This board is incredible. The only thing about this board i didn't like was how is was shipped to my house, The box looked horrible and had tears and 2 holes here and there but opening it..... It was in perfect condition. The trucks, wheels, and bearings that came with it performed like a dream. The trucks were a little stiff but i had to loosen a little. Its perfect for cruising and carving. The board is made of 8 ply Canadian maple so its strong and has the flex if you want it. The wheels are a little soft so they are good for a beginner. If you want more out of it them upgrade the wheels or trucks. It is beautiful and looks awesome, the graphic has no blank patches or fading, mud and dust wash of easily. The grip tape is good and the board has a slight concave so your feet will lock on to the board. I looked on Google for a review on the board so i could know if the parts that came with were any good. I found no reviews but I saw other websites selling this and the highest i found this for was 120.00 dollars. The same board here cost [...] bucks while on other websites it cost 90 to 120 bucks. Its worth the buy, nothing on this board is cheap except of coarse the price. Buy it!

This longboard arrived at my door 3 days after buying it, I was very happy at how fast it got to my house, and even more satisfied on how awesome this board is, the board length is 46 inches so its very stable at high speeds, the trucks need to be loosened (to whatever feels good to you while riding) but the trucks are good once loosened to your liking, the wheels are a smooth ride and so are the bearings, the wheels are soft so dont try sliding with them, but they are good for cruising and and carving, the bearings really suprised me because I thought abec 5 bearings werent that great, but they are smooth and this board goes fast if u kick off a few times, even on a flat street, I have nothing bad to say about this board, its exactly what I wanted, although its not meant for sliding, it is possible to slide with this board with harder wheels, but its going to be harder because its longer, other than sliding, this board is great for cruising and carving and having a good time, I am having a great time with it so far and its a great price, Highly recommended

It arrived 5 days after it arrived, the box it came in had a small hole but did not damage the board what so ever. I took it out and noticed i had to loosen the trucks, so I did and after that it rode BEAUTIFULLY. It was a little bigger than expected but had no problem riding it for the first time. If you are a beginner i HIGHLY recommend this for your first time board, for the price (70$) it is a very good quality board. The graphic is much better looking in person, I thought it would be something boring, but in person the board graphic is much much better. It is only made out of maple so i don't recommend doing tricks on it but it is a board meant for cruising and carving. I give the board a 5 star and recommend this to any beginner who is thinking bout longboarding, even me i started having second thoughts bout it but one i started riding i knew i was going stick wit it.

I bought this board about 2 months ago. I was so excited about getting this board and I didn't have to wait long for it to arrive at my house. Despite what the others say, the box was in perfect condition. The board has great grip tape and the graffics on the board are even better looking in person. The trucks are a little tight so I had to loosen them up a lot because I like to ride them loose. It goes very very very fast and you barely even need to push this board and it will keep rolling for a long time. The turning even though I loosened it a lot it still doesnt't turn on a dime but no longboards do. The wheels and trucks make no noise and it is an extremely smoothe ride. The dirt comes right off the smoothe and rough part on the top of the longboard with water or just a rag. There are absolutly NO PROBLEMS with this longboard so far or anytime in the future.

Well your thinking about getting into long boarding? But you dont want to spend a fortune to see if you like it? Well this board is your answer. when i first looked into this board i was a little weiry because most of the reviews were from parents that had bought the board for there seven year old... but i took a chance and bought it. when it got here the box was slightly beat up but what do you expect from Fedex ground? it wasnt marked fragel so they tossed it around from truck to truck. however when i opened the box the board was wrapped several times in buuble wrap which wasnt that neesisary but it just goes to show the shipper wanted to make sure it was in god condtion for us the consumer. Now when you first get it out of the box the trucks are extreamly stiff, this will not do, youll need to loosen them a tad. the reason there so stiff is so that they wouldnt be damaged during the shipping process.
now the actual board review. when i jumped on the board the first thing i noticed is that its sturdy as hell, you would need to try very hard to break this board. next the trucks arent that well made but will work perfectly fine for when your first strting out. when you get a littlle better and want a somtther ride you can always swap for some better ones. now the bearing are the only thing i reccomend you change before you even ride it becasuse the bearings on this board are aweffull, so go to a local skate shop or add to your cart some Bones Reds Skateboard Bearings there only like 15 bucks and are the best for that price. now the wheels are great if your not going to be power sliding. these wheels are for carving hills at high speed or cruising around town.

