Picked up one of these after about 20 years off any kind of skating to get back on a board and find my feet. Having a nice wide and long deck sitting so close to the ground made getting back to rolling around very easy and was happy to discover that you can skate over practically any stones and curbs you encounter having such big wide wheels. The only thing I have done to it in the 6 months I've had it is upgraded the bearings to something better quality and dialled in the trucks to my preference and am very happy with it all in all. One minor problem I've had in the last week has been small cracks starting from where the trucks mount coming inward but it appears to be just the top layer of the deck and hasn't spread or worsened since. Highly recommend the double$down back hander especially to those who aren't the most experienced or haven't got a ton of recent skating experience
