Perfect for middle-aged men with bad knees wanting to hold on to what little youth they have left!
This has been a great board so far. I'm 6'2" and i shop in the husky section, so I was initially concerned about the board supporting my weight, but I've had no issues with it to date. The trucks were a bit wobbly for my liking initially, but once I got them dialed in we were good to go. I mainly use it for cruising the neighborhood and chasing my son around while he's playing outside. More advanced riders might want to upgrade the bearings and/or wheels if you're looking for a little more performance, but I'm built for comfort, not optimal aerodynamics. That said, I have taken it down some hills in the neighborhood and it will pick up speed even with my doughy frame. The neighbors also seem to find it amusing to watch a middle aged man cruising around on a skateboard with his shaky knees and gray hair, but whatever. Considering that I haven't died on it, and it hasn't splintered under my massive frame, I'd say this was a solid purchase. (Pun Intended).
