> 3 dayI 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

> 3 dayI purchased this board on 6/3/18 When I first received it I had an issue with getting the wheels and bearings off of the trucks. So I deployed tools to try and remove them, so I could replace the bearings with Reds, but in the end was only able to get 3 of the 4 wheels off. The one that stayed was the right side of the front trunk. I wrote quite a review for Magneto and returned that board. And to my surprise magneto actually reached out to me! And said they wanted to send me a new board on them! When I received the replacement board with the same problem describe above. I contacted magneto and they sent me one replacement truck and now the board works as it should. But I’ve still gone ahead and replaced the bearings with reds, and the bushings and wheels with orangutans. Now the board carves like a dream and looks even better! But it costs $130 for the board and $95 for the Reds and Orangutans to get to this point. The problem is while this product looks awesome. And that is exact the reason I was so eager to receive it. Other than the deck this board uses low quality parts. The bearings do not roll like skate bearings, the wheels are of Moderat quality, the bushings lack control and squeak a lot, but most frustrating! Some of the trucks were made to the wrong specifications. Making it impossible for you to remove the wheels and bearings. Particularly the right side on the front truck! It’s slightly cone shaped so you can put the bearings on but you can’t take them off. But on the other hand magneto seems to stand by their products and so far the communications I have had with magneto and their customer service is top notch! And what I would expect from a company like Apple or Keurig. Not a skateboard company, I thought all company’s had given up on their customers. But I guess not magneto! And if you’ve made it this far and still want the board I say “JUST DO IT” that deck is worth the potential problems and even if they do occur Magneto will be there to help you resolve it. I just suggest trying to remove the wheels once you get it to ensure your board is not affected by this problem too.

> 3 dayI bought this board for casual use and it adds a lot of fun to my dog-walking activity. So pushing around on a flat surface for approximately 5 miles a day. I love everything about the design. For me, the board has a perfect weight, nice flex, smooth ride, and overall excellent performance, but after only two weeks of riding the deck developed several long cracks. Given I am 210lbs, but I only use it to go straight on a flat surface of Illinois flatlands. Rolling down a small hill at approximately 10 mph was the craziest thing I did on this board. Very sad, because if not for the aforementioned flaws this is a really great board. Given the amount of 5-star reviews I am willing to give it a benefit of a doubt, maybe I got a lemon. Update: Ive reached out to Magnetostore and within minutes got a response. They requested some pictures of the damage and got back to me the next day saying that the replacement board is being shipped the same day. The replacement board arrived by FedEx in less than a week, even though Ive only asked for the deck to be replaced Magnetostore sent me the entire new board. Given the speed and quality of the customer service Ive received, I believe a 5-star review is in order.

> 3 dayBought this board as a birthday present for my 9yo son who has been skateboarding on and off for about two years. Weve mostly been going to a skatepark because the pavement in front of our house is a little rough. This long board is totally different - its big wheels and smooth bearings roll right over the rough pavement and even small obstacles like sticks and leaves. After about ten minutes of practice and some adjustment of the trucks, he was carving down the street with a big smile on his face. Now he can enjoy skateboarding without me having to find time to drive him to the skatepark plus hes getting a jump on his snowboarding skills for the winter. I am not a skater but from what I can tell, the board seems well-built for the price.

> 3 dayIts 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.

> 3 dayIm new to skating, specifically cruising and I gotta say this board was easy for me to ride. I started off with a 27.5 mini cruiser and found it to be to small. im a 6ft 190lbs man so I needed something bigger and wider so I can feel more stable. I ordered the 38 by 9 magneto board and it was perfect. The Magneto packaging is good, nice and compact, and the board is pretty much ready for use right out the box. I did listen to a couple of reviews about checking all the bolts to make sure nothing is loose and had to tighten the trucks a little and the bushings (optional depending on how tight you like them). Other than that, the board is nice and easy to ride. PS: The quality of the bearings and wheels seem fine to me but I am a beginner and this is my first longboard so I dont really have much to compare. Update: 9/27/18 So ive had this board for about 2 weeks now and I learned a lot since then. I bought some new bearings (heady shake) and right away felt the difference. I also bought new wheels (bigfoot mountain cruisers) which are bigger and harder (76mm, 80a verses the stock 70mm, 78a) and it made the board faster and smoother. Now I can comfortably say that the stock bearings are decent and worth upgrading considering theyre cheap to buy. As for the wheels, if you want to ride faster, id recommend buying some bigger wheels that are a little harder. Still dont know enough to have a firm opinion about the trucks/bushings but they seem good to me.

> 3 dayThis is my first long board and I had much hesitation buying the board online. I received the board very well packaged and it works great for a beginner longboard. The bearing that came with the board are not the best they do not roll very freely. I changed them out for Bones Big Ball bearings and the performance increased. I then changed the wheels and the trucks to Gullwing Chargers and the board is just an awesome board that rolls and turns real nice. I have a lot of fun with it. The board is great for the price I Think Magneto could provide better bearings for the same price of the board and it would be perfect the way it comes.

> 3 dayI am 24 years old and decided that I wanted to try and longboard. It is something that I wanted to do as a kid but I wasn’t fortunate enough to have gotten one. I did some research and found this board to be the best for the price range. When the package arrived I noticed that the box the board came in was ripped and looked like it had been tossed around pretty hard. I opened that box and inside was the board wrapped in a plastic bag and nothing else. No paperwork of any sort, which I found strange but I didn’t think much of it. Finally I get to the board. I take it out of the plastic bag and I am just amazed at the quality and look of the board. This is my first board I have ridden but I can say that this is a very smooth riding board. One thing that I noticed was that all eight screws that hold the trucks were loose. I had to tighten them up. One thing I am going to upgrade is the bearings but the wheels, trucks, and boards itself are made of great quality.
