its not a bad board. ride like a skateboard and has some pretty good pop. in my opinion it was a little heavy. it does start to dlam after a short time, so that may be an issue, im getting mine replaced by perf ski soon. the best advice to give you is that if you have more money or can wait to get more money, the new integrities are the shiznackle. i just got the new lemons skate and it is the best in the world