Once you get those new bearings in you'll be ready for pretty much everything on this board. what i do with it is mainly ride hills. and im not talking small little hills. i live on a lip of a pretty large valley and ive been clocked at 45 mph so far on this board. it had minimum speed wabbles and like i said it has excellent grip so the board wont slide out from under neath you. i sont recommend this with out a helmet though just in case.
but its not only good for riding hills. my friend and i also go on rides just around town on flat ground and little hills , one push will get you a long way with this board so its really easy to ride.
also disclaimer ( i have only beed long boarding for a couple of months, but ive been snowboarding for 8 years, and this guy feels a lot like a snow board, so thats why i picked it up so fast, if you have no experience in any board sport dont expect to be riding monster hills in a few days. im not saying you cant eventually it just takes a lot of time and practice.
i hope you found my review helpful.

I am by no means an expert in skateboards, but I am a 41 year old who wanted to get back into riding with my son. After buying a small starter skateboard for my son, trying to show him how to ride the board was getting scary since the smaller boards felt it would break from my weight. I am 185 pounds and wanted to ride comfortable without fear of the board breaking or just myself losing balance. I figure I would go with a long board for the stability and the fact I never owned one. After shopping around, I decided on this board since I was looking to start with the longest board I could find with enough layers to hold my weight. I wasn't looking to pay "extra" for radical artwork and I liked the simple look of this board. The reviews were good and had a midrange on the price. I chose standard shipping, so it took the normal 4-5 days to arrive. The package came undamaged and I couldn't believe how large the board was. Too excited to change into proper attire, with my work clothes on I set off my driveway giving one hard push off. The speed the board generated going down my driveway, I easily cruised some ways down the street without having to give another push. Other than having to loosen the trucks a bit to allow for sharper turning, the board rode well from the go. For my purpose this board will do just fine. It doesn't turn on a dime, but it's a fast cruiser for sure. It's holding my weight and I am having a blast riding it around my street.

I got this board in good packing in a plastic wrapping and i have loved riddinjg it. There has been no problems with it at all.

This is my first longboard, i just bought it about a week ago, it is super nice for the price. it rides great right out of the box. But you might want to eventually get new bushings and bearings for it, but those are pretty cheap. All things considered this board is great, perfect for beginners.

I bought this board for my husband for xmas. When the board arrived the end was sticking out of the cardboard box and was a little scratched, no big deal I guess. It'll take more abuse when ridden. The board itself is nice and stable, able to hold a grown manand it looks nice too. Nice wheels, pretty soft and sticky tho. The biggest dissappointment was the bearings-kinda slow. Living in a FLAT town you pretty much have to push-push-push-ride so we had to replace the bearings in order to get around.

This board rides like a champ. I should probably loosen the trucks, but anytime I begin to I end up just going out and riding it. The wheels are pretty big and pretty soft, so you can't slide. Although, what you can do is fly down a hill knowing that if you hit a rock the board will handle it perfectly, or if there's a sharp turn at the bottom of the hill you can lean right into it without fear of hitting something and the wheels slipping. I mean this is only my second board, so I'm not big on sliding yet, so the board is perfect for me. I'm guessing that most people wanting a pintail aren't into sliding anyway, since I thought sliding was primarily done on downhill boards. Actually, you may want to rethink this board unless you've got some great hills around. Because I live in the piedmont, where it's all hills, and most of them are just plain boring now because the board gives me so much confidence. As for the deck, the wood is nice and strong with a slight concave that makes for great grip. The design pretty ballin. It's real simple with no tacky words or anything the sort. My friends actually got kinda upset when I showed them my board. They had spent 200-400 bucks on theirs and I ended up getting one for 70(I think it's 75 now) that's better quality.
There are only a few problems with the board, but they were mostly just little worries I had because I expected it to be a cheapo board in the back of my head. the first problem I had with it was that when I leaned the board far in one direction it would make a sound like the wood was cracking, but my friend told me most new boards do that until you break them in(This is my first unused longboard.) The second problem arose when one of the wheels was wobbly(just enough for a critical buyer to notice.) So I got all bent out of shape, but it turns out all it takes to fix that it to get a wrench and tighten the screw on the wheel. Finally, my only wish is that it had a little rise in the tail so I could flip the board around when changing directions dramatically, but I'm pretty sure that's just a pintail thing, and doesn't relate the board itself.
And oh can it go fast.
