Type of review

This is a solid board, especially for the money. There's really nothing that needs replacing or upgrading if you're a beginner or intermediate. Simply take it out of the packaging and drive off. I haven't skated in over 30 years and I jumped on this thing and it all came back to me. The low center of gravity and easy handling also make a big difference. I'm glad I chose this board after looking at several others. Perfect choice and I would buy it again without hesitation.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Old model

210 pounds / beginner longboarder

I've had about 40 hours of board so far. As a 210 lb person new to longboarding, this thing fully supports my weight, looks cool and rides very smoothly. The drop deck design makes it a lot easier to balance than my standard cruising longboard (that's why I bought it). The deck, carts and wheels appear to be of good quality. I ended up loosening the wheels a bit and tightening the carts but it still handled perfectly since it was in the box. Would definitely recommend to any heavier…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • No instructions

Solid board but changed bearings

I've had this board for about a month now and love it. The trucks were a little tight when he arrived but I loosened them up and now they're just neat. The deck is solid with almost no flex and the griptape is very grippy. This is my first board but even I can say the bearings are not good. One of the wheels kept locking and I almost got thrown off several times. Do yourself a favor and buy this board, but also buy a set of Bone's Reds and replace the bearings…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • So far so good

Don't waste your time, seriously. too many service problems.

look, to be honest. it costs no money. You should save up for a more expensive board. The wheels are TERRIBLE, I put some "oldies" in these stock wheels and they spin for about 15 seconds. These "oldies" are ceramic bearings that cost around $49-50. Just buy new wheels, new carts and you have a better board, but it's not worth the time. My sister is still unhappy with her board, with some red dice in it, it's really a waste of money, I would rate 125-150-250 for a really good board. I have a…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Great board for getting back into skiing

I ordered this board because I was stuck in a coastal town waiting for COVID-19. I wanted to stay healthy, but I hate running and have rollerbladed and skateboarded. I thought it would be a quality board for good practice. Well, my girlfriend liked it so much I had to order a second one and now we're out and about breathing fresh air regularly. I love this board and so do you. It's stylish and very well made. I like the deck, wheels and bearings. Super smooth cruise. As mentioned, you may need…

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Getting done

Can we get one without DEFECT?

The board has a gray surface layer (a rough surface like sandpaper that you stand on) that doesn't bond to the hard surface of the board at the narrow part of one of the curves at the ends of the board. There appears to be a 2-3 inch wide air void and a 1 inch wide gap between the two layers where the material is stretched flat across the surface of the panel rather than being adhered to the surface along the outline of the panel. . The husband just wants to try to glue and clamp it himself…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Lots of things

The best board for the money!

First of all I'm 38 years old and I needed something to keep up with my 12 year old. However, I wasn't sure what to take. Take my word for it, this is absolutely the place to start. I have tried many boards at Tilly's and the drop deck is where it is. For those planning on cruising, the low deck height makes this thing so easy to push off. Plus, there's just enough flex (I'm 6ft 2in and 178lbs) to make the ride awesome. I mostly ride on tarmac, but it also handles concrete well. smooth rolling.

Pros
  • practical thing
Cons
  • I won't say anything
