Greater than one weekAfter 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 dayLet me just say, I really love this board. I am fairly new to longboarding. The trucks and wheels aren’t terrible and I felt were adequate for the price. I am learning to longboard with my 8 year old daughter and I rode this about 9 miles (in one day I have rode it several times after that) out of the box, no upgrades. I have since purchased new trucks, wheels, and barrings. Just for my preference. I’m not sure if I would have gotten out cheaper if I would have purchased from a board shop but I’m not complaining. I didn’t want to invest a lot upfront if I ended up not liking it or not being able to longboard. This is a great board for beginners and with a few upgrades it’s a fantastic board, but what comes with it works fine. Not to mention the price is really amazing. So if you’re a newbie and considering a board I highly recommend 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 dayShipping took about 8 days for me. Came in excellent condition, brand new no chips at all. Quality is good. I am 6’3” 260 lbs and it holds me up pretty good. No concern of breaking or anything. Very surprised on how good it is at the price and for my weight. Only thing that it is kind of slow and my roommates quest board let’s you cruise longer. For my first ever board, very happy as a bigger beginner.

Greater than one weekThere was an extra piece of metal on the trucks which caused bearings to get stuck and I threw out my shoulder getting them off. It was easily fixed with a knife but that’s the only reason I’m giving this board 4 stars instead of 5. There is an occasional dent in the wood but that’s to be expected. The trucks and bearings should be replaced over time as with any cheap board. If you get this for a kid make sure the truck axel doesn’t have extra metal because this can be dangerous and possibly stop the wheel, throwing them off the board.

> 3 dayThis is a very well-made Chinese board. I have no real experience with board sports, so having bought this for $60, I have no complaints. I don’t know whether I will want another board as I get more experience, but I’m completely satisfied with this one from the start. Plus, it comes with the necessary tools to do some work on it. Just a note: my board came in through UPS and the box was very damaged. I’m not saying that this is necessarily a bad thing since the board was in perfect condition, but the box had no structural support inside of it. My one gripe would be about the packaging, not the board itself.

Greater than one weekI haven’t go on a skateboard for a long time and decided to adventure myself again, but this time with a longboard. I decided to buy this one because was easier to receive at home and the reviews regarding being good for beginners were good. Well, one month later: I LOVE this longboard. Couldn’t be happier. I’m riding everyday for around an hour and it has been great - it’s definitely good and easy for beginners because of its shape closer to the ground, brings a lot of stability. I improved a lot in a month. Wheels and bearings: also nothing to complain so far. Overall: Great choice!

20-11-2024As an old skateboarder, I find this board to be reasonably stable for downhill riding, as well as, land paddling powered with a Braapstik land paddle. As a man well into his 60s, I enjoy being able to stay fit and have fun at the same time, and this board suits my requirements for the moment.

> 3 dayI just got this board today, and it seems fine. Im taking a star off because the packaging was inadequate and beat up. There was one piece of wadded up paper in the box to act as padding. The board didnt break, but does have a scratch on the paint. Im not going to return it because it will be covered in stickers soon. Just be aware about the packaging risks because theres a chance youll get a broken board in the mail. With the complaint about the packaging out of the way, lets talk about what you get for your money. You get a 39 inch long deck, which is close to the typical 40 or 41 inch drop through deck. I think this length is fine, its not worth the extra 20 bucks to buy a board with a 41 inch deck. The deck is made of maple, and is fairly stiff. Im 160 lbs and can get it to flex when I jump up and down on it, but only a little. Its 8-ply maple, so definitely on the stiffer side. You get 70mm wheels that are 78 durometer- they feel about right in terms of softness. The bearings dont spin great, but they get the job done. You cant get Bones Red bearings on a board of this price. The trucks are 7 wide, fairly standard fare. The bushings seem adequate. No complaints about the trucks or the bushings. The grip tape is grippy. The artwork and branding are a bit cheesy. The white Playshion branding on the grip tape can be fixed with black marker and the bottom can be covered in stickers, so Im not real concerned about the branding. Overall, you get a decent board that will let you try out longboarding without breaking the bank. This is probably the second best/cheapest option to borrowing one from a friend (in my case, none of my friends have a skateboard).
