VOLADOR Freeride Longboard Cruiser | Maple Wood Deck| Drop Through Longboard Complete

lo ve it easy to use

So, after several month of using this board, I have to say the previous model of this board was much better than this one, for many reasons. Of course, this current board (at least the new designs) is a new build for the board. It feels very stiff before breaking everything in, but after a while of using it everything becomes a lot looser and smoother basically. I would recommend switching out the bearings after about 2 months of use just because theyre not the best but they get the job done for whatever youre doing. The board itself is concave which is nice because it allows for easy maneuvering of your feet and allow everything to feel a lot smoother, at least in my experience. The one thing I dont like about this is how stiff it feels. Its not as flexible as before, and even if there was no flex before it felt like there was. I dont know how to explain it, but its just a different feel. Also, i noticed on my specific board some of the screws on the plates holding the trucks through the drop-through hole were coming loose, so you might wanna watch those screws to make sure nothing comes out and messes stuff up. Overall, this board is amazing for anyone who is looking at a cheap-end board that works for just about anything. The build is amazing and feels high quality, and doesnt seem to make any expenses right off the bat. Great board for the price, and will last long considering I had to buy a new one cause the one that I bought a year ago was super worn from use. In any case, I would recommend this board 100%

The board arrived just yesterday. I got this for myself because I usually ride a Santa Cruz cruiser and wanted a longboard that would let me ride and relax a little bit more. Great board pretty much right out of the box. The board is a good size; 40 is neither incredibly long or short. The deck is a little flexy without feeling unstable. The wheels are very soft. The trucks turn VERY well without any adjustment. Of course, as with any cheap board, the bearings arent great, but those are easily changed (They were better than my Santa Cruz stock bearings, though). Adjustments to be made before you ride at all: Tighten up the screws holding the trucks to the board. They were a little loose when I got the board, so I used a 3/8 inch six-point socket wrench and a Phillips screwdriver to tighten that up. Loosen up the nuts over the wheels. They come screwed on very tight. I used the middle sized socket on my skateboard T-tool to loosen up each one about 30 degrees. A full quarter turn (45 degrees) seemed like a little too much.

When I bought this, I had no longboarding experience. I had friends who all longboarded and I wanted to join them, so I started researching beginner boards. My primary reason for buying this particular board was actually the koi fish on the top and the pink and teal art on the bottom. I love riding this board and looking down to see the koi beneath my feet. I also love that I picked up a new hobby and its a great way to spend time with friends and explore new cities. Now Ive had it for about two years and its got some wear on it, but its been a great first board and I still ride it all the time.

I bought this to ride to my college classes and I use it all the time. It has held up pretty good and I havent gotten hurt riding it yet. For being an online low price board, I have no complaints.

This thing is beautiful. From the graphic design to the shape of the board and it’s concave shape. The ride is sooo smooth and the wide wheels and flex make it so comfortable to ride it. Of course the value factor is out of the water good and you get way more than what you pay for. Now.... for the 1 reduced star rating... the vendor quality control is very lacking. We had originally placed an order for the lemonade design which is a greenish/yellow color pattern. Well, they sent us the cocktail color pattern instead which is the same pattern as lemonade but purple hues. Funny thing is that the bag the bird came in had a label that said “Lemonade” which is obviously wrong. Also, we noticed 2 of the wheels had marks like if they’d been sitting on something hard which made a permanent indentation on the outside edges. 2 of the 4 wheels had this issue. We returned this order and asked for a new Lemonade model. Well, guess what... same exact issues on the new one. Wrong color (cocktail) was received again while label on bag said lemonade, and once again, wheels had permanent knicks/marks on 2 of the 4 wheels. Returned it again for a refund and place a new order for a different color pattern (Fuji summer). Finally!!!! Got the right color, and wheels were perfect. Even though this was a pain, we persisted because we could tell right away with even the slightly issued boards that these are great long boards. Very happy now. Hoping this is just a warehouse quality issue They can fix rapidly and you don’t experience this yourself. Enjoy!

My 10 year old bought this for her first longboard. Overall it’s pretty good, but had to mark it down a star because 1 wheel had a 1/4” chunk taken out of it but it’s in the sidewall so no effect on the ride and I highly doubt these are abec7 bearings. Other daughters more expensive boards have ABEC 7 and these ones are not as smooth. It’s fine for a 10 year old learner and maybe the lesser bearing keeps her a bit slower anyway. Didn’t contact the seller cause not worth getting a new board since she will bang it up anyway and she likes it. For the money and a learner it’s a good board to buy.

Pros: - Board looks good. - Works fine. Cons: - The packaging was terrible. The box came severely damaged. The packaging wasnt great either. However, the longboard itself was not hurt and thus I wont rate deduct more than 1 star for that. - Bearings arent very good. I strongly recommend switching them out. If youre new to it, dont worry its super easy just look up a YouTube tutorial. Youll need to buy some bearings and a tool to unscrew the wheels. I personally used: * https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075HVWRGM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 * Then used these bearings: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XXK6FPQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 * Also, its worth noting that when taking off the wheels you will see two very thin washers or something (not sure what theyre called). One on each side of the wheel. Be sure the smooth side is against the wheel otherwise the wheel wont spin as fast & easily.

This Longboard is okay at best. The first problem with this board is the bearings. If you intend on keeping this board, the bearings will need to be replaced. The ones that came on my board were slow and already dirty, they were also loud and grinding. My board also had a washer missing on one wheel. Also, for a board that comes with bearing spacers, I shouldnt have to loosen the nut on the wheels for them to turn freely. I replaced the bearings with Bones Reds, which was a much better replacement. The second problem with this board is the truck bushings. The bushings are super soft and squeak a lot. Also, the pivot/cup bushing seems too small or the pivot hole in the truck base plate is too big... The pivot is very loose and doesnt sit very nicely inside the cap. Rest of the truck seems fine though. I will be replacing the bushings that came with the board. The board does flex, but it does not seem like comfortable flex like you would get on a nice expensive deck meant to flex. Well see how the deck performs. Luckily this board is for my girl-friend and she is rather light. At the end of the day, this is a pretty cheap complete board at 60 bucks. For a bit of extra money, you can turn it into a decent board. The parts that seem decent on this board are the wheels, the grip tape, the hardware, and the decal on the bottom of the board. This is my experience with the board. I will mention that I read through pages of reviews on this board before I bought it, unfortunately I got the sense that other peoples reviews may not be the most honest and then I started seeing that people were getting these discounted in return for honest reviews. I almost always stay away from products that have reviews like that, and for good reason. Companies should not need to buy reviews, the product should speak for itself. So, buyer beware. If you are looking for a good board that you can get shipped and immediately ride without issue or replacing anything, get a Sector 9. Those have always been a quality board in my experience. You pay a little more, but I can guarantee you that you will be more satisfied. Riding this board vs a Sector 9 out of the box is a night and day difference (the Sector 9 will actually roll).

Came with some cracks in the board, trucks and wheels should be changed when getting for a better ride but the deck is solid and great for anyone who is just starting out!
