ATOM Drop Longboard - Green, 41 Inch

Bought the Atom 41" drop through long board after researching as much as I could about starter long boards. I wanted something decent but not too expensive and I certainly didn't want a no name product that couldn't be trusted.This model came up frequently in a lot of sites detailing top 5 starter boards so I went with it.In terms of quality, it is solidly built and looks very nice. The length is decent and makes it easy to ride. I feel much more comfortable and confident standing on this than a skateboard.As for riding, it's very slow on flat ground but that's probably because the wheels need loosening a touch, but I love the fact that the wheels are larger and wider than a typical skate board. I haven't tried loosening them yet but they don't spin freely so I'm sure that's why.However, downhill is another story. Long boards are designed for downhill and this Atom goes scarily fast. I have to warn you it is very speedy and I've gone faster than expected on what seemed like gentle slopes. There's a quite a rush when you're bombing it, although it's a bit scary!Maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to loosen the wheels considering the above.The turning radius is very wide. Again, this could be improved if I loosened the trucks. Having said that, a 41" board does have a wide turn compared to a smaller 36" for instance. So far, I've had difficulty turning corners unless they're generously wide. I may just need practice though.Overall, it's a nice looking and well constructed board, which suits me fine.

I started longboarding with this board, before I've been using a penny board, I'm very happy of this purchase, the table is very comfortable and stable, trucks are very smooth, I was able to start carving after few try. The only problem was the delivery, late and the delivery people wasn't professional at all, even though the seller was very kind and disposable helping me to solve delivery problems, I'd suggest to ask for another delivery service if you want to buy this longboard, it's a very good one by the way!

I checked sooo many reviews for longboards on here and skateboard shops. in ended up buying this one as it had the best reviews and on top an unbeatable price. I haven't regretted the purchase once! My bf and I were completely new to boarding but with the atoms board, we started to roll :-) Great gift that made long ways shorter and brought a lot of fun to our busy lives.

The board I learned on and it is super easy to ride because of how low and long it is. I chose this because of the good reviews and because I'm 6 1" and 15 stone so I wanted a larger board. It has some flex which is nice but not as common in higher range boards typically. The wheels are nice and soft, great for gripping and cruising around quietly and for long distances. FANTASTIC for the price and made learning fun and easy. HOWEVER! The kingpin on the trucks is really short so when I bought new Venom bushings, they were too big for the nut to screw onto the end. Very frustrating.

This is the first board I ever had s I didn't know what to expect. It was a great size however the wheels have tiny chunks come out if you catch too many stones but so far this hasn't effected the ride at all. It's really easy to steer after about half an hours practice and already after two days of practise I'm bombing down my hill into the local village. I've even been stopped by the police once for going over the speed limit! :D

Very good board. I have done about 100 km on dusty roads with this board and it still rides perfecly. The best part of this board is flexibility going on bumby roads and speed bumbs even on high speed. U can even slide with it, jus need to release bushings. One thing i missed is speed rings on outside between the bearings and the bolt. But they are very cheap in any skateboard shop, so i recommend buying speed rings for a faster ride.

Very impressed! The board was delivered the day after ordering it and came in excellent condition. I've been out on it about 3 times and it's awesome! I tightened the trucks a bit but that's personal preference, might order some different bearings but will see if these ones loosen up when they have broke in but other than that I love it! Wish I had more time to get out on it! Great board.

With three strong pushes it can travel 200 meters. Also very good grip for carving. But you need to change the wheels if you want to slide. Easy to have a wheel bite during sliding and that is the reason I haven't tried downhill with it. It absorbs the bumps of the road perfectly and its not hard for the knees. Excelent value for money board. At this price I don't think I could find a better board.
