> 24 hourFirst review: “Love it. This is my first long board. It arrived in great condition, ready to ride.” Second review: After having the board for a little while I have to edit my review. I’ve barely ridden a mile or less, but the bearings seem to have worn down or something because the board doesn’t glide at all now. My son’s ABEC 3 bearings on a Target store board spin amazing compared to these supposed ABEC 7 bearings. When I spin a wheel by hand, it stops already immediately. I can set the board on my sloped driveway and it doesn’t roll down...not good. I hope the seller/maker will contact me and remedy this ASAP. Final review: Well, I received the replacement bearings and swapped them out. Unfortunately, the new bearings don’t appear to roll much better than the old ones. The board rides smooth, just not as fast as I thought it would. For the price, this board is a pretty good value. Customer service was great. You get what you pay for.

> 24 hourI have had these for a couple of weeks and this is my first longboard. It’s held up nicely so far. I like that it comes with the tool and I also didn’t realize that it comes with stickers which is an added bonus. The trucks were kind of tight but I liked starting out with them a little tighter so I could get used to the feeling of the board. I loosened them up as I felt more confident. It rides pretty smoothly and I have been having a lot of fun with it. This is my first longboard so I have nothing to compare it to but I can at least say it is nice for beginners. Hopefully it will continue to hold up! I would recommend purchasing.

> 24 hourI waited to ride the longboard until giving a review. I noticed some people complained about some wheels not rolling as freely as others, I am here to say that mine arrived in the same manner, but unlike others, I went to Google before complaining on here. The board is not 100% ready to go out of the box, use the Skate T-Tool that is included to adjust the nuts on the wheels, sometimes they are too tight and push the bearings and wheel together slowing it down. Adjust the nut tightness for desired wheel movement, tighten down the screws attaching the trucks to the board and you will be ready to go with a safe, amazing longboard that you can now trust.

> 24 hourI just got this board and am fairly new at longboarding but hooked. This is my second board. My first one was a Retrospect pintail, which I liked, but then I got this board and it was a total game changer. I was falling on my ass everyday and starting to think I just didnt have it in me until I got this board. This thing carves like crazy! I can make really tight turns and the drop-through trucks make me feel closer to the earth and safer. Theres a decent amount of flex, which I personally like, it feels more stable and less rigid than my pintail. Ive actually started picking up some boardwalking tricks which Id never been able to do on the other board. This is like plug and play fun if youre a beginning longboarder.

> 24 hourI havent longboarded in a few years, but Ive wanted to get back into it and spent some time researching my options. This board was consistently well-reviewed so I decided to try it out. The size is perfect for me (Im 53) and it rides really nicely. If youre looking for a solid longboard for a decent price, look no further!

> 24 hourThe first board I received had wooden splinters on the side and chips in the top layer. As soon as I put in for an exchange, the company sent me a replacement that I received in 2 days. I would highly recommend buying a nice longboard from this company.

> 24 hourThis is an awesome board for the price! I have had it a little over a month and put at least 100 miles on this thing, it is a joy to ride. There are some things that it requires - lubing the bearings, adjusting the trucks, lubing the bearings again, but for the price it is totally worth it. I live on an island in the Caribbean and this is now my preferred form of transportation when I am by myself. I would not recommend for higher speeds because it gets a little unstable above 35 mph, but for just kicking around town it is a blast and you cant beat the price. One negative thing for me is that the wheels a super grippy - I was hoping to be able to drift corners. The wheels are nice for riding rough pavement - most of the island is a bit sketchy but this board does great. I will most likely be buying a few more for friends that have tried my board and love it.

> 24 hourI got this for my 11 year-old and have a different version from the same vendor for myself. We love them. They come out of the box ready and smooth. they are stable and easy to use. The height is great and doesnt require you to bend down too much... this is helpful if you cant do a bunch of pistol squats. Also, with it being lower to the ground my son that is learning can focus on balancing.

> 24 hourThis longboard is incredibly smooth, when it arrived me and my friend went out and tested it. Very windy day so it didnt expect to stay out much, but the wind literally made me go faster than him, and he was on an electric board. I was flying and its very easy to turn with. I havent even adjusted the wheels or the trucks. 10/10 incredibly smooth riding and you fly when theres wind.

> 24 hourHonestly, was extremely nervous going in to buy a long board with limited knowledge. After hopping on for my first ride, all nervousness subsided. Super easy to learn (definitely great for beginners), great balance, sturdy, and even when I wiped out it held together well. :)
