This board is great at coasting long distances around curves, hills and straight areas. Not for doing any ramp jumping or things made for short skateboards.

I'm not much of a hill bomber, but I have let my friends do it and they love it. I'd change the wheels and bearings before you do it, the stock wheels and bearings are pretty bad

I would have to say no. Parts fell off. The thing is slow and don't think of going uphill

I ve done it with shortboards and it was fineI don t know about longboards though.I try to avoid using the freeway, but reasonably, I think I should be fine

No its not you would need to look up a mountain board. Or a hamboard would work great cause u can buy paddles for it.

I could slide, but wheels are terrible! Had to do way too much pushing... Not enough coasting, you're better off spending about 130 on a good board, I've been boarding for 5 years so sliding a no problem. And also the deck is way too flexible...

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like.First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

Yes, if he can hold his balance on a board. Get him a helmet. Loosen the truck screw if he likes it looser to make sharper turns. I don't recommend upgrading bearings for faster speed. It's fast enough already and if you're going downhill, it takes skill to stop it safely.

Depending on your weight, yes. This isn't really an issue if you want a flexy board, there's no way to prevent it except for buying a stiffer board.

Well depending on the parts of the board. And the turning is kinda difficult except if you keep practicing on the board.

Shouldn't be a problem but make sure the frame is strapped securely so the wheels don't shift under the board. The wheels tend to rotate when going over an irregular surface like a curb.

This is probably not the board for you then. Going slightly uphill, two pushes won't get you very far. It's something that can be adjusted if you change the wheels maybe

Sorry, I have never tried it. I have only used it with one board, but I would think Thule website could answer.

I'm not positive but I don't think so. The board as you call it have come way down in price and I would recommend researching it.

It should be not too bad to get over. Just put it in the high setting and tilt it back. If all fails you could just make a ramp with some boards.

depends how hard of a rider you are. it is a sturdy board but you may need to change out the wheels along its road of use.

I'm 200 lbs and it's fine for me. I understand this board is a very good value for money. I got it as a starter board and I love it. If it was any smoother I think it would be difficult to learn on, any less smooth and it wouldn't be any fun to ride. I can only speak from my own limited experience but I can say I'm very happy with my purchase.

Honestly with the length and weight of this board it would be almost impossible to slide at all. With any wheels.
