Review on 46-Inch Maple Dancing Longboard By Volador by Jonathan Lloyd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Probably get something better for a little more

The board has a lot of flexI weigh around 130 and I could really feel itIt is my first dance board so there is a possibility they’re supposed to have a lot of flexI don’t think it would hold up if you tried to do any tricks that impact the board at allIt does have groves that are intended to prevent wheel bite, so you can have your trucks a bit looser for better turningbut they don’t line up with the wheel so you have to have the trucks pretty tightIf you purchase this board definitely check it before you take it out if you don’t want to get thrown on the ground when your bored abruptly stops if your wheel snags on the boardAs far as I can tell the trucks are unbranded they are metal seam sturdy enough (I did purchase new ones From a local skate shop still waiting for them to come in)The wheels are soft and make for a smooth ride however I don’t think they’re perfectly centeredThey do have some wobble to them I thought the bearings might be in crooked but they weren’tThe bearings are so so but at least They aren’t sealed so they can be cleaned and lubricated fairly easilythey glide pretty well on flatThe board has some miner imperfections in the wood but It doesn’t really interfere with the graphic which I do likeOver all someone who is light and just interested in learning some dance steps would probably have fun
