Is this considered a long board deck? I am curious as I am not a skateboarder but would like to build myself a longboard for a hobby. Thank you

yes but the quality is not good I would suggest to look into something more steady

Not at all it's a skateboard deck constructed with some of the cheapst wood Out there

It's not a trick long board. It's for sliding. My son did a kick flip on it and the tail snapped off.

My husband ordered this board for himself. He's 210lbs & when he stepped on the board, the board almost broke in half. He gave it to my brother which is 135lbs & you see the board bend a little but not too much. My husband wouldn't suggest this board for anybody over 150lbs. My husband has been longboarding for over 10 years. Hope this helps you with your decision on the board.

This is a beautiful deck for begginers your going to have to buy the grip tape separate but all in all good board deck to start with it is concave and it measures 44in tall and 10in wide I built my board with separate pieces and it turned out great I got reverse king pin trucks and punked speed cruiser wheels with abec 9 bearings, the grip tape is diamond tape all together is a master piece well hope this helps at least a little bit.

Yes it is a quality board, however I would highly reccommend getting better wheels. There's nothing wrong with the wheel that's come with it, but there are far better wheels out there that could've been put on this deck

They are supposed to bend! Unlike skateboards, longboards are meant to bend. Now how much it bends depends on how thick the wood is on your deck (longboard). So when you buy a new board, pay attention to the description. It will tell you how many plies of wood they used to make the board. It is truly a matter of preference. Softer for everyday use, and harder is you are thinking about doing tricks n stuff. Your longboard is perfectly fine. Enjoy!

My son is about 150 lbs...and the board hasn't cracked yet! So it would be a good first longboard for you. Have fun!

Hi Maryann, I bought this board for my 13 year old daughter and she doesn't have a problem with it. The board is well balanced. It also, has a hand grip in the center that makes it easy to carry. With regard to the length it will benefit you on the water and because of the balancing and grips it's not difficult to move around.

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like.First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

I have the drop deck board and i aswell use it for transportation, cruising, etc. this bored is super smooth and i reccomend it, wood of the deck is not the best but for the price you'll be satisfied.. So yes a drop deck would fit what you need

I have had the board for the past 6 months and have loved it as my first long board and still continue to enjoy it. I haven't had that much weight on it yet but I'm @200lbs and have no issue at all. Board is not super stiff so it has a little flex to it which I like personally. Cheers!

I don't think I know enough to answer that question (not a skateboard expert) but my son has 5 skateboards now and this is still his favorite. It was fun to assemble together, and he rides it frequently and we have had zero issues with it. Highly recommended.

Any teen can ride this, it also depends on what your teen is looking for. This board is more ment for tricks and stuff if they want to just ride then a longboard is better hope that answered your question

Well this board is heavy and kinda rides slow on level ground, but downhill is ok, I actually jus changed the wheels on it and the ride is ok. But the atom drop deck I haven't had a chance to try it out, but it may be a better choice........"may be", not too sure tho.

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

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..
