Osprey Twin Tip Longboard 39 inch Canadian Maple Deck, Complete Skateboard, For Adults, Kids and Beginners, Multiple Colours

Has this for about a month and a half and gone from complete newbie to happily using it to get across Cardiff. (still quite the beginner though!) Overall I love it. It gets a lot of comments from people as I go by asking what it is, and why it's so long! If there's one thing that I'd ideally improve on it is that the tail is very short - which makes using it to flip the board up difficult. I'm considering putting larger wheels on it because the pavements and roads in Cardiff are truly awful and even with 72 mill wheels it's easy to just get stuck on things at slow speeds. Sadly getting large wheels in the UK seems to be difficult. If you're reading this in Cardiff and want to meet a fellow long boarder leave a comment :)

My son had it for Christmas, I’ve skated for years and very happy with the quality

It's a decent quality board to get you started. Looks awesome and the build is good, but not great. You'll most likely have to look into changing the bushings or tightening the trucks if you're a heavier rider. It was way to floppy for me out of the box. Don't overtighten 'till the bushing deform. Better off to get harder bushings. The wheels were very slow, 'coz the bearings were pretty dry, but you can most of the time rectify that with some lubrication. At worst you can always change out the bearings for new ones for a few quid. I'm 17 stone and 6'5 and it takes my weight fine for cruising. It has a lot of flex in the board. However I don't think it would stand up very well to being jumped on. It would probably break where the trucks drop through the board.

Daughter cried brill

ordered on a sunday shipped on the Monday came Tuesday 10 out 10. now about the board the wheels and bearings are of a good stranded for this prised board the deck as a nice feel to it under your feet giving loads of feed back. on the whole and for the price this is a very nice board very forgiving and easy to ride board. I am giving this a 5 star for the price and for how easy this board is to ride and by the way dads if you are getting for the kids you will love it I did and am 54 going on 10

Great longboard for beginners. I was really surprised with the quality given the low price point. Within two hours of my first go I felt a lot more confident and was already moving left and right. Haven’t had any issues yet (apart from falling off and spraining my wrist!)

Bearings are not so great but the biggest issue is the wheel bite (can be dangerous) can be ok for learning but personally would not buy ot again

I bought this for my 12 year old boy. He loves it. It is extremely smooth apparently and, importantly, "so cool". It is very long. And oddly this makes it less obtrusive as it is invariably propped up against something when not in use, unlike the normal-sized skateboard which is a domestic incident waiting to happen. This is only important to me, obviously.
