VOLADOR Freeride Longboard Cruiser | Maple Wood Deck| Drop Through Longboard Complete

Great looking board. Stiff deck with some camber and a decent amount of concave. Very good for beginners and possibly intermediates. The wheel bearings are not very good (others have also mentioned this or implied it... its true) -- with really poor glide even though Ive setup the wheel nuts with minimal slop and tension. Mine came with black standard bushings (different from the photos in color and shape) and did not ride as I liked or expected, but I replaced mine. The customer service from HONGHENRY DISTRIBUTION is absolutely 5 stars!! I had an issue with the board and they considered my concerns and took care of it ASAP. Really impressive customer service... I would buy from them again. EDIT: Regarding the wheel bearings. Only 1 of the 8 bearing had decent spin. 7 of the others spin for less than 2-3 seconds. This is with the bearings removed from the wheels. Nevertheless, this is a quality beginner to intermediate board for an outstanding price. Even with buying/upgrading the bearings and bushings it is still a great value.

I am giving this product a five star review not because it is the best longboard out there but because it is a great longboard for the money paid. This is my first longboard and I have been riding it for several months now. It showed up on time and was packaged adequately. The board is plenty long to be stable for first time users and the trucks feel very stable. This board is not incredibly fast right out of the box but it is quick enough to get around. I mostly use this board for transportation and have had no issues thus far. The white wheels will get dirty pretty quick but besides that the board is holding up very well and I have been using it daily for close to two months now. I did pay full price for this product and was not paid to write this review. I highly recommend this board to anyone that is either looking into getting a cheap longboard or someone that is unsure if they are interested or not.

Im a beginner at longboarding, but Im not one to just buy something that looks cool/pretty assuming it will be good quality. Ive researched a lot regarding what type of deck would be nice for me, and Ive also asked my friends who longboard what I should go with. My area has a lot of slopes and straightaways, so I wanted a board that would be great for cruising but I also didnt want to break the bank, especially since Im only a beginner. Overall, I just wanted a decent board thats affordable and rides well. This board is honestly a pretty nice ride. I was recommended a drop through deck since these are better for cruising and carving, which is all I want lolol. The wheels are alright, they could be better. I figured I just had to break them in by riding for an hour or so, but I loosened them a bit and that made all the difference. I might replace them with something else soon though. As for the trucks, they are a bit tight at first, so if you really want to make smooth turns without lifting and moving the board with your weight at the back, I suggest getting a skate tool to loosen the trucks. You can just fine tune it to your liking. The design is one of my favorite things about the board! I got the vintage floral design since I love floral print, and I think the design on the grip tape is pretty rad as well. As for the deck quality, I think its pretty good. Im a small and lightweight person (barely 115 lbs) so the board doesnt respond that much to my weight even if I jump on it, so I let my dad (whos always been a fit and burly dude) stand on it and kind of gently bounce on the board, but it definitely holds it own. This is a great size too if you want more stability compared to a regular skateboard, nickel board, or penny board. Like I said, Im small, but this board has a low center of gravity which I freakin love because Im more comfortable cruising on it. If you plan on bombing hills and whatnot though, I suggest changing out the bearings with ones that are designed for a faster ride. Overall, the board is great if youre looking for a starter board and dont want to spend a lot of money. Ive been practicing every other day for 20 minutes at a time for about 2 weeks now, and Im already comfortable with my backyard roundabout area, so now I just gotta take it around the neighborhood. :)

I love this board! As a very clumsy person who has has no poor experience with longboarding, I thought I wouldn’t do well. But this board is super reliable! It’s been only a few days but I’ve been zipping down the neighborhood and down hills around town. It’s very sturdy too ( my dad, around 250lbs, jokingly tried to hop on it, and the board didn’t even cave) . I seriously recommend this to anyone, especially beginners!

