can the board go downhill at high and medium speeds?

It's a little twitchy, and I find that the deck isn't stiff enough to feel confident at high speeds. Harder Bushings helped a little, and for the average ride it does just fine bombing, I just wouldn't do speed runs.

Depends on how long the hill is. If the hill is long and pretty steep than the board will just keep increasing at high speeds. But if it's a short and not so steep hill it will go at a medium speed. Hope this helps.

Theoretically it can. I would change the trucks first. The stock ones are just a little too flimsy. They can only get you to about 30mph's before they just start wobbling too much

I have ridden this board a couple times downhill and it performs well. The trucks aren't the best and its a bit heavy but for the price its a good board

yes, but of course you will want to tighten the trucks or bring a wrench with you to adjust to your preference depending on the type of riding and speed, also of course wear proper protection... great board for the price, and looks good too..

Yes it does. The trucks are tighter on this board which is great for going down hill at high speeds.

Damgto is right, just lift the board. Flipping it over is a pain. I've been doing it 30 years.

Yes. Its a great board for the price. Just make sure to loosen the nuts when it arrives to get a better ride.

The bearings would do great for smallerer hills. But this board is a little stiffer when cruising around but you will get used to it after a couple days of riding. On smaller hills or any size hill this board does not give you speed wobbles which is amazing!!!

In my opinion, there is definitely room for improvement. The trucks are pretty smooth for a while if you tweak them right, but overall are pretty standard and eventually become a little too unstable for higher speeds. So I'd say if you have the money to, buy the new trucks for the board (You'll have to eventually anyways). The rubber wheels on the board are certainly a pretty sweet ride if you like smoothness too!

My 12 year old son said its good for downhill but the bearings and wheels are average. He is planning on replacing the wheels soon. Hope this helps

I'm sorry. I don't know the answer. I purchased the board as a gift for my son-in-law.

This is probably not the board for you then. Going slightly uphill, two pushes won't get you very far. It's something that can be adjusted if you change the wheels maybe

all I can tell you is that there is a low and a higher speed to it. Hope that helps.

I don't use my board daily, but i do use it often enough to know how good the board is. Its a little heavy and hard to turn because of the length of the board. but it is a smooth and safe ride all the way down any hill. I love this board, I hope this helps.

NONE! The bearings in this board are perfectly fine. Just ride it and you'll see. Why spend more $$ on other bearings just to say you have name brand bearings. Blah blah blah. Ride it and you 'll see they are perfectly fine, fast and fun!

If I understand your question, the board itself is capable, but the wheels that it comes with aren't very good for sliding. They're very soft and concave, so if you want to slide I'd recommend replacing the wheels

You do NOT have to be going downhill relying on gravity (although that does make for a really fast ride). It is propelled by foot motion. With a leftt-right-left-right-left-right push movement with feet on the bar, it causes the front wheel to swivel and you move forward. It is very easily accomplished on level surfaces. Now, I have seen my 6yo have trouble maintaining his forward motion once he comes to climbing an incline. Unless you have momentum and a good foot-swivel going, you will slow, stop, and back-roll when confronted with an incline.

I've had no problem with my board, it was amazing.. I absolutely fell in love with my board.. Best thing I've ever hard for commuting place to place.. Bearing are awesome, it basically glides on the road..

Hello Jack, Yes, if you inflate the board to 10 PSI, secure it properly and keep your speed within the limit not more than 60MPH. Hope this helps.

Well, no... It's a long board so it's meant for curving, sliding, and just riding... Not kick flips or anything.

It does. Going downhill and on flat is pretty great. The trucks aren't amazing - but if you're looking for a faster pace, just invest in better trucks.
