SImilar to Mark's review, I am an old skater that has never owned a longboard. I also bought mine both for walking my dog, and for teaching my kids to skate. I've been skating for over 30 years and have owned my fair share of skateboards. I was very surprised by the quality at this price point. The quality is better than a lot of complete boards I have paid $100 for. It came fully assembled and ready to ride. The board feels substantial, but isn't too heavy. The trucks and wheels are very good quality at this price point. The trucks were a little too loose for my taste right out of the box, so with a little tightening they were good to go. Not the best bearings I have ever ridden, but far from the worst. The wheels are really nice, much softer than I am used to riding on my old 80s boards! I was also surprised at the effectiveness of the gritted wood top as opposed to regular grip tape. All in all, this is a great board and I am very happy I purchased it!

I really don't know where to start with this review, but I am currently 50 years old, and I have been riding skateboards for around 44 years, starting with the old skinny plastic cheap ones. (you know, the one you got your first set of stitches at the doctors office from?) The last skateboard I bought was in the 1980's, and was one I used on the street as well as on the old, rotting, plywood, back yard half pipes and quarter pipes back in the day. I think I spent over $300 on the last board I had after I had upgraded the bearings, trucks, wheels, etc. I started riding my 30+ year old skateboard recently while walking my dog, and she really enjoyed being able to run all out at times with me instead of just having to walk at my pace. I decided to get a longboard, but never having ridden one, I was looking for an affordable option. I have to say that when I opened the box, I was really surprised. The natural finish with the grit built in on the top, the beautiful finish of the natural wood and bamboo, and the overall cut of the board made it seem as much like a work of art as a skateboard. This board may not satisfy the needs of an experienced, hardcore longboarder, but I took it out for 6 miles of flat and hills with my dog tonight to break it in and give it a few scuff marks. It was stiff enough to handle well, but flexible enough to give a nice ride. I am not sure about the brand or quality of the trucks and wheels, but after adjusting them to suit my riding taste, I found the ride smooth, and the handling to be more than adequate for my needs. I have had a ton of skateboards in my lifetime, and you always have a couple that you just throw in your car at all times just in case you see a great place to skate. This is one I see spending a lot of time occupying the back seat of my car when it isn't needed for human passengers. I definitely see this as a great starter or mid range long board, and the price makes it an awesome value. I have seen more expensive boards that didn't look or ride as good, so I took a chance by ordering this one online mainly based on price and appearance. If you are an old school skater that is looking to break into longboarding, I would definitely recommend this board for you. I also would like to say that the seller got this to me super fast, in great condition, and I would recommend this seller to anyone. That's about it, Skate or Die!!! (i'm still an 8 bit guy at heart!!!) Hope my review helps!!!
