Review on ๐Ÿ›น MINORITY 40-inch Drop Trough Deck Longboard Skateboard: Ideal for Smooth Cruising Rides by Sam Anez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great starter longboard, padded bushings are better for smaller riders

Longboard arrived quickly and as described which is great. The bushings that came with the board are 78a which is too soft for me (5ft 10in, 220lbs) so I swapped them out for 93a bushings with great results. The 78a hubs are perfect for people up to 125 pounds or anyone who likes a really soft board to ride. I'm not one of those people, but I knew this was going to happen, so there were no surprises for me. Changing the bushings is very simple and straightforward. Good quality wheels and bearings for beginners, people love to talk about switching to better (and faster) bearings but seem to forget that this is a beginner board. While they don't spin as smoothly or as fast as branded bearings, they also help you build confidence and skill before picking up speed. I would recommend at least a few walks before you even think about changing bearings. Do a few sessions on a board with stiffer bushings and there have been no reports of cracks or chips on others and again, I'm HEAVY on this board. For the money I don't think you could have a much better starting point.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Unusable features
