holds up really well with everything you throw at it! PROS Cruises very smoothly and requires less effort for a longer ride per push compared to other boards Ive rode. Stock turning capability is perfect for beginners and advanced riders. Easily take sharp turns and sliding. More professional riders would have to tune the board to their liking (which they should know how to do). The grip is no joke, no catastrophes or mistakes were made because of the grip. Could get tricky if the deck is very very wet though. CONS If you use it often there might be a inconvenience that may occur. After 5 months of moderate to heavy use I noticed a rattle coming from the wheels I think. I have yet to know if this is an easy fix or not because Im not sure how to tinker with boards quite yet. All in all, solid board for the price. It would be nearly perfect if the price was cut by 10 or 15 bucks, but still, a very good board to put on your list and compare to others.

> 24 hourAt first I thought the bearings and wheels were complete junk. But I loosened all the axle nuts about a quarter turn and that freed up all the wheels a lot. They spin much better now. I had written a negative review prematurely, so Im here to edit it now. Okay, compared to another longboard I have with regular wheels, this one doesnt seem any faster, and is slightly less comfortable. It doesnt turn as well either. I bought it for one reason--low rolling resistance and, therefore, higher speed. It should do that, but again, it feels no faster than my other board. The larger and thinner wheels should make it faster. Maybe someone could do a more careful test of that than Ive done, which is just me using my impression as the sole evidence. Havent had any problems with it otherwise.

> 24 hourI ordered this as my first board and fell in love with it. This board is great for beginners, its a solid board that looks great. Overall im happy with it. The only thing I was not happy about was the bearings and bushings. Im a bigger guy, I replaced the bushings with a stiffer Divine bushings right away which changed the feel of the board instantly. The stock bearings are okay but definitely not great. I switched those with a Bronson G2 bearing. The overall feel of the board with the new bushings and bearing changed dramatically.

> 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 hourFirst impression, this board isnt quite as nice as it looks in pictures. the grip tape isnt well fitted and the finish isnt that great. I have a less expensive board that gives a much better presentation. Visuals aside, this is a very nice board to ride. The bamboo deck is very flexy and the trucks are VERY responsive. This board feels like it can carve and turn on a dime. I thing the slot is a gimmick, but at least it looks cool, and doesnt hurt anything. I also noticed the crackling noises while turning that other buyers also reported. It sounds a bit alarming at first, but i think its just the grip tape adhesive not flexing with the board. that noise will go away once you do some cruising. Im really looking forward to hitting some hills on this board.

> 24 hourIts truly a wonderful board! I was waiting to long to by a new board and wanted a board with little to no speed wobbles while bombing hills. I didnt experience any wobbles while bombing hills and the board rides so smooth in general. I will mention that my board needed to have all screws tightened to the trucks before I officially took it out for a ride. Great price for a great board!
