Just got the board today (it came early actually!) and couldn't be happier with it. I'm using it as my interim board till my Losee is finnished. I had a Sector 9 board before so I wasn't expecting to much for this one. I was pleasantly surprised. The board has really good flexibility for something so stable and lends itself to the tightness of the trucks giving it a better cut than expected. The graphic is darker than it looks with a kind of pearlescent finnish, so inside it looks blue and purple but once it's outside the green comes through, pretty nice really! The trucks are a little tight, as I said, but nothing you couldn't adapt to. The Abec's are smooth (of course) and even though the wheels are small, they cruise nicely. I was going to throw some Sidewinders (trucks) and Orangatangs (wheels) on it when I got it. But a really smooth ride over a five mile stretch (that had some rough patches!) told me I didn't really need to. Kudos to Starlight for making a really quality product at such a cheep price! I will most definitely be enjoying this board even after my Losee is done, it will make a perfect "test run" board for the back canyon rides!

this board is my first board and i LOVE it!. i have named my board. All i needed was to loosen the trucks. really good flex, nice qualities, ready to ride and so much fun!!!!! this board ROCKS!
the only down side is that the box that the board came in was really beat-up but the board was fine!

First longboard, i got this for christmas, so ive had it for a decent amount of time. I dont have many complaints about it. Its an Amazing all around board if its your first one and you just want to get used to it. However, im more for performance, speed, and cruising, out of box this was nice. I bought new bearings (reds) and that made the board 3x better. the free spin of the wheel increased from 8 seconds to 25 seconds. Also, the bushings are a little hard. If you really want to carve and loosen up them trucks, your gonna have to get softer bushings. I also plan on buying new wheels when the ones that came with it get beat up. but the ones that came with it are pretty solid and good for now :D. With these faults why did i give it a 5? because its durable, its fun, its a pintail thats amazing, its a sick board. i would HIGHLY reccomend this.
