Volador 42inch Freeride Longboard Complete Cruiser ( Drop Through Deck - Camber concave )

I don't skateboard professionally, but I occasionally commute to class by board. The following are some observations I've made about this board in my week or so of using it The pros are 2. *br. There is very little effort involved in turning this thing. As a board of this length, it has a pretty decent turn radius, and I can hit bendy sidewalks with good speed and sometimes up to 110 degree turns without having to pick it up and adjust. I like how the deck looks and how durable it is. arrived in the same way as pictured (I ordered the "summer" version, with a blue graphic that seems similar to the spring version). This board held me with a little flex since I am 220 pounds. Once it's been used for a while, it's barely noticeable. A great ride if you need a smooth ride over gravel, rocks, or cracks. It has a flex and large wheels that allow the bike to handle large obstacles. The third item A lot of grip is provided by the grip tape at the top of the board. That's why it abraded some of the sole of my red Adidas sneakers, leaving a mark in its wake. In general, I don't see that as a negative. The alternative would be to fall off and crack my head open than to stay on this board. 4
Due to its size, this board is relatively lightweight. Please take the size into account before purchasing. It's not exactly practical to be strapped to a backpack, and this thing can barely stand up against a wall (at least a tile or smooth surface) As a result of its length, it is a relatively light board that can easily be carried with- However, I was left handed. The cons are 2. *br. The machining process goes really well in this case, as I mentioned. The deck has a lot of tilt with pressure straight out of the box, so much so that the trucks needed to be tightened to keep myself from falling off. However, I observed that even though I tightened the truck very hard, it still had a good deal of flex. This is not a solid thing, even if you tighten it to the extreme, and the deck will move tighten the trucks on my Kryptonics board, it would not flex at all and it would be very hard to turn, but it would be very sturdy and easy to ride straight. In addition, if you tighten the trucks all the way or even close to it, you will notice the wheels are starting to turn It is balanced and one or two wheels will be off the ground even when the vehicle is laid flat on the ground without the weight of an individual 1. 2. While the bearings straight out of the box are not remarkable, they can still be useful. Generally, you can travel up to 10 yards on flat sidewalks with the usual gap before having to push again after a few solid pushes. Despite that, I am rather heavy for someone to be riding (again, 220 pounds), and that would affect my ability to cruise for long intervals. In general, I would say that this is a very reasonable entry for a contest The board is a level board that's priced well and is Despite being beautiful and lightweight, the deck could do with being replaced, along with the trucks and bearings. Even if you just add a cheap set of Reds bearings to this, it would make for a great commuter board. For the price of the board with a set of Reds, it's an excellent price. This board is a good option. Make sure you have your balance together or have a flat area where you can practice. The trucks are not very tight, so it may cause some irritation for some people. The trucks might be made of metal, but I'm not sure. I am almost under the impression that they are not, but if they are, they are certainly made of a good material We only use quality materials. As far as I know, I have not experienced too many problems—only that they do not tighten very.

Having said that, as far as I can tell, this is a great board at this price point. When I tried to learn how to skate in the past, I bought a $15 skateboard from Walmart (NOT what I expected). As a result, you could barely move the wheels and could not Learning to longboard requires a decent board that functions properly and is more stable. It is definitely worth spending a little more money on a decent board. Although I am a hefty gal, my height is 5'7 and I weigh 220 lbs, the board supports me just fine. The deck is springy, but does not bend so much that it worries me that it might break on me (like the Walmart ) I love the graphic on the back of the shirt, it is very cute and vibrant, so I am loving My converse, which I was wearing (no tricks) when I ripped the grip tape, became damaged from the intense force of the grip tape. As long as the tape holds my shoes in place, I'd rather it ruin my shoes than not hold them The grip tape also looks cool due to its design. White wheels, from a cosmetic standpoint, aren't ideal for someone who likes to keep things tidy. In some ways, it looks great right out of the box, but after my first ride, the wheels have taken on a greyish hue. My personal frustration was the sticker that came stuck to the bottom of the board. It was very hard to peel off and left behind a sticky residue. The board itself is not to blame for that As you know, stickers come in all shapes and sizes. If you were thinking about getting into longboarding, this board would definitely be recommended to you. Despite its low price, this board has a lot of features. A great.

Great quality and would recommend it. It has taken me two months to write this review so that I can see how this board fares. Prior to getting this board, I had no experience riding a skateboard. I bought it to get around campus faster at my university. My board is with me wherever I go and I ride it to all of my classes. That is why I bought it not knowing what to expect. This board is used at least six days a week, and I ride on it for at least thirty minutes to an hour on every single one Despite its price tag, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the board's wheels and bearings (although I recommend using a tool to tighten or loosen the wheels, since mine were a bit Because I knew that the ones that came with the board were going to be poor, I bought a second set of superior wheels and bearings However, the ones that come with the board are just a little bit worse than the ones that I bought separately. and artwork on the board have lasted just fine, and the shape makes carving and making sharp turns a breeze. The art pattern and design continue to look the same since day one and the board still tastes great. In addition to being well-made and sturdy, the board is also extremely durable. Even though I've been in a number of crashes and wipe outs that I thought would leave huge scars on my board or cause something to come loose, the board is still intact and minimal damage has been done to it. I can summarize by saying that the quality of this board has exceeded my expectations and it has helped me get around campus more efficiently. This board would be a great choice for anyone who wants a board to cruising around a college campus or whatever. I would suggest this to anyone who is thinking of getting into longboarding since this is also my first longboard.

No response from the seller to my request for a replacement or refund for the broken longboard I just rode and it broke without me ever riding it. It is not recommended that anyone purchase this product unless they need wood for a.
