Is this board good for cruising or little hills? Is it also good for mild transportation?

I bought this for my boys and they rode it to school (2 miles) they said it was good for long rides and fine on small hills.

Depends on your weight, I'm 125 and it is pretty flexy, and it can get annoying, but for a first time bored if you're just getting into it, it will do fine for mild transport, little hills and cruising :)

Great for trips to the corner store. I keep in it my trunk and its been handy when I break down or run out of gas. Very stable ride. Gets the most distance per push than other non drop down longboards I've owned. My only gripe is the turning ratio. Wide turns. Itll take looser trucks and more balance to turn sharply.

I owned this board and the deck was good. It was a bouncy board. You should change the trucks and wheels because the wheels and trucks were not good.

I wouldn't really consider this a slide board it's more for cruising. I'm not sure about the wheels though.

The Board is flat, Very little if any concave. It can turn tightly and is very flexible for me. I weigh 220lbs. Grip tape comes applied and is not harsh of you plan to ride barefoot, and Can get slippery when wet.

I have the drop deck board and i aswell use it for transportation, cruising, etc. this bored is super smooth and i reccomend it, wood of the deck is not the best but for the price you'll be satisfied.. So yes a drop deck would fit what you need

Yes. Its a great board for the price. Just make sure to loosen the nuts when it arrives to get a better ride.

I am not into tricks, but I can tell you that in my opinion the wood part is sturdy, and the trucks are not top of the line, the wheel are the trick wheels, so I changed them to cruiser wheels. All in all a good value, and a good beginner board.

I have ridden this board a couple times downhill and it performs well. The trucks aren't the best and its a bit heavy but for the price its a good board

I don't use my board daily, but i do use it often enough to know how good the board is. Its a little heavy and hard to turn because of the length of the board. but it is a smooth and safe ride all the way down any hill. I love this board, I hope this helps.

yes, but of course you will want to tighten the trucks or bring a wrench with you to adjust to your preference depending on the type of riding and speed, also of course wear proper protection... great board for the price, and looks good too..

Question: "Can you go down hill with this board?" Answer: Yes! You most certainly can! I absolutely love this purchase! It's perfect for cruising, hills, curves and slopes! :)

It does. Going downhill and on flat is pretty great. The trucks aren't amazing - but if you're looking for a faster pace, just invest in better trucks.

I could slide, but wheels are terrible! Had to do way too much pushing... Not enough coasting, you're better off spending about 130 on a good board, I've been boarding for 5 years so sliding a no problem. And also the deck is way too flexible...

It depends on kind of skating the skater wants to do. The wheels are fairly hard, so longer gliding rides aren't as possible as with the cruiser style wheels. If you want to do tricks, then the wheels should fine. I bought this as a first skateboard for my daughter to learn on. I then got a cruiser for my son. The difference in the ride-ability was noticeable.

It glides easily. It doesn't like a lot of movement though, unless you don't mind endlessly tightening the nuts.

Hello,Long boards are dominantly for cruising, but you could do some awesome tricks if you wanted too. See the link below : https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz;=1C1LENP_enUS465US465&ion;=1&espv;=2&ie;=UTF-8#q=tricks%20on%20a%20longboardThanks,TGMCustomer Service

The board will pick up speed quickly but requires a lot of pushing too. Depends on how many hills are on your route and how smooth the road is. Great board for the price, worth a shot..

Well this board is heavy and kinda rides slow on level ground, but downhill is ok, I actually jus changed the wheels on it and the ride is ok. But the atom drop deck I haven't had a chance to try it out, but it may be a better choice........"may be", not too sure tho.
