Review: I got exactly what I ordered - 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 desertcart 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.

I'm also on a college campus every day and it suits my needs just fine. I get to all my classes on time. It's really a great board. **Q: Is there any shock pads under the trucks?** A: There is a plastic plate between the board and truck mount. The board itself is very flexy. **Q: If i buy this board, i'd like to put bigger wheels on it. in your experience what's the biggest size i can put on this board (w/o wheel bite) ?** A: If you check out the dimensions of the board, you'll see quite a bit of space for bigger wheels. Even with the bigger wheels, the board can't turn hard enough to have the board touch the wheels... The board will actually scrape the ground since it's so low if you turn hard enough. **Q: Is this board good for boardwalking?** A: I haven't tried that yet, I probably won't unless I have the proper gloves and I'm prepared to fall and get hurt. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I got exactly what I ordered *by A***R on 4 October 2018* 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.
