Quest Skateboards Zero Dark 40 Downhill Style Slot Through Longboard, Skateboard , Black

I have been longboarding for years now and mainly do downhill/ long distance riding, I’ve been through many boards and builds and never found a board that offered the stability and room that this board does. Most boards that are not built for downhill riding have a lot of “give” so I usually go for maple boards over bamboo just for the versatility, the problem with this is maple boards are usually not the best for cruising, that’s why I love this design.The quest downhill board I bought about a year and a half ago to use as a downhill only build, I installed some high performance bearings (half the price of the board 😅) and the first hill I hit fell in love. I Continued using it as a downhill build but recently went through a surgery so during my recovery I elected to start cruising again and think I like this board even more now, it’s more portable than the average board and the shape makes it easy to handle/ maneuver ( less experienced riders may struggle with corners due to the bushings )I can’t attest for the “pre-built” board with factory bearings/ wheels/ trucks but any beginner could pick up this board and a pair of 15-30 dollar bearings and have the best build for your money, definitely the best board to build for under 100$ I have ever seen.(Adept riders) I have the board (70$) on a pair of, caliber II trucks (70$) shiver abec 9 bearings (30 $) and orangatan “purple” wheels (85$) and it will outperform any prebuilt board/ most non-professional builds for less than 1000$The board also handles high speeds better than any boards I have tried ( only adding bearings )Although there are a couple downsides due to quality control, which are unfortunate because this board could easily be a high end product if they were addressed properly, the Board I received I could tell had been sitting for quite some time. The deck itself was/is warped and makes one of the wheels come off the ground ( does not effect the ride drastically ) also the deck had dried out and become brittle with noticeable fractures and is easily chipped. This would usually be a deal breaker For me but this board specifically has not given me any issues aside from a few chips over the last year, which I believe is a testament of its durability.If the manufacture improved the quality control slightly I would feel comfortable suggesting this board to professional riders/ enthusiasts, but at this price point you won’t find a better board for beginners/ intermediate riders (who arnt building 300$+ boards) for 100$ you can have a complete high quality build by installing decent bearings. And if you are an advanced rider this is the perfect board to build if you get a good one from the supplier, and at this price point it’s worth taking the chance (in my opinion).

I have had this deck for over a year now, and i am mind blow by its performance.I have replaced the bushings, wheels and bearings. The only NECCESARY upgrade would be the bushings. Those are pretty bad. The bearings and wheels aren't Bone Reds or Orangatangs, but for stock bearings and wheels they perform great. The deck is at least seven maybe eight plies of maple, which means that it is heavy but its sturdy. I have had no issues with chips or cracks. The exact measurments are 39.5in.x 9.5.Now obviously, I didn't rate it five stars, so here are the negatives...-The trucks don't turn very sharp, but it is a drop through, so that's expected.-The bushings are probably part of the trucks inability to turn. So, I would recommend getting some softer bushings of better quality.-Also, being solid maple, this deck does not have a lot of versitality aside from cruising and downhill bombing. (I would highly recommend this deck for a hill bomber, any level of exerience.) It is very much a beginner deck. If you are more experienced you may want to look elswhere. (i.e. skateshred.com (great website) or loaded.com)I have learned to longboard on this deck, and I have throughly enjoyed it. I will continue to ride it until it breaks beyond usability. If you are a beginner or you have a need for speed, I would highly recommend this deck.

The media could not be loaded.  All in all it’s an ok starter board, I’m 125 pounds and it handles me just fine, the parts if your looking into moderate I’d throw all the parts away and start the deck from scratch. the standard bones bearings barely lasted with the original wheels but I got new ones for my Santa so I put it’s old ones on it and it’s a dream. Best thing about it is no one would know it’s a quest😂 beautiful board for the money.

I’m a pro longboarder, and I love this board. I replaced the bearings, and it runs like a precision board now. I like it so much, after the 1st one got too used to perform, I bought a 2nd one. The only bad thing about my new one is the grip tape placement is slightly off center, which tends to happen with these mass produced boards, but shouldn’t affect performance in the slightest. A person that doesn’t have OCD would probably never notice. 10/10 regardless, and when my 2nd one brakes, I’ll probably buy a 3rd

The board came in a box already set up. After small amount of tweaking of the trucks and it was ready to go! the bearings are metal and seem to roll as well as bones bearings, eventually one should look into ceramic bearings. the board has a bit of flex in the center for me personally, I am 210 lbs and approximately 6'0". IF YOU ARE BIGGER THEN 240 lbs one should look into a different board; it will have to much flex to feel comfortable in my opinion.{I have rode this board and bearings for approximately 7 months and have been beating on it. it is still kicking and rides well}

I have been riding the crap out of this thing since May and it has held up pretty well, the board itself and the trucks and bushings are still riding strong. HOWEVER, I'm a bit taller and heavier (I'm 220 lbs -just about at the limit of this board) both kingpins broke after a few months, and 2 of the screws that hold the trucks to the board (i replaced them all). If you ride hard and/or are on the heavier end of this board's limit, you should get some stronger kingpins, they are the zinc coated steel 2.59" kingpin & nut set, and the screws - they are the button allen (or phillips), 1.25" stainless steel type, both available here on amazon or your local hardware store.

I own many drop through longboards from Sector 9, Landyachtz. Some bought that were complete, some hand built that were upwards of $300. The negative reviews are people who don't understand that coming from the factory, the board will be awful until you tighten down all the nuts and bolts so nothing rattles and stays in place. And do note that all bearings suck on all boards that come from the factory, do yourself a favour and buy a $20 set of Bones Reds bearings and get them on the board, and as long as you know what you like in terms of turning radius, just adjust the trucks as needed by loosening/tightening the bolt until you truly find what you like, and you'll have a truly great longboard for half the price of my more expensive models. Cheers, and good luck with your setup.

This longboard is great! It's not that loud and i find it's very smooth to ride. The trucks are loose but it makes turning really easy. It's not too heavy and it's very durable. I know some reviews are saying you'll need to replace the trucks and wheels but I think that if you're just using it to get around and for fun then it's 100% worth it. It came in a ridiculously large box but other than that, would recommend!!!!

Had it for a few months now and it’s a good board given the value. I replaced the bearings for a longer free spin but that was just personal preference. Overall, a good purchase for cruising around town.

Received this skate with a litle bit of damage, but its ight.. Was expecting it.. Anyway its a great beginer skate, but you MUST wax the berring and tight properly the weels.. So if you have 0 tools it might be better to buy one in store..

No me gustó que la madera se siente flexible a comparación de otras patinetas.lo que sí me gustó su forma de deslizamiento y excelente control pues hasta las piedras pequeñas las brinca sin problemas
