> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI just got the board so i cant yet say for sure how amazing it is but from what i have done with it it is pretty amazing its my second board ever and i got the dancer since im trying to learn more dance oriented tricks so from what i have ridden its pronominal. The turns are smooth the rides like a dream. only problem i had with it was when i got it out of the box after tightening the hardware and everything to how i liked it and rode it was making a squeaking noise when i heel side carved it might just need a few hours of riding to break in. Also it had a line going vertical on the board but it seemed like it was part of the original wood but it looked sealed so i didnt bother reporting it. Otherwise it rides like a dream on my old board the speedometer never even registered now that is says im going 11 mps got me really hype. Overall a great buy highly recommend. oh it is also beautiful.

> 3 dayI got this board because I wanted one that I could dance on and I am super happy with my purchase. I was a little nervous because it is a kit board from the internet but all in all the board has just the right amount of flex for me (I am 55 and weigh about 140) the trucks have nice range and it comes and it also comes with a skate tool if they are too loose (I thightened mine up after the first ride but thats just my preference). I may change the wheels out for some orangutans but the kit ones are pretty cool too. Great for beginners I think and for the price you cant go wrong.

> 3 dayGreat board for looks and functionality. Allows you to go long distances comfortably (longest I have gone is 10 miles in one ride) AND allowed for easy control on big long or steep hills. I did have to get the stock bearings replaced, with just a cheap 15-20$ upgrade and you turn a good board into a GREAT board. I bought this board for $140 and it has stood up to the test of time very well, however I dont give it 5 stars due to the bearings needing to be replaced (due to my own negligence of not cleaning, but there is a drastic change regardless) and also because there are other boards I have found for $50 cheaper that are much higher quality made and smoother than this board. But- if you want a casual and decent board that looks good rather than a great board that looks average, then this is the right board for you.

> 3 dayI surf but recently moved to TX so have opt d for skateboarding instead. This board looks great, rides well and is pretty durable. Love the size as it allows me to ride comfortably. I’m sure the other reviews about changing the wheels to go faster are valid but works for someone who doesn’t really need to go too fast and just cruise along.

> 3 dayI’m giving this complete 3/5 for several reasons. First, know that you get what you pay for, so the value is there and is excellent as a first dancer. The main drawbacks are the components. The trucks are not precisely made and not as responsive as $50+ ones. This includes the bushings that are poorly molded. The bearings don’t roll as fast as others, so pushing off won’t get you as far as better ones. The wheels quickly take a bite, but are decent for what they are. As far as the board, I which they had placed the grip on the tails and sides only, like the higher end longboards so feet movement will be smoother. The board is also on the heavy side so doing kicks and spins take more effort. On the positive side, the board holds up well to weight. It does cruise well and feels like a Buick of longboard riding, but not a Cadillac or Corvette. For under $160 after taxes, you’re not going to get better.

Greater than one weekThis longboard is super easy to ride! Maybe that is just the nature of longboards, but I am a true beginner and I found it very easy to push and turn the board. PROS: - Riding on rough asphalt is nice and smooth. You can still pick up speed pretty easily and the wheels absorb a lot of the shock from the road. - The grip on the deck is good and not too grabby. - The design of the board is top notch. - The bearings seem to be pretty good. CONS: - The trucks are really loose out of the box. I tightened them and they still have a lot of play in them. I’ll try tightening them all the way and see if that helps. - The kicks are relatively small. If you are new to longboards(like me), it will seem like you need a good amount of force to kick the board up. Definitely not as easy as a regular skateboard. All in all, this is a pretty good board for a beginner. You will automatically feel confident after hopping on the board for the first time and rolling without falling off the board. On a side note the deck has plenty of flex. I’m 215lbs and get a lot of flex from the deck. My daughter is about 75lbs and only gets a little flex from the board. But it is probably still enough flex to carve effectively. Final evaluation: The board is worth buying. You’ll be pleased.

> 3 dayI do love the board but had it crack on me. Must have for beginning riders. I feel like this was a fluke issue with the board. I will contact seller and tell them my issue. Update!!!!!! I told magneto about the cracked board and now they sent me a WHOLE replacement for the board. I will stick with this company for awhile they care about the consumer!
