As far as I can tell, the bottom is mostly flat after I rubbed my hand over it. Although it was bothersome at first as the riding surface is not completely flat, I have no problems or second opinions about it after riding for a while. As a result, to answer your question it is a bit convex on the graphic. One side is slightly concave, while the other is slightly flat.
There is really not much flex to this board, so I wouldn't take it where it might be The bike might work ok on dirt. I tested it on a paved bike path and almost fell over a tiny rock and a twig, but then again I must have been going about two or three
The size of the jacket might be a little large for you, but it really depends on what you are comfortable wearing. Over cracks and bumps, I find the long boards to be very effective.
The set is for my daughter, 11, who is 11 years old. The first long board she rode was her first one and after getting rid of her nervousness she rode it well. The bike has been in her possession for 7 months, and she still rides it regularly.

Less than one month ago, I purchased this board and it was not a bad board for $60, even though I needed to change the bearing to make it easier to turn and carve. Nonetheless, it broke today while I was carving at less than 10 mph and threw me forward, landing on my bottom. Thankful that I had protective gear on, but I wish that I had also had my helmet on. The only trick I did was cruise on a long trail. I'm a petite woman (110 lbs) who's not doing any tricks. There was a nail on the back of the truck that cracked it was luckily the rear one, since the front would have to break if I were riding that side. This board is not safe for anyone, regardless of whether you are a beginner or a pro. In fact, it will be even worse if you are a beginner since you have not learned how to "safely" fall. This is not a longboard for children so please stay away from it if your children are looking for one. Because this one had a high rating, I selected it as my first board. Getting a well-fitting skate from your local shop will improve your performance High quality, made in the USA. Sorry to hear that.
My heart rate is over 250 but not over 300, so if you're worried about breaking an egg, it won't. Taking a board for a couple years has been hard for me since I used to ride every day. It was so easy to get back on after I had been away for a few days. I thought it would take me a few days to get the hang of it again, but it didn't take me long at all. It holds your dominant foot in the middle, but can also be moved back and forth easily. It has worked so far without any issues!.
I'm a 30 year old man who decided I wanted a skateboard. I'm not trying to drop into a half pipe or anything, but I wanted to cruise around The board is easy to ride, has good wheels and bearings, and it isn't so fast that I feel like I'm going to fall off. My own personal tightening up of the trucks was caused by a little bit of wheel bite on the first day because I felt the trucks were loose. It may have been my stance couldn't be supported, I don't However, it is a great beginner board and is worth the money.
You can use it as a beginner board without any problems. In any case,
*Because of the raises on this board, it makes it difficult to push off, and will put a strain on your Achilles tendon -- In addition to the bearings being awful, the board is also extremely slow because of them. My first board had to be replaced within two weeks and one of the wheels broke when I was removing one of them - I had to replace both of them. The board is VERY squeaky until you lubricate the pivot cup. *** I love the design, but having to take out the lifts and replace so many parts just to make it act like it does is very time consuming. When you're going to have to put a bunch of extra time and money into it within the first two weeks, you might as well spend a little more money to get a board that's going to last for a while before it needs.
This skateboard is much larger than what it appears in the picture. I was expecting it to be for my tiny pet hamster, Mr Jiggly Wiggly Hamster. That was my first clue that this was not what I expected. The package was very large and heavier than expected, so that was my first clue that it wasn't what I expected. Upon unboxing, I realized my suspicions were correct, it is much larger than what I expected. It is big enough for Mr Jiggly Wiggly Hamster and myself to ride together, which is pretty cool if I knew how to ride.
After riding a friend's board, which was a hundred bucks, I was struck by the difference between these two boards. The bearings in particular need to be maintained. My friend was able to keep up with me, but this board would slow down in a fraction of the time. I felt like I was pushing a wagon with one foot, just to be unable to keep up with him. If you want to really get into longboarding, you'll have to buy new bearings. It comes to an additional $20 if you end up buying the bearings and the skate tool wrench. He now had to pay 80 bucks to replace a board he'd had since he was in middle school, compared to a hundred bucks for his old board. There was really no benefit in this board, and it would have been better to spend the additional $20 on a new one in the future.
It's well built and so affordable. The weight of the argument is right. There is no hesitation about the truck [wheels] rolling great and playing the game as the axels are flexible. A nice and smooth turn is achieved. In addition to its cool look, he can't resist admiring it and riding it. I am so happy that he likes this board. very happy to hear that he also enjoys skating because I loved it when I was young. It is a highly recommended board, which I will most likely purchase.
Okay, let's have a look at the board. This is an inexpensive, short board for those new to longboarding or have no idea if they like it. It is also a great introduction to the sport of cruising. As for the wheels and bearings, they are not that good. In fact, you should replace them right now if you intend to cruise. It's okay to drive the trucks but otherwise it's not much good. It will save you money in the long run to buy the components and build your own board by doing a little research and doing some research. Your board will be something that you will enjoy using for many.
