Peoples Republic P-REP Tuned Complete Wooden Fingerboard 34mm x 100mm - Bandito

Let me preface this review by saying I am not that good at fingerboarding. That being said, I can definitely tell the difference in quality amongst different brands and construction. I've gotten other completes before that were around $40, and this P-Rep one, although I'm aware is far from the absolute best, is much nicer. The bearings spin for days, the bushings arnt completely tearing apart, and the 34mm top width is the shit. I'd recommend this bad boy to anyone starting out that doesn't want to drop upwards of 120 bucks on a toy (even though I'm now considering doing just that). Worth the money. Not disappointed.

The 34mm deck had me skeptical at first and I wasn't sure if it would be too wide but wow I love this size and the mellow shape of the deck. The kicks were medium low with low concave. The griptape wasn't too great out of the box but through breaking it in it started to feel perfect. However, I did find that the griptape tore apart rather quickly (2 weeks), so that was a lil disappointing.The biggest problems I found with this product were the trucks and wheels.P-Rep gets away with saying these are 32mm trucks by providing spacers for trucks that are most likely 29-30mm. I wasn't too disappointed given the super affordable price point. What frustrated me a bit was that one of my trucks did not have proper threading so it would begin to fall off at times.In contrast to the griptape, the wheels were amazing out of the box and really do have a great shape. The issue was that the bearings in these wheels went bad in a matter of days without any exposure to water. The bearings also began to move within the wheel so I find myself pushing them back into place. It should be noted, that I did not tamper with the bearings until they started dysfunctioning. The wheels are usable and much better than tech deck wheels but not even close to flat face, yellow wood, etc. (companies that utilize better bearings and actual urethane wheels.I have now switched out the trucks for a better 32mm pair but continue to use every other part of this complete.

Great deck. The deck is Is made out of solid veneers. The craftsmanship of the deck is great. The deck kick concave profile is medium/high kicks, deep concave, and deep wheel dips (whats above the wheel). The graphic was a quality graphic. The truck are great. I love the shape of the wheels (they're the CNC type). The bearings roll great. My only compliant is the screws are too short. Its hard for the baseplate to be flush if you don't tighten them hard enough, but you can always get longer screws from other Fingerboard companies. Great board for some one getting a Mid-priced Fingerboard.

It was a great board out of the box but I gave it a day the bearings barley work anymore the bushings ripped and the trucks don’t return back to the middle and also the bolt that keeps the bushings in place come off very easily have lost one bolt replaced it with a tech decks but you have to use a tech deck tool for that one of the screw holes for the trucks did not work the only reason I would give this product any stars is because the grip tape is great after you play with it for a few hours at one point it feels like it’s loose though and the actual deck shape is good

The deck has shallow concave and low kicks. Not preferable for me, but everyone's taste is different. The board performs well and has great pop. The thing I hated was the hardware on this. The nuts get very loose over time. You are constantly having to re-tighten. Plus the axles are not a solid bar all the way through. They are built like Teck Deck trucks, so what happened to me was the axle got loose and completely fell out of the socket! I was able to fix it with some super glue, but the other axles started doing the same, which was really annoying. P-Rep makes great boards, but if you buy their boards, make sure you get the boards with upgraded higher quality hardware that run around 20+ dollars.

I bought this for my son who loves these boards..he has so many techdeck ones but wanted this brand. Overall, slightly disappointed with the quality of it. Love the graphic but it functioned the same if not a little worse than a Techdeck board. No extra anything was included...they are small and easy to lose which happened on day 2. Luckily, we had extra from Techdecks.

Mine was missing a spacer for the wheel and the other wheels kept separating from the bearings.The screws are too short, the trucks barely move, and the deck is wider than the trucks. For five dollars more you can by the Noahwood pro completes on amazon which are much better quality. I've had more reliable tech decks to be honest. Do not buy.

Received mine for my son today and was very pleased with the quality of everything. Just extremely bummed out that spacer for the wheel is missing. Had to trim and stuff the back of a rubber earring in there to get it is able but wheel is locked up. Can you guys please send me the spacer.

It was a little challenging to put together as the holes were not threaded for the tiny screws. the deck foam was a highlight for my son but he ended up ordering a different one because he was looking for more definition to the deck, it was more curved than the one he had and he says it makes it more difficult to perform the tricks he wants. All in all he liked it but would have preferred a higher end one.

My grandson loves it!! Apparently, it’s a big deal at his school. Arrived quickly.

Was a gift for my grandson. He loved it!

For anyone who enjoys finger baords this productr is a great option. Excellent quality.

good deck to start off with, better then a tech deck but hard to get used to.
