(skip this paragraph if you don't want to know my experience longboarding):
I'm six feet three inches tall, 160 pounds. I've been long-boarding for about three or four years. Most of the time I am just cruising however anytime I can throw in a quick shuvit or colemanI love to. I can easily do a crouching heel-side 180 without slide gloves and can occasionally land the standing variant. If the need arises I have no problem going off a curb. I have ridden down many grassy hills (and made it to the bottom). I avidly avoid water. That is where I draw the line. It does nothing good to the board. However, wet concrete is fantastic for learning power-sliding. I never do true downhill, keep my trucks very loose, and am always just going with the flow.
DETAILED BOARD REVIEW
(skip this section if you aren't interested in a detailed description of the longboard):
Deck - People, you are only paying $100 for this. Don't expect much. When I received mine it was actually warped, causing the board to sit unevenly on the ground. This has caused very uneven wear on the wheels (see wheels for more info). However it has not affected my actual ride at all. Something else that seriously surprised me about this board was how flexible it is. I was not expecting this at all and was actually shocked when I stood on it for the first time in my room. I am brutal with my decks. I like to push myself when I am riding and bail often. In only 1 year I have smashed the front of this board all the way down to the edge of the trucks (I ride with the "pointy end" forward like many people suggest). While it is true I haven't taken care of it, it surprises me how much I have damaged the front. I often go off curbs which has caused the underside to be extremely scrapped up as well (including the underside of the trucks, between the wheels). I am beginning to see a crack running from the front truck down to the back. So far it is only through the top layer however it is disconcerting.
Trucks - I am not a huge truck aficionado (in fact I've never ridden anything but stock) so I'm not going to make a huge comment here. The bushings are very slightly cone shaped. However they are mostly just cylinders. I keep my trucks fairly loose so I can carve around campus easily. I haven't had any problems with these though I do notice that the front is now considerably looser than the back because I always ride it the same direction.
Wheels - These wheels are 70mm, 78a, completely side-set core, and have a rounded lip. Personally? I absolutely love them. Similar to the trucks, I have never ridden anything but stock for any extended period of time. However, these wheels shocked me. They roll smoothly, but not sticky. The rounded edge keeps them from really grabbing the pavement, but they grip it enough to feel comfortable taking sharp corners on dry pavement with moderate speed. The rounded lip is amazing for a beginner at power-sliding like myself. They are not nearly as soft as the other pair of 78a I have on my pintail making me think they may be more like an 80a. The warped board in addition to my many attempts at power-sliding have turned all four wheels into cones creating a very strange looking board.
Bearings - Wow! Just WOW!!! I am blown away at how well these spin! I have never cleaned them in a year of riding and I am absolutely stunned at how well they spin for stock bearings. The product description says they are ABEC 5, but to be perfectly honest that really doesn't mean anything. Just know, the set of bearings I received on my longboard have treated me very well. If you do struggle with your bearings, a simple (though temporary) fix is to take them out of the wheels and soak them in fresh motor oil for 24 hours. This will not only pull some of the dirt out but will lubricate the insides as well.
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS
(skip this if you don't want to read my review):
I bought this board because I owned a pintail and wanted a drop through that would be lower to the ground and provide me with more stability. I didn't have a large budget, but knew I wanted some things.
41" length? Check
Rounded, larger wheels for stability and ease of sliding? Check
Drop through deck style? Check
As cheap as possible? Check
Stylish underside graphic? Check
What are some things I got I wasn't expecting?
Fantastic bearings.
Flexible board providing a smooth ride.
Reliable wheels possibly harder than 78a
Solid trucks and wheels
What are some things I would change?
A more durable deck. (though this could just be because I didn't take care of it well)
A deck that was not warped (I'm not talking concave or camber I'm talking truly warped. "Twisted")
Overall, this board is fantastic. I look forward to having it as my trusty backup and parts supplier. I just bought this one because I wanted kick-tails and it was on sale for 65% off!!

On the first day I used it, I just went back and forth on my drive way, and on my second day, went out around the neighborhood! I never thought I would make so much progress in so little time. I did use it after it rained a few times and it shows no damage at all. This is definitely a great beginner board.
Other details:
Wheels - GREAT! Size 70mm 78a
Deck - Perfect, great gripping tape and on the other side, a cool green design. The wood shown on the bottom of the deck is not the legit wood, but who cares! It's awesome either way!
Trucks- I have no idea how to rate trucks but I'm pretty sure they're great as well.
Movements:
Going on flatland- Perfectly stable and easy to get going
Downhill- Fine, but as a beginner, I havnt done much of it.
Uphill- HARD. Only because I'm lazy.
Turning- Ok, here is where I tell you how what I did to turn easier. Out of the box, turning was alright, eh. But what I did to make it turn easy for me (I weigh 120 so, it may turn too easily for others who have a higher weight - no offense.) was I straddled it, and moved side to side for a while, mimicking the movement used for turning. This worked for me, but I can't assure it will work for everyone.
Everything else about this board is amazing. I can't say it enough! This is 80% easier to ride than a skateboard, in my opinion. I hope this helps all future buyers!
The board itself has a great design, I love the sleek look and the green. I've found that with a little lube I was able to break in my bearings and such with no problem. The deck has yet to warp at all from water damage (I try to avoid puddles but sometimes it's impossible). The deck itself is very sturdy, I've had adults bounce on it and it has had no problem at all bouncing back and keeping them up. I've clocked up to around 10 mph on this board so far. I can tell that even with just the bearings it came with, it's a fantastic board.
My turns and cuts are absolutely incredible. The board responds with such ease and grace when you turn, it's like butter. I know I'll have no problems with getting a good turn or making a quick split second cut. The best part, however is the reliability. The board has yet to have a single problem with it's manufacturing and has been put through quite a bit of tough love from my buddies and I.
But the most stupendous of feats this board has accomplished happened today. My friend and I were going to the local grocer to buy a soda and a bag of chips. On the way back we were waiting for our turn on the crosswalk, as the walk signal flashed I kicked my board into the street. I had the intention of jumping onto it, using the run jump as a way of gaining speed initially. Not even a second after I'd kicked it into the street and was running to it, a car went out of turn and came barreling through the turn, against pedestrian traffic, and was at around 25mph or so. Possibly faster. The car not only drove over the deck with the front tires, but also with the back tires. The deck was so flexible it touched the ground, bounced up, and hit the ground again when the back tires drove over it. Out of anger, and fear of my broken skateboard, I was furious! I rushed over, glad it was the board and not myself on the ground, and realized it wasn't broken. NOT EVEN A SCRATCH!! This board has truly surpassed all expectations I'd had for it. In the hours of skating after that incident it still has proven to work just as before. This is truly, 100%, without a doubt my favorite skateboard. I'll continue to buy these products.
For anyone on the fence about buying this board, just remember you can have an SUV drive over it twice and it'll be fine.
The only reason I've taken the time to write this review was because of how magnificent this board has proven to be.
