Wonderful Starter Board

My friends and I all decided to get longboards at the same time and develop a new hobby this year; they spent 150-250 on theirs. The quality on theirs was not much better if not equal to the board sent after my purchase here. It's a great starter board; the turning isn't too sharp, it can go at high speeds without wobbling too much. My only issue is that my wheels aren't as high quality as you'd expect them to be but that's alright, they're still great once you're used to them. Overall 10/10…

Pros
  • Skates, Skateboards & Scooters
Cons
  • The board may not be suitable for certain riding styles, such as freestyle

Longboard is good on my review.

Came with some cracks in the board, trucks and wheels should be changed when getting for a better ride but the deck is solid and great for anyone who is just starting out!

Pros
  • Offers a smooth and comfortable ride without sacrificing speed
Cons
  • The trucks may be difficult to adjust without proper tools

Great first longboard

Bought this on whim right at the start of quarantine in March and this thing has held up amazingly. It’s super easy to learn and the trucks are easy enough to loosen or tighten. The deck is pretty bendy which I don’t mind, and it steers easily. I’ve since replaced the wheels with better ones but the wheels it comes with are perfectly fine. It scratches semi easily but I’m rough with it and the scratches haven’t hindered its otherwise awesome quality. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a…

Pros
  • Comes with high-quality bearings for superior performance
Cons
  • The board may be more prone to chips and cracks due to its wood construction

Pros
  • ‎LONGBOARD
Cons
  • The board may be prone to scratches and minor damage

Change your bearings

This is my first time riding a longboard. Like others have said, the board has plenty of flex but I grew up on a fiberglass board decades ago, so this doesn't bother me. It actually helps to absorb bumps and provide stability in my opinion, like a shock absorber. I'm 6'2" and about 210 and reasonably athletic for a well-seasoned dude and I'm quickly becoming comfortable on this deck. Other reviews have noted the tight plastic wrapping upon delivery, but mine arrived in a large clear bag. My

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting design
Cons
  • The bearings may require regular cleaning to prevent rust

Feels very safe to ride!

I am 42 years old and decided to take up longboarding so I began researching for a safe but fun longboard to purchase. After a few days of research, I set my eyes on the Volador 40-inch Maple Longboard - Basic Cruiser. And I'm glad that I did! I find this board to be very sturdy and long enough to feel safe and comfortable while practicing your balance. Easy to turn left or right by simply tilting between the heels of your feet or your toes. Most importantly, it feels safe practicing on it…

Pros
  • Offers a great way to stay active and get some fresh air
Cons
  • The design may not be eye-catching or unique enough for some riders' preferences
