MINORITY Downhill Maple Longboard Skateboard | 40-inch Drop Trough Deck | Made for Cruising Ride

I'm completely new to longboarding/skateboarding, so I can't say much about the relative quality of this board compared to that of others, but I got exactly what I was expecting. I bought this specific board because the price seemed reasonable, and there are a lot of 4-5 star reviews here on Amazon that state the board is good for beginners.I've only had the board for a few days, but here are my comments:+ Shipping was fairly quick.+ The packaging for the board was a bit sloppy, but I suppose I can't complain because the board arrived undamaged.+ The bottom decal looks high quality in person, as does the design on the grip tape.+ The board functions properly; there are no defects that I noticed.+ The board flexes quite a bit when I stand on it, more than I initially expected, but this appears to be normal based on the other reviews I've read.+ The turning radius is quite a bit wider than I would like, but I suppose I'll get better at turning with practice, and adjusting the bearings is also an option from what I hear.Overall, the product that I received met all of my expectations. I just hope it's durable enough to last for a year at least. I'll update this review if it ends up breaking in the near future.

So I have never used a Longboard before. Actually, I have never used any board before. So for starting up, I thought of buying it and it's an incredible experience.As a novice, I just loved the amount of area I have to adjust my feet. The board is very stable and doesn't creeks weird sounds like other boards in the market. It is rock solid sturdy and feels very robust. I have used it even in a bit of snow and everything goes well. The wheels are really nice and wide which helps in initial balancing. When it comes to the design of the board, it really good and grabs the attention. I would recommend it for daily use and even on the college campus. Despite its length, it is super easy to turn it and it can take sharp turns. I love the artwork which is at the back of it.In all its a great board and I am just happy that it's the first board I bought.Superb job. I would buy again for gifting it to my younger brother, especially because it arrived earlier than expected.

First skateboard I rode in 50 plus years. Big difference from steel skates nailed to a picket fence.Out of the box the board was great; nice graphics, big, wide soft wheels. Others have mentioned the trucks are stiff and the wheels don't roll freely. That can be fixed by loosening truck and wheel nuts. Anyway, at 66, I'm glad the board was not set up for max performance. At 180 lbs I found the board to be really flexy. The ride was responsive and easy to slalom down roads. The second time out, I rode down a bike path. To avoid oncoming walkers, I steered into the grass. It was a little bumpy, the board flexed and then cracked (see photos). I glued and clamped it, but the cracks opened the second I stood on the board.If you weigh 150 lbs or less and you are a beginner to intermediate, this board is a super value. If you weigh 180 or more, the flex will eventually weaken and break the layers of plywood. This was not the sellers fault. Hong Henry contacted me prior to the crack to see how the board was performing. I've never had a seller ask me for my opinion so that meant a lot. Next project; Home Depot for a 1' X 6" to slap these trucks on

I am still breaking my board in but it rides good and is very stable. I bought this to commute with on board my ride is about 3.7 miles each way. I enjoy the ride and missed boarding, haven’t skated is about 10 years. Great exercise and cardio as well. As of now 11/30/23 I have covered more than 1000 miles on my board and have nothing but positive things to say about it, this board is fairly sturdy and a highly confidence inspiring ride. Most days I try to ride about 10 miles, as the weather continues to get colder that is getting harder to do consistently.I would definitely recommend this board to anyone who wants to get into long boarding but wants to keep their cost to start low. I will be replacing my bearings in the near future the ones the board came with are solid but after a few rides getting caught out in the rain the bearings aren’t quite as awesome as they once were, although no surprise there bearings don’t like getting stuff inside.

I bought this board during the beginning of quarantine since I had previously wanted to learn how to skate during my first college semester and had several friends who already had skateboard/longboards and figured this could be a nice way to go outside while “socially distancing” ourselves while being able to exercise. (yes ik big run on sentence). Anyways, i have been skating a lot (2-4 a week) and this board is really great for its price. I paid about $60 and it is still functioning as well as it came out of the box. The trucks did not need any adjustment for me/my style of riding. I will admit the designs/grip tape were all slightly off centered and that annoyed me a bit but after going off curbs and using the board a bunch i don’t really notice anymore. This board is great for beginners and is really easy to balance/learn how to skate compared to better/higher quality boards that cousy 2-3x the price. I have gone down steep hills, long flat paths and it works well. I did crash a lot in the beginning leading to both sides of the board splitting a little (bad quality plywood but hey, it’s $60) but other than that i would totoally recommend this board as a first time board.

This board is pretty good, changed the wheeles a few times for personal preferences but this board has been through some thanggsss, it’s been used as a self defense weapon, rode in the rain, left outside In the rain for days, fell off a parking garadge and got ran over by a car, minimal damage, still sturdy the only thing that’s started to ware is the grip tape. 10/10

Goood longboard trucks came a lil loose but everything else is perfect
