Will not lie this board is not worth 180 bucks new but used it was a steal. Best carver on the market under 200 and it can slide butifully. Abec5 bearings will wear out quickly as well as hardware and grip tape but that can be cheaply replaced.

This longboard is good for commuting and its great for carving. Cool graphic and the clear griptape really shows the beauty of the bamboo, but the griptape can trap dirt easily. Overall this board is a carving machine.
