Ok, I've finally decided to get this board. What are some of the cons? Also, can it support my weight (180)?

It's a really good board for the cheap price. The only problem I have with the board is that it came with skate board wheels instead of long board wheels! But regardless the board is overall really good I love it

Cons is kinda squeaky at first til you break it in my grip tape started chipping but can be fixed so its not a big deal. Doesn't really ride well on the old roads has to be flatter pavement, can be easily fixed by better wheels . But other than these things I love my board it rides smooth & it does support 180 although I only weigh 130 my friend is heavier and she said it rides nice . Overall pretty good board for the price .

No cons that I can tell... I bought it for my son he is 6'5 and weights 235... you will love it.

Oh heck yea I actually way 220 pounds and it supports my weight and I can't really say they're any cons it's fast nice griptape nice smooth design bearings are great spin about 45 seconds which it should spin around 40 so that's really good. Although the wheel from the picture Arnt the wheels you will receive instead of the gel see through wheels which are speed wheels it will be sliding orange color as well and great turning rides smooth and it's really fast feels like you're riding on a cloud lol only problem I had was delivery it went two days past the expected delivery days I was really upset about that but I guess it's not there fault it's fedex fault but other then that I'm still enjoying my board it's amazing

The board is a great board for the price.. I weigh 280 and it holds me just fine.. You really can't go wrong with this set up..

I am 210 lbs and have no problem so I think it would be fine. It is a nice board.

I wouldnt suggest it for anyone over 180. I had to go to lowes for extra boards to reinforce it. The boards they send with the bed arent strong enough to hold the matress. Other than that I love it. If you decide to get it, it is worth it. Just take 1 board to lowes and have them cut extras.

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like. First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

My son is 117 lbs and he doesn't have issues. The board looks sturdy enough for me to ride (if I lost my mind) and I'm pushing 200 lbs.

Well, it handled my 180 pounds just fine. I would not go over 220 pounds on it.

I have this board and love it. It's a great board for beginners. I'm an adult of average weight and this board hasn't broken, it's very well- built. The trucks need to be loosened a lot at first, but other than that it comes fully set up.

I am in the same predicament you are in. I didn't know about the weight factor either. But the board is fine.....I used mine dozens of times without any problem and I am still holding my weight about 145....trying to go lower but it's fine.

@cheetah2000, it is a great board if you are around 110 or more. Is gunna feel weird at first but definatly loosen trucks before you ride.

That's a tough question. I'm 170 and can ride it, but it's on the smaller side because it was designed for a kid so I'd say you're probably better off looking for an adult board.

yes the board is very strong I weight about 107 pounds and it doesn't break. I think the board can hold up to 145 pounds

you need a larger board at your weight .I forget how big they make the board , 44" would be the best , it will be quicker and still carry your weight.

I'm 200 lbs and it's fine for me. I understand this board is a very good value for money. I got it as a starter board and I love it. If it was any smoother I think it would be difficult to learn on, any less smooth and it wouldn't be any fun to ride. I can only speak from my own limited experience but I can say I'm very happy with my purchase.

Not at all. Mine snapped in half. Also the wheels barely spin. Built my own sector nine bamboo board (springy for my weight) 240. Still going strong taking me around campus 3 years later. Save your money and buy a better brand. If not find a used one.

The board is alright for someone of that weight. I'm 210lbs and this was my first board. I recommend this for a beginner, some learning to skate.
