Does the board turn well?

My girls are young and inexperienced so they don't turn well, but I love the board - it is a good quality board with good wheels. I think if someone can skate the board would turn well.

It rides pretty well on both surfaces! Just overall, the board is rather flimsy compared to another Globe Nickel board I have and the bearings aren't quite as fast. But yeah, I suppose a smooth road is faster than the sidewalk.

We just played this today! Was given to my brother in law for Christmas and he is very happy with it. The board is slicker than a wooden one but for the price and/or if you need one you can transport, it is great! Hope that helps.

I don't use my board daily, but i do use it often enough to know how good the board is. Its a little heavy and hard to turn because of the length of the board. but it is a smooth and safe ride all the way down any hill. I love this board, I hope this helps.

No, spend the money and get a quality board. This board snapped inhalf while my daughter was riding down a hill. She ws not trying to do crazy stuff with the board as it is a long board used for cruising. The board broke all the way across the back screws.

If there's a lot on it, it may not turn easily, but I really haven't had any problems with mine. I would test it w/o anything on it and if it still doesn't turn easily, I would return it for another one.

I've had no problem with my board, it was amazing.. I absolutely fell in love with my board.. Best thing I've ever hard for commuting place to place.. Bearing are awesome, it basically glides on the road..

The wheels seem to slide very well. We got this as a first board for an 8 year old beginner. Not sure how it compares to a penny though. We bought 2 we liked this so well.

My son said it does not turn as good. After using this for awhile he bought a real penny board.

No. But it is the least bit rough. that is good so nothing can slide fi you use this with a sharp knife.I"m using the board as a vinyl turntable support on top of a floating suspension system. The little roughness is good as the turntable feet won't slide around.To me either anyway you use it this is a win-win. It is sturdy. Has not warped even the tiniest bit at all after being positioned vertically for over a year now.

Yes, it does. It is a flat surface. Put lots of paper towels under the board, it will take care of the problem.

Sorry, I cant answer that---I returned it----it came in damaged. I would not recommend the product--the board portion is made of some type of LAME plastic.

Yes, the wheels turn. Steering a bit tight, but am sure that will loosen up a bit with use.

I think it does, as long as you use it on the smooth surface side. I have had to make some big movements in the games I play, and have had no problems.

Yes, the top of the board is smooth, but there is a 1/4 inch on each of the long sides that is not polished

Bumpy as far as road and sidewalk, ur fine after practice. turning is easy, just need to practice leaning and shifting ur weight properly :) *disclaimer- im tiny, so i am unsure wheather size effects how u respond to the board. This is my personal experience*
