Would this board be good for someone 180 pounds?

I think if you go on their website it will tell you the weight max for each skateboard. This one was particularly recommended for children so I would guess it might not be the best one.

I bought one for my 10 year old. I am about your size, and don't think I would trust it. With the length of the board, it has a lot of flex to the board when I start to step on it. Note that my tendancy is to fall off the things, so I don't know how long it would actually hold up.

I think that depends. Is balance something you need to work on as well? If so, I would get a bigger board to give you more space to practice.

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

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 have the Metolius simulator on it, and it's pretty heavy. I personally would not trust a thin piece of plywood because that plywood should support your weight + the holds and the board. The board is probably around 5-10 lbs.

I weigh around 200 lbs. And get very little flex. It's a pretty solid board.

My son is 80lbs and that board feels like it can take really up to a 100lb max. It is narrow and would not be stable under a heavier load.

This is a four Ply board and pretty flexible and I am at 6'1 165..personally I think that 190 pounds and above, would be pushing the boards max weight. Muirskates' website says that the 5 ply is recommended for the 200lb. and over/ crowd. Check out Muirskates for further guidance. That being said, the board rides like a Sidewalk Cadillac and it is just about as long at 43.5 inches.

In a word No. It won't support a 180 lb man -- it is wobbly and unstable. I bought it and returned it to the vendor for a refund (minus the significant shipping costs).

I'm not sure. I am 180 and have no problems I am sure it could hold 200+ It's sturdy

I weigh 225 and have had no problems with the board. It has a rating for 300 lbs should be ok for 260.

Yes, it would be too big. I rode this board and I'm 170 pounds. Here's a site that lets you build a board for your kid: http://www.skatexs.com/It's definitely a much pricier option. If nothing else, this might give you an idea of what you should be looking for.

Can't say for sure-no one over 180lbs had sat on ours. The frame is sturdy, possibly where the seat screws to the frame might not hold up under all circumstances.

Yes! I'm a 105lb girl and for the price it's pretty good. But if you want an actual "cruising" board, you might need to pick up some new gel/rubber wheels so you don't have to constantly kick every second and loosening the board is better for turns.

At 120 you should be ok. But you if like to ride on your knees or whats called drop knee ( thats front leg up back leg knee) a stiffer board is preferred. I suggest the mach 7-7 for this stance. Im am 230 and this board does not bend at all. Hope this helped. Board on!
