Review: great - great to learn and cruise on, really sturdy until a car ran it over 4 months in </3
Review: Pretty worth your money if this is going to be your first board/longboard - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it take super wide turns or can I take tight turns as I am on a college campus and need maneuverability?**
A: It's pretty sharp on it's turns.  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.

Great board!!! The rip tape was falling off the sides as soon as I got it out of the box but it rides nice! It’s so cute too!! I recommend buying some different wheels for it though! I did in the photos
