I have had this board for a while now and it is by far my favourite among my quiver of 10+ boards of different types. No matter what type of board I try out I always seem to come back to my trusted Dino. I got the board with paris trucks, which are still on. I also installed skid plates. The board is still in good shape even after hundreds of beginner lessons. I have the standard flex and configured the trucks with the widest setting (I'm 80+ kg and 6ft+ tall).
This is a crazy fun dance board with lots of pop and so light
Love the board! Having loads of fun with it :)
This is my first board ever and I'm like...old. I opted to customise with Paris V3 trucks (purple), Orangatang bushings (purple) - which to be fair I haven't installed yet - kept the standards for now, zenit flow wheels (teal), white skid plates and transparent dancer grip tape. Got freestyle grip tape by accident I guess, but I'm not mad. I actually think that's okay for now, I'll just carefully scrape off the inner bits once I stop feeling like I'll scrape my face off while riding! :D
The Dino board itself looks quite pinky-purple on screen but in person is this amazing rich, deep purple you could drown in. Lovely. I can't even tell you. The lavender of the trucks and the sweet mint of the wheels really set it off.
If this is going to be your first board - get the tool. The set up came as separate parts, except the skid plates. I have separate tools and could have assembled it with those, but it's so convenient to just have this one compact tool that will do everything. Also - Zenit have a really, really awesome video that shows how to put the parts together. Having never had a skateboard before, it was incredibly easy to put it all together just following along with the video (okay...with lots of pauses and swearing, still though...).
Shippping? Shipping was brilliant! 9 days for a custom board set up to Australia. I really didn't believe the app when it said it was due for delivery today. So good. Packaging is slim-line, but very well done an protected.
The packaging isn't crazy, but it definitely protects the board and cuts down on shipping costs. Enjoy the board!
Bought two and I like them a lot, the quality is top-notch, and the ride is smooth. will buy them again.
