Yocaher Aluminum Gold or Black Skateboards Longboard Drop Through Deck ONLY or Complete Long Board, for Boys, Girls, Kids, Teens and Adults and for Beginners to Professionals

As a 320 pound person who is trying to lose weight I wanted to get back into skating/long boarding. Issue is longboards can’t support my weight currently and I didn’t want to wait to ride one. I invested in this deck even though it’s weight limit is rated dramatically less. After 5 rides this board has been amazing. It’s light, durable, and doesn’t flinch with my weight. The deck is considerably cheap compared to premium decks but handles really well. If you’re looking for flex, this deck doesn’t offer much.

To start this off this is the cheapest metal board i found and my expectations wasn't high but it blew my mind. The closest next best board i found was for 200 dollars, I weigh 240lbs and this board does not flex at all, it doesn't care what you throw at it. I rode it when it was 8 degrees fahrenheit form room temp. a normal wood board would have cracked under that abuse. I bought this just as a bad weather board that i would take out when its wet or too cold for a normal board but it has become my daily.

Just got the board and was lighter than I expected and there is absolutely no flex that I can notice but I’m only 160 but overall a very nice board. Good price great product.

Plain Jane under the decals? No: Elegant, functional design.I have firsthand experience with some 20 boards in all shapes/sizes including three different aluminum boards. While this is no longer my favorite board, it is the best aluminum board I know of for dangerous work: downhill, freestyle, and anything involving ankle-rail contact. A review follows, but first, a word to the wise...CAVEAT EMPTOR: while Yocaher pairs great-to-amazing decks with good wheels, I cannot recommend this A+ board in good conscience unless you IMMEDIATELY replace factory bushings on arrival. I've dealt with three sets of Yocaher black factory bushings and all were extremely hard, encouraging UNSAFE riding: you either loosen the trucks so much for a "normal" feel that you are unstable on the gentlest slope or you have no control at all. I've played with ~80-95a stock, Khiro, Venom, and Blood Orange bushings. The "90a" bushings feel more like 100a+ in my book. Yocaher's customer service is A+, but their bushings suck as of 2018. It hurts to see a great brand shoot itself in the foot.Well... that hurt. Literally. Thank God for helmet(s). Now, where were we...I live in Minnesota, where all the people are nice, the coastal elites "fly over", and the weather don' look too good for longboarding: the roads are awful, the sidewalks worse, and the water won't go away (frozen, falling, or fumes). We stay sane by channeling our desperation and getting outside, rain or shine. Wanna be happy? Get out there with good gear and get on with it.I bought my first aluminum complete from Yocaher and it hasn't let me down. I'll never forget how beautiful it was when I first cut through it's thick plastic cocoon finding a gorgeous golden beetle beneath. The finish is great and tough, standing up very well after a year of hard use and some stupid scrape-ups. I always get compliments on the board whether stopping by indie skateshops or cruising past sidewalk cafes. I kid you not: random people from kids to cops to suits downtown feel compelled to comment when I come up to intersections... it's almost a safety hazard.Unfortunately, there were some real bugs to work out. First, it's a Yocaher, and the factory hangar-protectors were immediately replaced with a pair of Blood Orange wedges on a longer kingpin. Second, the trucks aren't the best quality with hangars that cut up the pivot cup and grind into the truck plate, but they work fine with a little grease if you're in a bind. Third, the wheel bearings are steel-shield uncleanable cheapies, lasting two weeks before the MN road grime halved my max speed. Finally, someone had a really bad day on the assembly line: 2/8 speed rings were missing, bushing cups were installed upside down, and the shock pads were put in wrong, but Yocaher got me parts and spares STAT with no complaints.HOWEVER, Once I got this hammered out I had a true five-star board. Its construction is like an aluminum high-school bleacher with smooth rounded lip and moderate concave, the only Aluminum deck I've handled that treats hand and ankle like a maple longboard. The nose/tail guards are well designed, although you may have to zip-tie the rear to the deck if you have the nasty habit of kicking it after every push (wide stance, big feet...). The aluminum is extremely rigid, much stiffer than the Beercan Boards I've used, but the road vibration pays off in an extrememly responsive, nimble platform. It's like riding in a sports car... slow commutes churn the stomach, but lay on the speed and life is good.That said, my "beetle" wound up being an ideal multipurpose board with the right sets of wheels. For commuting & cruising, 83mm flywheels just barely clear the wheelwell, speeding things up while eating most the cracks and gravel. For downhill & freeride, choose your poison; mine is a set of 70mm Abec11 flashbacks in amber, perfectly matched to the board and great for sliding the night away. After a year of hard use the grip tape is wearing out but everything else is in ship shape: no bending in the board, no broken parts, no regrets.CONCLUSION: This is an ideal board for those who like a "sports suspension", a sports car of boards. If you want a hot rod, buy this and budget for mission-driven components. If you just want a four-season cruiser, look into a Beercan Boards Ginger Ale or Hard Cider

This Yocaher Aluminum Long board is well made and light.The Gold color looks the best.Con:The bearings need new set they don't turn freely so I ordered new bearings from another manufacturer when I got the board.I've road skateboards for years and built my own when I first road on a skateboard so this board is not the first one I rodeThis one rides very good except of the bad bearings.I also read the negative reviews on this item but don't agree with some posters here.

Good Longboard

BEST BOARD ON THE MARKET! I bought this Yocaher Black Aluminum 36" Board around 2 months ago and it is by the far the best high quality most affordable Board I have ever owned! The Board is solid Aluminum but at the same time absorbs shock great! I prefer this board over the maple wood board that I bought that broke fairly quickly! I am still shocked that this board is only $60 but for such a high quality well built board. I would have easily paid over a hundred bucks for it! I have Caliber II Trucks on it with rust free bearings and 97mm wheels. Next step is the complete conversion to an electric Board! Best Board you could buy on the Market by far and truly at the best price!

I love this deck so much ive used it for everything cross town down hill garages ive smashed and bashed this board so much and it just takes it and never skips a beat I love it and I will deffitly be buying another one, amazing for the price
