> 3 dayBefore I bought this I had a very bad skateboard and I could never just ride along with my friends, after this I’m a head of all of them. When it first arrived I noticed the back picture wasn’t exactly like it was in the original photos but it was close, just more of a dark blue than black. Pros: good turning, Good balance, Easy to adjust, good grip on tape, rides over bumps easily, can run over leaves small rocks and small sticks pretty easy with speed. Cons: some small bubbles in grip tape, “playshion” logo isnt in the middle, some small scrapes on back design and grip tape. But the grip tape bubbles are pretty easy to fix, just cut a line into it and spread it out. Also the cuts on the back aren’t too bad and will probably get worse as I ride. I would suggest tightening the parts of the board before riding as it’s pretty loose. It’s good for beginners and intermediate riders, catches speed fast on smooth roads. It does bend a bit when stepping in the middle but not too much for my weight (150 pounds). The pictures included are after about 2 weeks of riding so ignore the dirt as it did not arrive like that. Last comment: I paid 200$ Canadian and then when it arrived and then it became 85% off. Was not impressed. Guess I was just unlucky. So if you are not in a rush, wait for the price to go down.

> 3 dayits an awesome beginner board, Ive used it through the quarantine and all you need to do is occasionally tighten it when it starts making noises and clean it whenever you get the chance. Ive gotten other boards since but this one is the best.

> 3 dayHonestly, 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. :)

> 3 dayProduct is great and was a reasonable amount for a beginner boarder. I purchased to spend time with my 18 yr old daughter. Board is balanced and easy to maneuver. Wheels and trucks that were standard are just fine for a beginner adult rider. Shipping container was not as expected upon delivery but seller was amazing in their response time and very willing to make things right! I highly recommend Funshion/ Playshion and their longboard product.

> 3 dayOutstanding board for the price. Im a beginner and this board was forgiving yet capable. It turns really well with the trucks being just stiff enough for me (Im 175lbs). Because it is so stable, Im already learning how to move my feet around to carve better turns or get more speed while pushing. The bearings are very smooth btw, almost too smooth for a complete beginner. The board shot out from under me the first time I tried it. Once I got used to it though, I appreciated how easy it was to keep the wheels rolling. I could even carve little turns to build speed, based on the tuning of the trucks relative to the boards flexibility and bearings smoothness. Also yes, it really is 6.6lbs, very light and convenient.

> 3 dayI decided to take up longboarding, and knew Id need a basic, beginners board to bang up and scratch as I learned. This board was everything I needed to learn on. Its stable and responsive. I tightened the bushings in the beginning for even more stability, and loosened them over time. The grip tape is definitely grippy, even when it gets wet or dirty. Even better, this board comes with a skate tool! Keep in mind though, youre getting what youre paying for. Two of my wheels dont spin quite as well as the others, and after getting Bones Reds bearings to replace the ABEC-9 bearings it came with, it seemed the problem was more with the trucks. Also, after riding for a few days outside, I discovered the front truck had bent upward already, making the front wheel hover a tiny bit off the ground--not the most durable. Still, the board handles well, and I have no other complaints! Overall: Great for beginners, inexpensive, free skate tool. Bang up a cheap board until you learn the basics, then graduate to a better board!

> 3 dayAfter riding this board for about two weeks I highly recommend it! This is a really nice board for beginners as well as intermediates, the ride is smooth and fun. I let people whom never tried it before have a go, and they said it feels very stable, doesnt take much time to get used to and its lots of fun. Go get one for yourself, you wont regret it!

> 3 dayI will start off by saying I have never skate/longboarded. But I was super exited to get this board . Got it in two days with prime . First, this thing is built pretty well. I have already Sorens about 2 weeks with it and its going really strong with a lot of abuse. Based on how it looks it will last a really long time. I would suggest that u loosen the trucks to make carving and turning easier as out of the box its pretty stiff . The bearing are pretty good but I can sense that they are not eh best but definitely worth it . The wheels are great . If you are looking for a great board to start with I HIGHLY recommend it .

> 3 dayThe Playshion Freeride has been a great board the last few days that Ive had it. Its my first longboard so even though I dont have anything to compare it to, its been very easy to learn on. I also love the design. Its very simplistic but the wheels really stand out. Im also a big fan of the simple geometric design on the back. The board is everything I expected it to be. It looks great, feels great, was packaged very well and I would recommend it to anyone. Its a fantastic board that is priced very well, a great value! NOTE: the photo attached was taken after a few hours of riding with pretty dirty shoes. The board arrived sparkly clean.
