Drop Down Longboard Complete Cruiser 41.25" x 10" w/Premium Black Grip Tape, Heavy Duty Aluminum Alloy Truck, 71mm Longboard Wheels, and ABEC-9 Bearings

I’m learning how to ride a longboard as a middle-age right of passage. Actually, I don’t want to keep my bike in my car as a skateboard is much more compact, but I digress... This is a great beginner board and it’s totally on you to take it to the next level, it needs some tweaks! First, put some Mach 1 78’s on this thing to increase your speed and clearance. SPEED IS SAFETY, the faster your board THE EASIER IT STAYS UNDER YOUR FEET. With new wheels come new bearings, spend the $20 for a set of Bones bearings. I just doubled the cost of your board. Adjust accordingly. Next, you’ll need to turn. It still won’t carve 100% until you adjust the trucks and bushings, some cone bushings $5-$10 will help, but if that’s not enough you may need some trucks with more carve in them. I just loosened the nut on mine as much as I can safely go and I still can’t pull a u-turn on a standard neighborhood street, you’ll want to look up an upgrade that will help you lean into the turns. This is very important as there’s no kick on this thing and it’ll take a while before you’re comfortable with a slide. Before any of that happens, you gotta carve the turns. I’m using mine to commute a couple miles through a midtown neighborhood with gentle hills and light traffic. I’ve been riding for two months and I’m still watching YT videos and dialing it in. In time, this will be one of the best and most versatile boards on the market, but it needs to be tuned for what your needs are and your current skill level! Hope that helps!

Not bad... took it cruising right out the box no left or right turns on anything! Really stiff!!! My 9 year old was not scared of it at all... after five mikes on this she when on a real cruiser!

41 year old Mom. I decided to skateboard again after 3 decades because my 9 year old is really enjoying his board and I thought it would be nice for us to ride together. Even though I showed him a few tricks on his Yocaher he was still scared I'd hurt myself so he asked me to go the "safe route" and get a long board. Poor lad is still learning. This board is sick. It's solid and ready to ride as soon as you take it out of the box. The trucks and wheels didn't need to be messed with, they were perfect. The wood selection for the board is great. The grip tape is...well it's grip tape...on a long board...not doing tricks, but it works to keep your feet planted. Super smooth and fast. Nothing bad to say at all and definitely worth the price.

I have been skateboarding from 12 to 17 and then I gave that up for snowboarding and this season will be the 25th season. I bought this longboard because I wanted to get into it after seeing the kids around town flying around on these incredibly cool boards. Even for someone as experienced as I am on board, I believe this was a perfect purchase because I didn't spend $200 or more without knowing that I really want to see this through. I gave four stars because of the obvious the bearings and bushings that are super low quality ( your basically just paying for the wood anyway) . However for a mere $15 you can upgrade to name brand bushings and Bones Reds bearings which is what I just did today. Holy crap, speed wise its a night and day difference . I want to get into bigger Hills and maybe start sliding but at my age I am perfectly fine I'm just carving up the streets for now. Before you go buying a brand name board which is what I normally do. I am one of those people who will spend the extra $100 for the name because I believe you get what you pay for. But in some cases like this it make sense to go mid level before dropping twice the $$. I'm going to keep this one until I run into the ground because the board construction is very solid and I love the shape. The trucks are okay too and will do the job and until they break. I'm not going to complain. Again I recommend buying bones Reds bearings and a medium skateboard bushings when you buy this setup now. IF you wait your only impeding on learning because they really are such a big difference. You will not be disappointed in fact you'll be totally stoked. IN every other review it says that you will want to replace the bearings and bushings and bones are the most inexpensive while being an all around industry standard. Good luck with whatever choice you make and ride on.

Overall this is a great deck with a cool shape, I really like it. Wheels are nice and soft too with a great color! However I received it with several gashes on the nose of the deck, a bent truck king pin bolt and a foot print on the grip tape. There was no shipping scars on the box so it seems this was taken for a joy ride before being packaged. It didn't bother me too much because I bought this board with the intentions of changing the trucks and wheels right off the bat, but it is still disheartening as this is a birthday present for someone. Still think it is a great product and would buy it again with hopes that i recieve one that hasn't been abused before shipment.

This is my first board I bought for cruising. I asked the seller to change it to Red and boy, did I not regret that! It looks amazing. It chips easily though (the top) and the top is unfinished but it's really great for the price. When I'm going fast and cradle side to side, it feels like i'm rocking. Not sure if it's symmetrical but i can't figure which is the top/bottom side. One issue is that the board doesn't seem to go further than my friend's drop-through board which he got for five dollars more. The wheels on his are soft while mine are plastic-y and my wheels are noisy. Even after all of my adjustments and trial/errors, I can't seem to get my board to fly by free-er. After riding for about 30 minutes though, I think I broke the bearing in and it got a little better. All in all, one of my best purchases on amazon! Only thing was that the package was torn and beat up. I personally blame the UPS guy (hence I saw him running away as he run my door bell rather than casually stroll away).

Awesome Board, First time longboard and easy to ride!

Excelente, muy buena calidad en tabla y llantas, recomiendo cambiar los baleros/bearing por unos de mejores.

It could use replacement bushings(probably something softer), and better bearings, but aside from that I'm absolutely thrilled with this board! The deck is much higher quality than I had expected, and the wheels are much nicer than the ones shown in the preview image. It can't quite keep up with my other board in terms of carving and sharper turns, but it's a lot more stable and for the price I'm really impressed. I ended up gifting it to my girlfriend as a starter board and she's been out with me regularly ever since with minimal issues. Definitely recommending this purchase! Just count on picking up some new bearings and bushings in the first couple months, and you'll be golden!

estoy muy contento con la compra

the good: this drop down deck is 9ply and thicker than the Atom 9 ply drop through I have, the Yocaher doesn't flex under my '6"3 225lbs and is great for a 49yr old beginner that doesn't quite have the balance or skill to push off on a top mount deck. The grip is thick good quality and the trucks and bushing and wheels all appear to be good quality. the bad: the bearings are noisy and binding and have no spacers, its an easy swap out. The grip tape was bubbled up on the deck contours, another easy fix just poke with a pin and press it down. the worst: the box it came in might as well have been tissue paper, it was busted open, the deck had broke through and one end of deck was all mashed up and only one end of deck is wrapped in bubble wrap for some protection. I put bump guards on both ends regardless to minimize any damage I might inflict but seriously they should pack this better. overall i'm pleased with this product but if it had arrived with any more damage than it did i would be sending it back
