Never did I regret buying this longboard. I'm a beginner and wanted to practice my balance and getting used to the feel of riding it. The longboard was smooth and easy to ride as it has wide platform. Although, the screws holding the board needs to be tighten a bit as it came loose. Trucks needs a bit of adjustment to suit the ride. Overall, I love and enjoy the longboard and will continue to hone my skills. They also ship the product fast to Sydney however, my board just got stuck due to courier issues.
