Atom Pin-Tail Longboard (39-Inch)

I bought this board a little over a year ago to learn the basics of longboarding. I was pleasantly surprised after receiving it. I weigh 160 lbs, and the board has yet to get any cracks at all. Under my weight, when I jump on, it will flex only around an inch. As far as the components of the board, the trucks are pretty good. I have not had any issues with the trucks at all.I use this board for cruising on unsmooth streets. After my skill level started improving though, I started noticing the board would vibrate a lot, and would make a rattling noise on the streets. To improve this, I started off by switching out the plastic risers, for rubber risers. This somewhat helped, but the issue persisted. After that, I replaced the 65mm rock hard wheels with 69mm 78A Sector 9 wheels. This pretty much solved my issues. My board now rides very smooth over the rough street. This, and the new bearings also made the board much faster and make it go longer on a push. I am guessing it is due to counterproductive vibrations not slowing the board down.In conclusion, if you are just starting to learn, and find a good deal on this board, go for it, but eventually you will want to improve it. If you are going to try improving it, imho, it is more cost effective to get a better board in the first place. Below is a list of what I bought. 30 (good deal on wheels)+15 (new bearings)+ 5 (rubber risers)___ 50After adding those 50 to the price of this board, I think it would have been better to get a higher quality board in the first place. Really though, it is the choice of the buyer. There is really nothing wrong with the board. It is what I learned on, and really, it did not break on me or anything. It just needed a little improvement for my needs.

This longboard is the real deal! I love how easy it is to turn and direct the board to where I want it to go. The wheels roll nicely and wear evenly over time.The board has nice traction and the surface is durable.This is a nice board to kick around with and take places. I have had it for a few years now and it’s still in great condition! I would recommend this board to beginners and those that want a nice secondary board. It’s still actually my main riding board years later.

The box it came in was a joke, it wasn't even wrapped all the way and the tape wasn't secured on. There was no packaging in it so the board was just rattling around in that big box. This is my first longboard, but talking to some of my more experienced friends, it rolls super slow. They had to loosen the wheels for me and suggested I spray some w-2 on it to get it rolling faster. I got it about 6 months ago and it's my main transportation, especially for work, and it hasn't broken down on me yet.

I needed a cruising board for college and purchased this board 10 months ago. The board is beautiful! Great colors and sturdy deck, but that's about where the good quality ends. The trucks and wheels on this board are simply cheap. They don't tighten or loosen well, the wheels aren't big enough for comfortable cruising (I board over flat roads/sidewalks and it STILL wasn't comfortable...) and turning with the original trucks was just sad.Since it was my first time learning how to board, I thought I was just bad at it and needed more practice so I continued using the same trucks and wheels. Around 2 months ago, I upgraded to Sector 9 bearings, wheels and trucks. I immediately felt a HUGE difference...and the best part? I didn't stink at riding the board as much as I thought! If you can't financially swing a whole bearing, wheel and trucks replacement at least go with a good quality set of trucks...you'll be able to actually turn a full circle and maneuver well.

I decided to purchase this longboard for my boyfriend after doing ALOT of research on "the top longboards" for the year and this one was within the price point that I wanted to spend as well as being ranked on the top 5. He LOVES it and he would definitely recommend it. He is an avid, experienced skateboarder and said that it works well for both the beginners as well as the experienced.

To start off, delivery was on point; the board arrived by the earliest estimated date.This is a first for me. This is the first board I have ever bought. I've never long boarded before. I've never been on any sort of board before. With that said, I can confidently say that I love it. I love the board. I love being on it. I've spent hours getting the hang of it ever since it came in. It's great. I don't have much to say in regards to the trucks and bearings being a newbie and all. The only downer to the board is that rough, dark grey material of the deck falls off in pieces quite easily. It's cool though, just have to be a bit more careful I guess. Overall, it's a pretty sweet board. Smooth cruising and affordable at $49.95 and $16 of shipping (especially in comparison with other complete boards out there).

I got this board a couple of weeks ago. It's my first longboard, and it's perfect for cruising around a college campus. Like every longboard I've read about on Amazon, you'll want to change the wheels and bearings. Bones seems to be the go-to maker for bearings. As for wheels, read some guides online to find the ones suited for your needs. Next is the trucks. They're aluminum, and seem durable enough. No issues with the mounting, either. That finally brings us to the deck. If you're even slightly intelligent, you'll know not to put your weight right in the center. It will put way too much strain on it, but that's simple physics. I'm 6' 1", and about 180 pounds, and I don't have any problem riding this board. The design is a little too colorful though. To me it's like having Spiderman on your board or some other cartoon crap. Stick with the stripes if you want better style. 4/5 because the wheels were relatively expensive to replace.

Kids love it. Feels well made but I suspect it is a beginner board. One issue is that the board is slightly warped. Doesn't sit perfectly on the road- fine once you stand on it but uneven on its own.

WOW!! This is an amazing beginner board it is very easy to turn and good for price I'm a beginner and i find it very easy to ride it. I suggest this board

So far so good, has served me very well for getting around the city and is equally effective for just taking a joyride down by the riverfront, had to tighten things up a bit after the first few rides but I expected that - looks great and rides better!

I bought this as a gift and let me tell you it is a vey good board for beginners. If you never had a longboard and wish to learn, I recommend this board as it is not expensive and is of very good quality. Atom Longboard is a very good brand that have a futur in the longboard industry!

Great long board. Son is 14 and he loves it
