Very easy to ride skateboard. I got used to it in 15 minutes. I have a long board, midsize cruizer, and pennyboard, bit this has become my favorite. Rides smooth and fast. The trucks are same size as my 42 inch long board, yet this board fits in my backpack. Amazing! Came with a carry drawstring backpack bag, and a tightening screw T tool. I didn't like the color of the board so spent 30 minutes to paint it all black. The wheels are big and soft. Loving it!
