Yes the flex in this board is great and it carves very well. But im not sure how the sliding is because I dont know how to slide.... yet

My son bought this and says: It bends good, he hasn't tried to slide yet but thinks it could slide if he felt he could do it and yes it carves good. He bought different wheels but is happy with the wheels it came with and the bearings are really nice.

My son says you cannot slide with these wheels, carves ok if you loosen the trucks a little.

I have been able to get it to slide a little, but the wheels and trucks are not meant for sliding and when you enter a slide it is very difficult to keep it going. I know that you want a board to slide with but you don't want to spend a lot of money, This board is mainly for Speed and Downhill and is on the cheap side. I recommend checking out originalskateboards dot com or loadedboards dot com for sliding boards. There are some top of the line boards on those sites for under 200. Pintail Longboards Complete on Orginalskateboards go for $139 - $149 they also have a Manhatten 27 for $130 Which is also complete with trucks, Wheels etc. I skate Original all the way, but Loaded is good too.

Yes,This has a slight bending ability. But not enough to bend on a curve. Bending might break the seal inside. Contact the manufacturer for these type of questions.

Yes, the wheels roll straight and I can steer left and right one handed with only a little difficulty (which is from weights of kids, not the wheels) and after 8+ months of daily use on all sorts of terrain I'd say the wheels are very substantial. Not the greatest for trails and hiking, but I live in pot-hole city and we make it work.

I dont think it would bend, it's pretty sturdy. And yes it rotates really well, we move it daily aiming between the couch and the desk, never had any "snags". I think it would work well for cakes.

Does not have wheels. However it is quite light for its size and durability. It can be picked up or it can slide easily.

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.

Yes you can bend the handle with no problem at all. The wood handle also stays cool.

It will bend. I have used these for several years and started because of the cost. It was low cost and served its purpose. Life span seems to be 2-3 years so you will probably have to replace. Thus cost has to be considered.

It's quite rigid and I would not count on bending it at all. The stiffness means you can push it into not-stony soil pretty easily by hand or with light taps on top with a hammer.

No, it does not bend easily. It is just right for us. We are older and cannot tolerate big bulky thinks and this flatware is just what we wanted.

The track is straight and fairly rigid. I don't think it would make good curves, but it might cut okay with the right tool. I have only used it as a straight run with varying the heights and making a loop at the end

It's pretty good at turning but the bushings are really soft so if you want to it to be tighter for speed runs, go out and get some harder ones. That said, the board is great, rides like a dream and is great for cruising around and having a good ride. Also, the wheels are pretty good for slides if your into that.

The wheels are pretty good. I have it on carpet in our bedroom and it moves very easily. I've been very happy with it. But If I'm going to be moving around the house, I use our rock n play as it's very light.

It depends on kind of skating the skater wants to do. The wheels are fairly hard, so longer gliding rides aren't as possible as with the cruiser style wheels. If you want to do tricks, then the wheels should fine. I bought this as a first skateboard for my daughter to learn on. I then got a cruiser for my son. The difference in the ride-ability was noticeable.

Yes you can bend it. It is quite pliable. Just be careful and do it slowly.

It's pretty stiff so no bending which I like. The wheels are too soft to slide. More of a cruiser.
