> 24 hourMy child recently became interested in longboatding but neither of us know anyone close to us rhar skates. Magneto had very explanations of each of their boards, and it helped! The Hana is perfect with the right amount of stability, stiffness, and control. Very smooth ride. Everyone in the fam wants one now!

> 24 hourUpdate 4/12/2022 - So I replaced the spacers/bearings and I put the original wheels that came with the board. The wheels spin smooth now and no issue. I ran into another problem during a test ride. I heard a odd noise like a crack when I was riding. Now I have to replace the hardware too. I weigh around 175lbs during the ride all I did was push, carve, and kept it mellow. I am seriously thinking of replacing the trucks all together with a well known brand I have several boards from. I understand things happen and products have issues from time to time. Kind of ridiculous to have to replace all of these things. Just to go for a ride. In the future I will stick with my preferred brands. I added a new photo of where the board currently sits. It has my other two boards on top of it when I am not riding. I just hope the board holds up when riding it once I get everything switched out... Original Review - The board looks great and I am very happy with it. I searched for the tool that was supposed to come with it, and there was no tool. No worries I have plenty of skate tools on hand. I tested the wheels and they barely spun so I tried adjusting them first. It made no difference how loose I went. I decided to pull the wheels and bearings/spacers off. I had one heck of a time getting two of the wheels off and the bearings were difficult to remove from the wheels. When I finally got them off I decided put on new bearings and wheels off of my Carver Black Tip. The Roundhouse set with the Carver bearings spun beautifully. Maybe I got a dud with the wheel bearings/spacers on this board, no biggie. I really like how stable this board is when I jumped up and down. Also The ride is nice even though I switched out the wheels and bearings. Control was nice. The trucks are decent and I made sure to add some lube in the pivots it squeaked a bit. There was no lube in either pivots. It was a smooth ride for a quick test today. I think I am eventually going to grab new wheels and bearings for this board in the future. Please check your quality control. Other than that I am quite happy.

> 24 hourBought this longboard impulsively for college, and didnt end up using it too much in the daylight because I was scared Id fall in front of people. I currently am using it for a daily work commute of around 3 miles and I love the thing. The only concerning aspect of the board is the flex. The flex does give a smooth ride, however sometimes you will bounce around kinda like youre on a trampoline. This flex also means that when you are standing on the board, the board sags a little, and the board is almost in a U shape while riding it. No matter, I learned how to ride on it, and use it reliably every day and, considering the price, would recommend it to anyone considering picking up the hobby!

> 24 hourI am 24 years old and decided that I wanted to try and longboard. It is something that I wanted to do as a kid but I wasn’t fortunate enough to have gotten one. I did some research and found this board to be the best for the price range. When the package arrived I noticed that the box the board came in was ripped and looked like it had been tossed around pretty hard. I opened that box and inside was the board wrapped in a plastic bag and nothing else. No paperwork of any sort, which I found strange but I didn’t think much of it. Finally I get to the board. I take it out of the plastic bag and I am just amazed at the quality and look of the board. This is my first board I have ridden but I can say that this is a very smooth riding board. One thing that I noticed was that all eight screws that hold the trucks were loose. I had to tighten them up. One thing I am going to upgrade is the bearings but the wheels, trucks, and boards itself are made of great quality.

> 24 hourIve been longboarding only for about 3 months and I only really longboard on campus to get to classes faster. My first board was a hand me down (Wiisham if you must know) and in comparison to Magneto, it was so much effort with a lot more pushing. I can cruise for so far with just one push and its sturdy -- I dont really fear pebbles or sticks, I just roll over them. However, when I go fast downhill, it gets wobbly? And then I fall. Im just a beginner so maybe its technique. Also note I didnt change the bearings, trucks, or wheels. Its an amazing complete board in my opinion.

> 24 hourI purchased this board on 6/3/18 When I first received it I had an issue with getting the wheels and bearings off of the trucks. So I deployed tools to try and remove them, so I could replace the bearings with Reds, but in the end was only able to get 3 of the 4 wheels off. The one that stayed was the right side of the front trunk. I wrote quite a review for Magneto and returned that board. And to my surprise magneto actually reached out to me! And said they wanted to send me a new board on them! When I received the replacement board with the same problem describe above. I contacted magneto and they sent me one replacement truck and now the board works as it should. But I’ve still gone ahead and replaced the bearings with reds, and the bushings and wheels with orangutans. Now the board carves like a dream and looks even better! But it costs $130 for the board and $95 for the Reds and Orangutans to get to this point. The problem is while this product looks awesome. And that is exact the reason I was so eager to receive it. Other than the deck this board uses low quality parts. The bearings do not roll like skate bearings, the wheels are of Moderat quality, the bushings lack control and squeak a lot, but most frustrating! Some of the trucks were made to the wrong specifications. Making it impossible for you to remove the wheels and bearings. Particularly the right side on the front truck! It’s slightly cone shaped so you can put the bearings on but you can’t take them off. But on the other hand magneto seems to stand by their products and so far the communications I have had with magneto and their customer service is top notch! And what I would expect from a company like Apple or Keurig. Not a skateboard company, I thought all company’s had given up on their customers. But I guess not magneto! And if you’ve made it this far and still want the board I say “JUST DO IT” that deck is worth the potential problems and even if they do occur Magneto will be there to help you resolve it. I just suggest trying to remove the wheels once you get it to ensure your board is not affected by this problem too.

> 24 hourRetiring an old handmedown Loaded drop through deck, and this is honestly so light and reactive to the riders directional control that, paired with Sidewinder trucks and good ceramic bearings, taking even some of the tightest turns becomes reasonable. Light as hell, feels like youre floating

> 24 hourPROS: The riding is so smooth and it comes ready to ride right out of the box. What I love about this board is that it is high off the ground due to the risers they put in with the trucks of the board and how quickly it can cut and carve around things. It is also super steady when pushing off the ground and it is great for both bombing hills or just cruising around. The length and design of the board are also very nice because its not too short nor too long and its deck is stable while riding downhill. CONS: There was only one minor dent in the tip of the board when it arrived to my house due to shipping and handling but it wasnt a big deal since I figured I was gonna put some more dents and scratches on it eventually anyways. Another thing is that the wheels and bearings dont roll for very long so you might have to loosen up your wheels or change your bearings for more riding and less pushing. Last thing is that this board can cut and carve super fast and easily if you have the trucks loosened up but if you are planning on going downhill please tighten the trucks to make it more stable or else you will wreck like I did.

> 24 hourThis long board is super fun! My daughter loves it and I (mom) ride it too! Its nice and wide and light weight, which makes it easy for a beginner and more advanced would love it too. It seems like the bearings are a bit tight or not very fast. Its seems like it should go faster. Might need to upgrade bearings. But overall its a great skate board and feels well made!
