1. the wood is very weak.
2. the trucks are very slow.
3. the wheel rims are plastic. I inflated it to the stated PSI, and the rim crushed from the pressure.

I can't believe they are selling this!

the tubes in the tires will not hold air the stems are not in the tubes good the stems can just fall out cheap! cheap! cheap!

I got a beef with people who write reviews poorly. They're those shmucks who think if one part sucks, the whole thing sucks. And its because of them, I almost didn't purchase this. But I said, "What the heck!" and did it anyway. Have I regretted it? No.

To let you know what's up, I'm going to give you my dimensions. I'm 5' 6" and 165 pounds. When I stand on this board, directly in the middle, it flexes and sags a couple of inches. Does this mean that the wood is cheap? Nope. It's mountain boarding, the board does in fact need to flex. I bounce around on that thing all the time doing grabs, its fine. No snap, no problem.

The wheels, don't seem to have any trouble carrying my weight and are easy to inflate. I don't plan on keeping them forever and will some day replace them. I've actually come to terms with the fact that they may break, that's the inherent risk with a sport like this one. I also ride an MBS Core board, on plastic wheels which, someday, will break. It happens.

The trucks could use some better bushings, but that's a small investment and deals a lot with rider preference, however, I did find the polished look of the trucks to be a little "Wal-Marty".

My biggest issue with this board is the binding hooks which stab into my feet in the canvas shoes that I wear. But that's my own fault.

The fact of the matter is, I payed a modest amount of money for this board, and I got what I paid for. So far, its been a rather enjoyable experience. I don't yet have to upgrade anything, but I wouldn't classify this under things I wish I didn't buy.

This board was a wonderful first board for me. I thought the sky hooks lacked a little control as I got better, but for just getting use to the feel of riding on the dirt it was great. I eventually fashioned and my own bindings and used this board for minor jumping and it held up fine under my 185 pond body. This board lead me into the sport of mountain boarding and I now am helping open up a mountain boarding camp.

I'm new to offroad skating....liking it alot. Able to see need for upgrades now, but this is a great board for check'n it out & see'n if your gonna make it worthwhile to start upgrading.... I'm gonna keep & use this one for a while after adding a brake to it...

This board is excellent if you are just begining, yes the rims are plastic but sturdy. If you are careful when filling the tubes on the tires then you'll be fine. It handles well but I would suggest not doing any serious terrain, just small hills and such. It can be made to move faster by lubing the rim axles and using lug lock spray and not screwing the nut on all the way. (the lug lock spray will keep it in place) Again, this board is great for beginners and newbies. It rides fine for me and I'm 150 pounds.

i have to be honest, i bought this for the trucks and wheels to put them on a longboard deck. didn't work out as i thought, but maybe that's because it's not supposed to be a longboard

I have this board, good beginner board. First things first, remove the stupid foot brackets: worthless. I run my dog with this board, great because gravel dont throw your @ss on to the ground. I have no love for longboards or regular skateboards (my knees are destroyed)after riding this contraption. well worth the money if you use it occasionaly. Feels like snowboarding not skating, but hell i can ride down dirt trails onto gravel, then grass back to asphalt.
