Review: good quality for what you pay. - i used to ride longboards a few years back, had some very very expensive boards and i loved it! well, eventually life took over and i no longer had time or energy to ride anymore, so i sold them. a few years later my brother sees a youtube video of someone longboarding, and he decided he wanted to buy one and try it out, so ifigured what the heck, and bought one with him just to teach him and just have some family fun. i did extensive research on over 50 different boards all under the price of 160$, in the end i ended up choosing this retrospec board and couldnt be more pleased. i read all the reviews on this board and was hesitant on ordering it because of all the bad revviews and messed up boards. well im 5"11 at about 210lbs and the board hold me great, feels great and handles great. upon receiving the package i noticed the mail carriers did not handle it with care, the box arrived with a few tears and holes, wasnt looking too promising, however, when i opened the box i was sure to inspect the board very well, and the only bad thing i can say is the grip tape is just a little off in certain places, you dont really notice it unless you are really looking at it. 9/10 would buy again
Review: Everyone I know love this thing and can’t believe the price. - I live in Miami Beach and I’ve been siting everywhere for a few years now. Work, beach, groceries... I do everything in a board. I had a Rayne and loved it until a car ran it over. The trucks were fine so I ordered an Arbor deck. Hated it. Then I found this one and I thought the design and colors were cool and it came complete so I would have some spare parts. When this thing came in I couldn’t believe it. It’s heavy and solid and the dip creates a lit center of gravity. It goes over everything that would normally mess you up. I saw some people saying it cracked on them and I have no idea how that’s issuable unless it was seriously damaged in shipping. All my friends ride and when we meet up we have like 6-10 boards with us and this one is the favorite. Totally worth it. The only thing I would say is that I used my Gullwing Sidewinder 2 trucks and bigger wheels. The regular trucks weren’t my favorite but custom trucks still aren’t going to make this thing anywhere close to expensive for what you get. I switched out my ABEC7 bearing for the 9’s this came with and they feel great too. Oh yeah, I also let a friend try it who does not skate at all and she took off on it right away. It’s so solid and wide it gives anyone confidence it’s going to be easy to balance in and get speed/carve. If you’re thinking about it, do it. If you don’t like it I’ll buy it from you 😂

*by D***I on March 26, 2020*

I’ve been skateboarding my entire life though I’m no expert and I’m new to longboards. Given that : I’m very happy with this board! It has decent flex as far as I can tell, certainly more flexible that retrospec’s pintail model. It has nice, big, soft, wheels which feel very smooth on asphalt. The drop down design is sweet! The shape allows for good leverage on the trucks for fun, tight, carves while maintaining a low center of gravity which increases stability when you pickup some speed and it’s very easy and comfortable to push because you’re closer to the ground. Highly recommended!
