Depends how old your friend is. I got it for my son a couple of years ago. He is 13 now. It is a good product. Does your friend have good size hills to ride it on? We also bought protective gear! :)

MBX makes awesome mountain boards. I would recommend upgrading to a board with better trucks. I know it represents a significant price increase, but it is worth it when it comes to ease of ride and performance.

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.

I don't know where to get one. Ours is second hand & didn't have one. I will warn my son about the wind. They live on top of a mountain!!

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:)

That's exactly why I bought this board. After a year of college, I'd say it's OK for everyday use. It has good wheels and bearings so you don't have to push as much as most similar sized skateboards. However, it's thick wooden deck and length make it annoying to carry after a while. Also, it's a pintail cruiser, so it's turning radius kinda sucks. As far as longboards go, it's nice. If you do buy it and plan on using a lot or for bombing hills, I recommend installing bigger wheels and risers(not necessary though, comes with decent hardware).

This one is my first and only I love it. And you never really know what suits you until you try it out. Some people like long boards and some penny boards. But this is def a great board. I hope I answered your question.

I stopped longboarding. Had them mounted to a tan tien. Of all the boards I've ridden these trucks were the best for cruising around. Sharp, smooth turns. Can really carve hard.

I don't know what the best is.... but I bought two of the Freeride 130cm intermediate boards for my boys (11 and 13) last christmas just to use for fun in the backyard and I am very happy with them .... I didn't want to have much money tied up in an entry level board .... so these were a great buy for our family......

Its a pretty good board that usually remains clean...havent tried leaving things on it for a long time tho. Only problem i has with it was it being damaged in transit but they quickly got me a new one.

Decent board but you're gonna wanna upgrade the trucks and wheels eventually. it's a good board to start in but you'll want a better board later in. For 100 bucks though it's alright. Complete set ups are usually really expensive

We found the perfect board on eBay. It is an ebony and birdseye maple board that perfectly complements this gorgeous chess set. I checked and it looks like seller has one board left. 21" Ebony & Birdseye Maple Chess Board ($107.96) at seller "xstremedeals" (100% Pos Feedback) Hope this helps!

No its not you would need to look up a mountain board. Or a hamboard would work great cause u can buy paddles for it.

I also had the same back in the days. The feeling is exactly the same, versatile on any conditions, lots of feedback basically you dont think about the board just concentrate on fun. The only difference in my case is that i found it a bit slower than before , but it could just me with more kilos onboard, lol. But overall same fun as back in the days, just make sure you get a good set of flippers.

I would go with the MT. I'm not sure of the return policy but it should'nt be a problem.
