Review: Easily one of the BEST LONGBOARDS on desertcart right now. - Overall: This board is stiff enough to make you feel steady on your feet and flexible enough to give you a wide range of mobility. It is the perfect balance between the two, making it great for beginners! Honestly it just feels right the moment you get on it. I am not a beginner rider and it was perfect for me, too! Deck: I doubt the deck would ever break because it feels very sturdy and well made. It is a radial concave deck, which provides comfortable foot placement. The deck has no camber (a good thing for beginner riders, and a matter of taste for advanced riders). The graphic on it is absolutely beautiful, and looks like it is a part of the wood. No complaints here! Grip Tape: I have had bad experiences with desertcart boards and their grip tape in the past. The grip on this board has not given me problems yet! I will update this part of the review as I ride the board more. Problems usually arise a month in. Trucks: The trucks are indeed metal because magnets are weakly drawn to them. They are good trucks. Nothing special, but for a $60 complete board, that is expected. If you are a beginner, MAKE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE TRUCKS. They are pretty loose right out of the box. They do squeak at first, but you just need to break them in. One complaint I do have is that the plastic packaging goes under the trucks (Almost all desertcart boards are like this, though). You will need to remove the trucks to get all of the plastic out. Wheels + Bearings: The wheels are nice and grippy. They go over rocks and bumps with ease, too. The bearings are suprisingly great for a $60 desertcart board! I live in a neighborhood with extremely rough roads, and the wheels + bearings still give me lots of cruising time and a smooth ride. I can't imagine what this board must be like on nice roads. I did end up changing out the bearings simply because I wanted really, really long cruise time (this is standard procedure with desertcart boards, by the way. You should expect to be changing out the bearings on a complete longboard at a low pricepoint like this). Seriously, why haven't you added it to your cart yet?! This is the right board for you! Get it!
Review: Well Worth the $80 ($60, but I'll Explain) - This board, for $60, is one of the best on desertcart as of now. The design on the board is flawless and very California-esc. The board, after doing some basic tricks, cruising, and such, is VERY durable, and is very nice. The grip tape is also very high quality. The wheels are fine, and for beginners, does not need replacing, but more advanced long-boarders may have a preference for different wheels. The bushings are fine, but I chose to get bushings according to weight. (Not necessary, just preference) My issue is the bearings. While they are NOT bad by any means, I feel that they are a bit lackluster. However, that should somewhat be expected for $60 given that the quality of everything else is great. I said that it is worth $80 because I paid $20 for Bones Red bearings w/Skate tool. You WILL need a skate tool for loosening/tightening your trucks, as mine came very tight. For me, I think Bones has the best bearings on the market, and given that they're only $20 with a skate tool (as of now), it's a good investment. OVERALL: For a beginner, this board will be OUTSTANDING. The quality of the board is worth more than the $60 price. The only change you should make is getting Bones Red bearings, and I also would suggest doing so for any board between $50-$120. Update: I have now bought both a skateboard and longboard, and am proficient on both. (Enough to do basic tricks). This board is outstanding. I have dealt alot of blows to it against the cement due to bumpy NY asphalt, and the board has little damage.(Other than typical chipping from frontside flips, etc)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the flex like on this board?**
A: Like a spring board. I can almost make the middle of the board touch the ground when jumping on it, if that puts it into perspective.

**Q: Are the trucks metal or plastic**
A: The trucks are cast aluminum

**Q: Should i buy this or the retrospec zed bamboo complete cruiser? i'm new to longboarding but i pick up stuff fast.**
A: The drop through will be easier to push since it is lower to the ground and has better wheel clearance. For these reasons I would recommend it. The other board does have a kick tail though so if doing Ollie's are important to you then go with that one. Although being 44in this will difficult, but easier than with the drop though. I hope this helps.

**Q: Has anyone changed the wheels? Want to add better ones for cracks in streets etc. Any suggestions on matching size brand ??**
A: I haven't tried wheels on skate boards, but I have changed wheels on roller skates. I have outdoor wheels and indoor wheels. I would interview skate park participants about their own experiences and what wheels work better for rough terrain etc., prior to purchasing better wheels. The best to your hunt for a better ride.
