Atom All-Terrain Longboard - 39" , Woody

Just exactly what a novice would enjoy!Be sure to buy the safety gear if you're new to the sport - and more importantly- have strategies for how to dismount any board safely since you are the brake!! Medical bills are no fun - especially when you think how many more boards you could'a bought instead of paying for surgeries!!!!🥴🤕 seriously!

The board got here finally, took a while when talking amazon standards. No damage as you can see in the photos. Added a video to show how absolutely horrible the roads here in my area are (while riding a crappy kryptonics i probably paid more for than I did this board!) I really wanted to give this board 5 stars. It rolls and cuts like a dream. It's like a Cadillac, you know how the suspension when you're driving over a bridge holds you like a cloud and when turning on an off-ramp is like a never ending hold-you-in-your-seat gravity shove? Yeah man, it's like that. Sturdy. solid. heavy!!! taking it places you can't roll (not because the board won't go because I am not sure there is such a thing. lol but where authorities frown upon it) you can grab a truck and let the back end roll along behind you making the weight less of an issue. so the ONE thing that they really NEED TO ADDRESS... And I've only seen one other reviewer mention this which blows my mind... The back wheel base making the wheel stick out farther than the width of the deck IS DANGEROUS!!!! EVERYTHING else is awesome. I wanna fly down the road (in FL we have to push ourselves, we don't have hills to help us) and I DO NOT want to be constantly focused on whether I'm pushing squatting like a duck to ensure my back wheel doesn't send me literally flying because my pushing foot grazes the wheel. I am pretty skilled at bailing and preventing serious injury but so far I've got a twisted ankle and a massive strawberry on my elbow. I still use it and even while being aware of this issue I continuously hit the back wheel. It's an issue and I guess I'll be buying the correct size trucks which sucks. I thought I was getting a deal. But I guess the deck and wheels are worth 100 bucks alone. Just kinda disappointed. Hope this helps. I'd still recommend this but not for a beginner.Update: after a few months riding this board daily and getting into the hang of it's weight (and ordering new bushings cause mine were too soft) I've changed my mind. The wheels still could be tucked in a bit more for my tastes but I no longer go flying every time I graze them. It's takes some bailing and some wipeouts but I'm in love with my board.

I bought this longboard on a whim. My 9yo and 6yo daughters recently started skateboarding and I found myself bored while at the park, watching them skateboard around on the basketball court. I had thought about getting myself a skateboard, but as a 44-yo, 5'11, 250lb guy, I didn't think it would be a good idea for me to get on a regular skateboard again. I knew I wasn't going to be doing tricks like I did as a teen and would likely end up hurting myself. I had just wanted something fun to cruise around on while the girls were riding. I thought a longboard would be fun. Around the same time, it just so happened that I saw this longboard featured on Slickdeals.net and for a good price. So I pulled the trigger and ordered it. With that said, I LOVE THIS LONGBOARD!!!As a bigger guy, I was concerned about whether this longboard would be sturdy enough for my weight. The board is solid. It easily handles my weight and feels very sturdy. The longboard wheels are great. I love that they are oversized and can go on pavement, grass, or packed earth and transition between the two with little issue. As I was riding it yesterday, I was amazed at how smooth a ride I was having. The smooth ride definitely helped me gain my confidence after not skateboarding for the last 25 years. From a control standpoint, this longboard makes easy work of going over cracks or small rocks in the sidewalk or pavement. It's real easy to shift your weight and make some pretty tight turns. Again, that really helped me with getting back into riding confidently.Overall, I love this board. I had so much fun out riding with my daughters yesterday. The loved that I wasn't just there playing on my phone while they were riding around, but rather riding around with them. I definitely can't wait to ride this more often when the weather is nicer. Great product!!!

Works well.
