Gonex Longboard Skateboard, 42 Inch Drop Through Long Board Complete 9 Ply Maple Cruiser Carver for Girls Boys Teens Adults Beginners

It's a decent board for the money, the standard bushings that come with it are far too firm (almost plastic) and need replacing to have any manoeuvrability, it's worth double checking all the fixings are the right tightness too. Swapped the bushings and bearings out for a good branded set and it's made it a great cruiser

Wanted to get back into skateboarding but after being away from it for awhile I needed a stable low board to practice and gain confidence. You are not going to be able to do tricks at the park on this board, it's purely just for commuting or just riding along a strip of tarmac. As other reviews have said the bushings are quite hard which make it very hard to steer the board. After changing to softer bushings this problem has been solved and it's a great beginner board to learn on or get back into skating.

I'am sorry to say this longboard was purchased for my teenage son,,, really excited but unable to get the best out of the board,unable to turn bushings too hard ,,, would have returned but son insisted new soft bushings would work and it did,board ok now,, but get a longboard with spares ,, better out there for the price,,,,,,

Great reviews, nice longboard, but they need to change the maximum load weight. It says 150kg which is the only reason I bought it. i am 130kg and the deck almost touches the ground in the middle when I stand on it. I will put it away until I have lost weight but other heavy riders beware.

The media could not be loaded.  Excellent! I absolutely love my board! I used to skateboard when I was little. I'm 33 now, 6ft 2, and 17stone, and the board is fantastic. I've taken it for a good few spins and I can't fault it. Perfect for beginners I'd say and it's a heck of a smooth ride.Only thing I'd say is give the nuts a good tightening before you start (apart from the kingpin). As you can probably hear in my video they were rattling, but all is smooth as butter now.

I wanted to learn on how to skate, but before doing that I needed to practice on my balance. This board is perfect for beginners especially if they are learning the basics. However it is a long board so don't expect that you would be able to do tricks.Throughout my experience I had a lot of fun using this Board, it is helpful to get to places and it is safe to show it with your friends and family.

Purchased for my grandsons 12th birthday and I just had to have a go on it myself!This longboard is heaps of fun and relatively easy to get to grips with the handling, making it perfect for beginners and those new to longboarding.Good build quality and very affordable, usually a longboard of this quality would set you back over £100 - excellent value.

Very prompt delivery but that was the only good bit. The board was advertised with a tool kit but this was missing. Previous reviews have highlighted the same problem so it would appear to be par for the course.Cosmetically the board was fine but the truck bushings are so hard that it is virtually impossible to steer the board. This problem can be solved by fitting softer bushings but to do that you will need the missing tool kit. Factor in £10 - £15 for new bushings and a tool kit and suddenly the board looks like very poor value for money. In all honesty I cannot recommend this board ................. extremely disappointing.
