> 3 dayOld fat guy getting back into a boarding after 40 years. Just looking to cruise, and have a fun alternative form of transport. This is a great package, and I think worth a lot more than I paid. Love the flex of the board, the trucks are very good, bearings are great - theyre fast but that balances out the higher rolling resistance of the soft wheels. For my 280# though, the wheels were a little too soft and showed a fair amount of wear with just a modest amount of cruising. Dont let the lack of grip tape put you off. The grit they have on this board is every bit as good as grip tape. Not lack of confidence in the footing on this board, but time will have to tell the tale of how durable this material/method is. But those soft wheels, long, flexy board, its a cadillac smooth ride, shaka!

> 3 dayGrip tape qc. They can do better. Bouncy and firm for cracked streets and driveways. If on smooth tarmac whoo ride is like riding on air. Takes getting used to of you are familiar with shorter boards.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayWhere to start.... I was looking for a board for heavy riders, I’m 5’10” 245. Did some research and after reading reviews I picked this board. Most, if not all, the reviews you read are sponsored by the company, you get a free shirt for 5 star review. And you can get the same longboard online from magneto website by looking “longboard bamboo “ on google for $30 less then amazon. And if you try and return the board, you have to pay shipping and that is gonna run you about $30 -$45 The board came in about 3 days. Looks good out the box. Box was a little damaged, but the the kicks came with foam taped to them. The board was tight, trucks were tight, and wheels to tight to kick and cruise without a lot of effort. After I loosened up the trucks it was easier to carve. and the bearings I loosened up but it wasn’t enough til I cleaned them and lubed them with ceramic oil from Bronson bearings co. They roll better for sure but I still replaced them and eventually the wheels because they are horrible. I used soap shavings on the bushings and pivot cup to help with some squeaking I keep Hearing. Even my 10 yr old daughter and 140 pound girlfriend still make the board squeak. Over all, I’m not satisfied with this board. To learn on get a retrospect longboard, valador or quest longboard for cheaper. This board has amazing flex but squeaks crazy. The wheels are not the best and tbh probably the worst I’ve ridden. I upgraded the bearings with heady shake speed bearings, and the wheels with orangatangs cuguamas for a better ride. But for that price I could have just got a landyachtz or sector 9 board

> 3 dayMy child recently became interested in longboatding but neither of us know anyone close to us rhar skates. Magneto had very explanations of each of their boards, and it helped! The Hana is perfect with the right amount of stability, stiffness, and control. Very smooth ride. Everyone in the fam wants one now!

> 3 dayAt 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.

Greater than one weekExactly as promised. Great deck, trucks, wheels, and bearings. I wanted a cruiser board for riding the asphalt trail a few miles to downtown. Great for me.

> 3 daySummary: -Great price for the quality of board. -Really fun to ride, it flexes good. -Needs tightening upon getting it, I recommend buying a skate tool with it. -Portable and the 38.5 board is perfect for someone 59 This board is amazing! No sugarcoating it, the board is a great buy for the quality of the board. Ive had the board for a month now and it is my first longboard. I started learning how to board last semester of college on my friends board. I decided that I wanted to invest into a starter board but didnt want to break the bank. This board is perfect in all the aspects I need it to be. The board is a perfect fit for someone my size; 59 and around 190lbs. Its perfect for getting to classes and back on a college campus. Really fun, and I recommend this board. This is a great board for people who know they want to get into longboarding but dont want to break the bank!

> 3 dayI love the look and feel of this board. It’s got good flex and a smooth ride. The stock bearings aren’t horrible, but I switched them out for Bones reds anyway. The only drawback has been the appearance of some stress cracks down the top of the board. I’ve only had it for about a month, and I don’t ride it too hard, so I’m a little disappointed.