I got this board for myself as a beginner long-boarder. I love the board but the graphic on the bottom is a bit more pixelated than shown. Doesn’t take away from the performance of the board though

My 10 year old bought this for her first longboard. Overall it’s pretty good, but had to mark it down a star because 1 wheel had a 1/4” chunk taken out of it but it’s in the sidewall so no effect on the ride and I highly doubt these are abec7 bearings. Other daughters more expensive boards have ABEC 7 and these ones are not as smooth. It’s fine for a 10 year old learner and maybe the lesser bearing keeps her a bit slower anyway. Didn’t contact the seller cause not worth getting a new board since she will bang it up anyway and she likes it. For the money and a learner it’s a good board to buy.

Ive had this board for about a month now, and Ive got to say I have no problems with it. Im new to longboarding, so I hear that replacing the bearings should happen on this board, but Ive been using the default ones, and they work really well. I dont have any reason for me to upgrade them myself because I feel I go fast enough, and any difference I can make with the bearings would be a small improvement. I probably will, but since Im new, Im a-okay with the default ones. Also I was concerned with which board would be able to support me. Im a heavy guy weighing from around 240-250. The weight limit from the manufacturer is 250, and I can confirm that this seems to be the case. I never feel like Im going to break the board. Given that, there is a small amount of flex. This was another thing I was initially converned with when purchasing, but the flex isnt a whole lot. It seems to flex for people of all weights, but not that it flexes on me any more than someone who weighs around 150. I really like the flex so that way it absorbs some of the shock from going over cracks or some pebbles or rough ground. The durability is something that is incredible. As someone who is right at the weight limit, I would expect for a board priced at $60 to have some problems show up, but I can confirm, the ride is just as good as the first day I got it. I ride pretty often, and Ive ridden twice on this route that is 10.5 miles. (I would say Ive ridden somewhere in the ball park of 30-45 miles on my board). Everything is great! One thing however, the wheels are pretty hard, so you should watch out for pebbles while riding. Also because of my extensive riding, my white wheels arent white anymore. Its all good, I might be able to restore its initial color after some time of scrubbing. Also the design is really awesome! Koi fish on the top, and the solar system on the bottom! Couldnt get it better than that! I highly recommend this board especially if youre a beginner like me.

I was not given a discount or a free board for this review. Im new to long boarding and have never really rode except for a Ripstick, but who counts that? The board is flexible but not to the point that it will snap like the other board have. In my opinion it will only snap if youre messing around or pushing its limits. All around though I love it and recommend it to anyone that is also new to long boarding. Ps the bearings are really nice for their price. UPDATE: I had been riding my friends board and felt so good about the board I wrote a review after I ordered my board. Ive changed the review because I ordered mine but it came in blue when I clearly ordered green. Two colors hard to mix up. I was super excited when I got it but as soon as I saw the blue almost all the hype went away. But other than that awesome board. Last the grip tape is not mirrored and so I have to flip the board to show the other side. My friends grip tape and back decal do line up how they should. Ps I dont plan on returning it because I love the board that much.

I got this board for traveling from the dorms to class. While this is my first board and im still learning to ride i can tell that its a bit low quality. On arrival it came with ZERO packaging. Just the board, in a plastic bag, in a box. The first thing that i noticed was the misprint. As you can see from the pic, the decal isnt ruined, but the splotch is pretty noticeable and greatly detracts from the overall appeal. The trucks a pretty soft, having fairly deep gouging after a light scrape on the curb. The last big thing is that the top layer has separated and is now starting to split down the length of the board. I noticed it after just THREE DAYS into daily use, proceeding a minor leg fumble resulting in the board flipping a couple inches and landing on its side. I could never imagine anyone doing tricks on this board without it snapping in half. Maneuverability is good, allowing me to curve around most turns without over/under correcting. My Uni is lightly hilly with intermittent flats, performance on flat ground is OK but can be greatly improved with new bearings so Im told. Downhill is stable and picks up speed very well. Uphill is not to be bothered, expending more energy then is worth it, but i could just be a noob. Overall, good starting board, will definitely upgrade to something better at some point.

great starter board, served me well for months until I cracked it doing something dumb and decided to get a new one. survived the crash and still works though, would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get into longboarding
