Great for beginners, but more advanced riders may want to keep looking.

What were the strengths of the deck.: It is a very stable ride with plenty of foot room and having a good sturdy nose and tail are big pluses

Buy these. If you plan to go faster than 20mph, know what bushing set-up to replace the stock bushings with. If you plan on grinding coping, rails, or ledges then replace the king pin with Grind Kings'.

This board is awesome! I can take it down stairs, down hills, to skate parks, and even slide it. But is also great for just cruising around town.

Typical Session Discipline: Old School Street Skating

What were the strengths of the deck.: A Longboard with concave and is very, very durable. Also sweet Led Zeppelin graphic from the stairway to heaven album.
