Sanview Bamboo Longboard Skateboard Cruiser for Kids Adults

The media could not be loaded.  I love this board. I have skated on many different style boards over the years from old school boards to nickel boards but never a long board. Just had an urge to get one. I did my research and decided on this Sanview blackline. First time out of the box took it for a ride, smooth rolling, cruising and easy turning coming from a beginning long boarder. This board looks great and rides great. Can’t wait to cruise some more. P.S. I’m 40 years old. Don’t judge me. I like to have fun. 🤣☀️😎

This is a very good board. The deck itself is high quality and i like the graphic.At first the board was stiff and slow. I grabbed a socket wrench 14mm and loosened up the trucks and now it steers much better. But it was slow.THen I grabbed the 13mm socket wrench and loosened all 4 wheels by a full 50% turn. Then I saw that the wheels spinned for alot longer when the board is upside down.Then i got back on the board and the speed was significantly faster. I recommend others to do the same, you have to play with the tightness and do so only a half-turn at a time and then ride the board and see how it reacts.I also can feel that the board is "breaking in" as I ride it more and more and every time I get on it I feel that the speed has increased and the turning radius as well. Keep in mind if you loosen up the trucks too much that it will be easier to steer but you will lose speed. So you want the trucks as tight as possible while still allowing you to steer.Maybe loosen the trucks only 25% of a turn at a time and then get on the board and ride it. This is the important test, not just turning the board upside down and spinning the wheels. The REAL test is to ride the actual board. Its kind of like tuning a guitar or adjusting the action on a guitar neck. You may buy a new electric guitar and think the guitar sucks until it has been properly adjusted and tuned. And it is the same with a longboard.More advice: Give it at least a full 7 days of skating daily before you make a final conclusion about the board. Let the board "break-in" before you make your final judgement. Especially if this is your first longboard.Also dont upgrade the bearings or trucks or wheels right away. Skate on it for a month before you do any upgrades. This way you will develop a baseline and then you can see if the new bearings or wheels you buy are actually an improvement over the stock configuration (In many cases the stock parts are good enough for your first 3 months of learning).You are not Tony hawk and probably the upgrades are wasted on a new rider who barely has any skills developed. I mean if you stink as a new rider you are not going to go much faster even with expensive upgrades so spend more time skating and less time buying upgrades.

TLDR: 9.5/10! WORTH THE MONEY!I am shocked. This board is excellent. For the price, you would be hard pressed to find anything else of half this quality.Board is fairly flexible and spring under my 210lbs so for lighter riders it will be fairly firm.Use conditions: daily ridingOwnership: 2 monthsBest for: cruisingPros:-Very reasonable cost!-Sturdy and very unique looking board!-Cool color options-Very comfortable ride-Turns very sharp while keeping surprising stability.-material is safe in the rain (though your bearings aren't!)-Durable-The trucks look sick AFCons:-Material scuffs easily. While the integrity isn't affected at all, if you're the kind who cares about keeping your board pristine looking this may not be for you.-bearings that come with it kinda suck. Bit I haven't bought a complete they didn't on, and they are perfectly functional until you can afford to upgrade-bolts are torx, not Philips or standard so my skate tool didn't fit. Easy to replace or ignore.-high stance rather than drop through comes at the cost of stability to a small degree.overall: excellent board, well worth the money, or even more! Great board for people starting out!

This is my first board, I absolutely love this board and I've gotten asked about it so much already too. I've only had it for 3 weeks and have already put at least a good 15-20 miles on this thing. I didn't think picking up longboarding would be so easy but I picked it up with a few days, and I'm 24, almost 25.Bearings, wheels, and trucks are great!! And the finish on the board is flawless! Only thing I'd change is the stripes on the bottom being filled in taking away from the natural look the top stripe has between the grip tape. Aside from that, the board is a great one for anyone, from beginners to experienced it seems like.I've got a few friends who've been riding both longboards and skateboards for much longer than I have (which is why I bought it) and they were very impressed with the quality of the board, as was I!! They've never heard of the brand but when they tested it out for themselves they were very tempted to order one for themselves!

This is the second longboard I've ever owned. When I first got it, the trucks needed to be tightened a little bit and the wheel bearings spun for about 2 seconds before stopping.I know that bearings need some time to wear in so I went out for a ride that I've taken on my other board, a couple of hills here or there and I had to bail out a couple times. It picked up speed so quickly. No wobbles.For 50 bucks, I'm pretty happy. Will probably edit this in a couple weeks once the bearings are broken in, see if I've had to replace them or if they are broken in.
