4.0 out of 5 stars Good price for a decent item, October 25, 2009

This review is from: Atom Kicktail Longboard (Sports)
First I want to mention that this is my first longboard. I only briefly stepped on a friends longboard before getting this one, so I can't comment on how it compares to others. But I can say that I am very happy with this item! The board is decent and has nice griptape. The board isn't just a cheap piece of wood like some others I had seen. The edges are all rounded and the spot by the wheels has a small indent for your turns. The shape of the board is good looking and the graphic is of good quality. The graphic features a stylized wave and there is a surfer on top. Not to my taste but the image is decent. The trucks are usable for a beginner I think although they seem generic and I wonder about their longevity. They are metal though and I haven't had any problems with them falling apart etc. I was surprised to find that the wheels are much better then I expected!

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect First Longboard, September 19, 2010

This is the perfect first longboard. I have some experience snowboarding and skimboarding, but I was not expecting to feel so comfortable on a longboard right away. Within 15 minutes I could carve down a moderate hill. The trucks provide you with practically effortless control. It literally feels like you are surfing on the ground. The wheels can handle both sidewalks and less-than-ideal pavement. It took me several hours to learn how to foot break because it requires you to balance with one foot. However, until I got the hang of footbreaking, I simply hopped off the front of the board when I felt that I was going too fast.

After one hour with this longboard, I don't want to leave the house without it.

I really liked this board. I've never longboarded in my life and this board is great for beginners. Just had to loosed the wheels a little but the trucks were good. Very happy.
