This board is excellent if you're first learning how to ride. I recommend paying 15 bucks to replace the bearings with some Bones Reds, and you'll be set. The grip tape is pretty cheap and peels from the edges, but I never had a problem with it. For $80, it's more than enough!

I have been skateboarding since I was 12, and this is the nicest board Ive had so far. I had a cheap Quest longboard from Walmart which is extremely stiff. The Retrospec board is flexible and turns very well in comparison. I will say that the plastic is hard to unwrap unless you take the trucks off. The griptape has two large bubbles in it. The box was also damaged, but thankfully the longboard was in great shape.

La tabla viene con detalles como rayaduras y los que la venden se les ocurre cubrirlos con plumón negro. La verdad es decepcionante que te entreguen un artículo nuevo con defectos.

 

Muy buena calidad a un excelente precio 👌

This board looks awesome and for the cheap price, it was a wonderful entry board. I have used it for a summer and it is a great learner board. Just don't forget to tighten up the chalks or you'll be crawling around on it like a fool as I did. I can't wait until summer so I can bust it out again. It will make you look good and feel good. just don't forget to wear a helmet.

Buena tabla, se despegó levemente el antideslizante. Valeros rápidos aunque un cambio por otros más rápidos

Me gusto todo

Great if you don’t know if you’ll enjoy longboarding. For the price it’s amazing. I ride it about once a week and i enjoy it thoroughly

Overall, I'm going to be very happy with this purchase, but that is primarily because 1) I was planning on putting on larger wheels anyways, 2) I'm going to beat the crap out of it, so I don't care about imperfections.Pros:- It's huge. I went from a 31" flat longboard to this. Despite that, it's not too heavy. Following from that...- It's very comfortable. The board has great flexibility, the drop deck makes it feel very stable and your feet have room to swim all over them. The bushings also have a just about the perfect firmness and rebound for my liking.Cons:- Cosmetic damage all over. There are a couple of rough cuts on the edge of the grip tape that are poorly hidden by black paint There is a big of paint blob on the painted part on the bottom (clearly covering up a scratch poorly since it is still partially visible). There is a scratch in the unpainted veneer. The veneer wasn't super well sanded, so there are some bumps from the grain that are clearly visible on the pointed side (these exist on the unpainted side, but are not visible due to the wood grain.- The bearings are terrible. Barely makes 2 full rotations when spun by hand.- The 70mm wheels are small for my taste for riding on city roads, sidewalks and curbs of varying quality where a >35mm bump is fairly likely to make you bail. The trucks come with a 10mm riser, so if these were omitted, it could easily come equipped with 90mm wheels with the same ride height. This would certainly increase the price, but not my more than a few dollars and would be a much more enjoyable default riding experience. There is lots of room in the cut-outs so these would not risk binding against the deck.- Minor gripe from someone who tries to be as no-waste as possible: the beck is unnecessarily wrapped in plastic with the other components already attached. you have to actually remove the trucks to properly get all of the plastic wrap off, even if you don't remove the riser like me.I've already remove the risers and installed new 90mm wheels with some decent bearings. It is an extremely comfortable riding experience that I was very excited by. The only adjustment I'm having to make is being careful about the very wide deck. I've kicked the side of the deck and rear wheel a couple of times. That's my problem, not a criticism of the product. Just a caution for people who are not used to a board this size.Even considering that I basically just paid for the board and trucks, I'm still happy with the purchase. I would have paid $200 instead of just over $100 if it came with quality wheels and bearings pre-installed. While I think that the attempts to cover up the imperfections are a bit sad, I also think it is unrealistic for other reviewers to expect a flawless piece for art for $100. This thing is going got be chewing on gravel and being scraped against curbs and walls; no reason for them to discard a substandard board when you aren't willing to pay a premium in the first place. I do hold it against them that they intentionally use terrible bearings that I imagine 80% of riders are going to replace immediately anyways. Might as well ship without bearings and discount price a couple of dollars if you don't want to ship a decent set. I can reuse the smallish wheels on another board, but these bearings are going directly in the trash.
