Review on Freeride Longboard Skateboard Junli 41 Inch - Complete Cruiser For Downhill, Carving, Free-Style, And Cruising by Brockington Zuniga

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good starter longboard with options to upgrade

We bought 2 Junli skateboards for our 2 sons (7 and 9) about 6 months ago. As their Dad I have to try out any of their gear for fun.erm safety, prior to giving them the go ahead.I immediately took the skateboard down a neighborhood hill - I hadn’t skated since 92’. I was hooked!My oldest has learned to ride a skateboard with his, my 7 year old is still iffy.As far as quality (I now own several longboards from "pro” brands as well) and I can give you a fair comparison.Overall, Junli makes a great starter longboard and it can be upgraded with pro components in the future (see picture).- The deck: is pretty durable, stiff with a little flex.- bearings: Ok for beginners but definitely could benefit in the future from a $10 pack of skate bearings (replaced).- trucks: decent for what they are - sufficient for beginners, decent turning - bushings are a little weird. They look like Paris longboard trucks to me.- hardware: this is the week point in this skateboard. The bolts come loose more than any other skateboard I have. I think it’s the plastic ring in the locknut is just not so great. This is an easy fix for $5. I don’t really hold this against Junli.As far as upgrades - longboard trucks like Paris 180mm will fit the Junli deck (picture has green Paris trucks). After a couple months of riding consider adding a new set of wheels and bearings - that will prob be fine and keep this board fun for learning riders.Wheels pictured:Remember collective Savannah SlammasGravity longboards orange flo wheels.

Pros
  • With its 41-inch length, this skateboard is perfect for freestyle riding, allowing you to execute spins and flips with ease.
Cons
  • The board's trucks are too loose and make it difficult to control
