I would inform the seller. They are, however, affordable.
It's a smooth ride, but it's not for the faint of heart.
Selected User Reviews For M Merkapa 41 Inch Drop-Through Longboard Skateboard Cruiser
Skateboards were a popular choice among my other children. I figured that since we're new to Virginia Beach, we should try something new to get a sense of the place. My first time on non-motorized wheels was an adjustment, to say the least. Okay, the first day, I was tempted to return it. On our street live my wife's uncle, aunt, and cousins, all of whom enjoy skateboarding. The trucks and some of the screws going through the board were tightened by my wife's uncle, and the board became much more functional. I'm a complete beginner, but I'm already able to get some speed on my turns and am carving fairly well after only a week. Unless I'm on a phantom rock, I never feel like I'm going to fall off. I would strongly advise anyone interested in getting started to use this board. It also came with a tool that proved to be very useful. I could reach into my pocket and make a few quick adjustments if things on the board felt out of whack.
This is without a doubt the best carving board I've ever ridden! I'd recommend it to an intermediate rider rather than a complete novice, but OMG I LOVE THE WAY THIS BOARD RIDES. I did replace the bearings, but that's something I do with all of my boards. ORIGINAL: ORIGINAL: ORIGINAL: ORIGINAL: ORIGINAL: ORIGINAL: ORIGIN When I first got it, there were a few scratches around the edges. br>Apart from that, I'm a huge fan of the griptape's graphic. It's crisp and clear, and it's breathtaking. It rides (and looks) great right out of the box, even if the wheels are a different color.
I expected it to be a POS for the price of the board. But it's holding up after riding it in snow, sleet, rain, down too many hills, and being hit by two trucks! I bought this board as a "let's have some fun without caring" board, but I'm actually quite impressed with it. It can take a beating, the trucks are actually quite good (they aren't Paris Trucks, after all), and the wheels are also quite smooth. The deck isn't stiff; it has some bounce, but it's not as bouncy as a Flex 2 or even close. (I enjoy a rock-themed deck, so it appeals to me. )br>I would definitely recommend this board to beginners and those looking for a fun way to pass the time.
I just received this board today, and it appears to be in good condition; however, I deducted a star because the packaging was poor and damaged. A single wadded-up piece of paper served as padding in the box. Although the board was not broken, it did have a scratch on the paint. I'm not returning it because it'll be covered in stickers before I know it. Simply be aware of the risks associated with the packaging, as there's a chance you'll receive a damaged board in the mail. br>br>Now that the packaging issue has been resolved, let's discuss what you get for your money. You'll get a 39-inch-long deck, which is similar to a 40- or 41-inch drop through deck. This length is fine in my opinion; spending an extra $20 on a board with a 41-inch deck is not worth it. The maple deck is fairly stiff and has a nice feel to it. I'm 160 pounds and I can get it to flex a little when I jump up and down on it. It's 8- You get 70mm wheels with a durometer of 78, and they're made of ply maple, so they're definitely stiffer. In terms of softness, they appear to be about right. Although the bearings do not spin very well, they do the job. The trucks are 7" wide, which is standard fare, and you won't find Bones Red bearings on a board this cheap. The bushings appear to be sufficient. The trucks and bushings are in excellent condition. The grip tape has a good amount of traction. The branding and artwork are a little cheesy. I'm not concerned about the branding because the white Playshion branding on the grip tape can be fixed with a black marker and the bottom can be covered in stickers.
Everything is pre-assembled and ready to ride, but you should spend some time adjusting the tension on all of the fasteners (T-nuts, for example). tool is included in the package). Large, (relatively) soft wheels absorb most of the bumps, making for a smooth ride. My only gripe is that the bottom paint scratches easily, but if you don't abuse your board, you should be fine. The deck feels solid and stable while still allowing for plenty of flex. The trucks are well-articulated, but they have a tendency to squeak. Simple answer - Disassemble the trucks and shave a small amount of soap from the cup in which the kingpin rests. It doesn't take much to get rid of the squeaking. I rubbed the bar of soap on the plastic bushings as well as any surfaces they sit on. br>br>Overall, it's been a fantastic purchase, and I'd gladly buy another.
This was a gift for my 13-year-old son. It gives him pleasure to ride it around our suburban neighborhood. There were no adjustments required right out of the box. br>br>It keeps him active and outside, so what more could he ask for?.
Recently, my son saved up his money and bought this longboard as a way to dip his toes in and start learning how to longboard. My son was going downhill when the board simply snapped on the rear truck, causing him to lose his balance and fall. My son weighs 170 pounds, which is WAY under the weight limit for the board. This company has a D+ rating. You should not purchase from a seller on this list. Their materials are low-cost, and they are taking advantage of you. Save your money and buy a less expensive board; it will most likely last the same amount of time. My son rode this board six times in normal, level conditions. This board is RISKY, CHEAP, and FRAUDULENT. BUY IT IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!.
