Would this be a good cruising board or is it hard to push around on surfaces that aren't downhill?

It's a good cruiser but if you really wanna glide around then buy this and toss some $15 reds bearings on it or some thee bearing. The standard ones are smooth as heck but if you want ridiculous cruise distances then just pick up some bearings.

it runs good on smooth or semi-smooth surface, not sure on bearings. buy one you'll have fun!!

This board is great at coasting long distances around curves, hills and straight areas. Not for doing any ramp jumping or things made for short skateboards.

It's pure low and fun for lil Olly about the gravel i don't think would be a problem unless if use for skate board over all the only problem is that slide a lot does't stick at all on the ground . Aloha

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.

it might be a little slippery for a smooth surface like that. If the deck is older and a little beat up, the lifeboard would probably grip a little better than on a new deck.

Yes it is amazing for cruising around on! I just got it today, but it has been a nice ride so far! Very smooth!

This is probably not the board for you then. Going slightly uphill, two pushes won't get you very far. It's something that can be adjusted if you change the wheels maybe

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.

Not really its actually more of a sliding board. Easy to move gets you ready for better boards.

I've had friends who are way heavier ride it just fine. The only problem is the board looks like it's caving in, but obviously never breaks. Enjoy!

It is very sturdy and would take a good deal of force to move when riding. You will be fine.

I ve done it with shortboards and it was fineI don t know about longboards though.I try to avoid using the freeway, but reasonably, I think I should be fine

It's pretty good at turning but the bushings are really soft so if you want to it to be tighter for speed runs, go out and get some harder ones. That said, the board is great, rides like a dream and is great for cruising around and having a good ride. Also, the wheels are pretty good for slides if your into that.

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

I'm 200 lbs and it's fine for me. I understand this board is a very good value for money. I got it as a starter board and I love it. If it was any smoother I think it would be difficult to learn on, any less smooth and it wouldn't be any fun to ride. I can only speak from my own limited experience but I can say I'm very happy with my purchase.

Not at all. It's a great board for the money. I bought one for my son back in February and he has been riding it 5-6 days a week. Strong deck, good wheels that handle pavement really well.
