Skatro Mini Cruiser Skateboard. 22x6inch Retro Style Plastic Board Comes Complete

This product was exactly what I expected it to be and I honestly prefer this over a Penny board because of its flex. Before purchasing this product, I watched many reviews on YouTube and read through several reviews on Amazon to see if it would be worth the $60. I have to say it is worth every penny (no pun intended). I purchased the Black Tiger (Gold and Black board) and it is absolutely beautiful. The board appears exactly as it does in the seller's photo however, the flex does take some getting used to. It is quite hard to balance at first but once you find the right footing, the ride becomes much more comfortable than that of a Penny board. The board comes very stiff out of the box (in terms of the trucks) but can be easily adjusted to become nice and loose for smoother turns using the provided T-tool. The T-tool I received did come with some extra flakes of paint inside the the screw portion of the head and the built in screwdriver does seem to pop out quite easily without intention, but this isn't a big deal when you look back at the quality of the board itself. I bought this board as a means of transportation across my college campus and it does just that. It is small enough that I can pick it up and take it inside a dining hall or a classroom, a great advantage over using a bike or longboard as means of transportation. The Skatro board isn't as stable as a longboard though, as cracks or rocks on the road will be your greatest enemy. For that reason, I recommend this board for those with previous riding experience and those that are aware of their surroundings. Make sure to go over cracks at a moderate speed and avoid rocks as you would with any other skateboard. In other words, do not ride this Skatro board the same way you would a longboard because they don't have the same stability you would get from the length of a longboard. They simply aren't the same thing. However because the Skatro board is so much smaller than a longboard, it makes it much easier to maneuver through sharp turns. The only difficulty is finding your balance because this is quite a small board. I wouldn't recommend this board for any kind of stunts but if you have good balance and are looking for a simple commuter, this is the board for you.(Final Note)I have ridden many skateboards in my time and I have to say that these are quite average bearings. On a flat surface, it takes quite a few kicks to travel a good distance, and for this reason, I would recommend replacing the bearings if you're looking for a faster ride. I have ridden my board for about a mile after adjusting the tightness of my wheels and trucks and the wheels have started to glide smoother, but not quite as fast as I would like. If you want more speed from the board, upgrade your bearings. I will be purchasing Bones Reds bearings in the near future.

My name is Penny (like the coin) so of course I wanted to buy a pennyboard. As a first time skater I did not want to shell out $90+ for a skateboard. THANK GOODNESS FOR AMAZON CUZ I FOUND THIS GEM! My favorite color is orange so of course I got the orange one. Received it in 2 days, took it out of the box and went for spin. Easy to use and ride. I had trouble turning at first, but used the tool to loosen the trucks and I was set to go! It is a great board and I recommend to anybody ESPECIALLY FIRST TIME RIDERS. Happy skating!!

First of all I'm going to apologize for writing a thesis. So it took me a while to order this particular skateboard. I had owned a traditional style skateboard, but I had no interest in doing tricks I just wanted to use it to cruise from point A to point B. But little did I know it could barley do that, it was loud, obnoxious, and ineffective. If I tried to ride I would have to push 2-3 to go 15ish feet. So I stopped riding it until last week. All my friends have longboards and said if you want a board just to cruise, why don't you get a cruiser/penny board. I looked up some videos and found this one. AND IM SO GLAD I DID. The soft wheels make it almost dead silent, compared to my other skateboard that was loud and obnoxious. When you push once with this board it takes you 20ish-30ish feet. Which is basically doubling what my skateboard could do. And to loosen your trucks or wheels to give you better turning radius etc. you would have to buy a thing called a t-tool. These multi tools cost about ten dollars, but this board had a matching color one for free. Which in my opinion is a bargain. I totally recommend getting this cruiser IF you are wanting to ride from your house to a friends house/gas stations etc. DO NOT GET IT IF YOU WANT TO DO TRICKS. It is possible to do tricks but that is not what this board is meant to do. If you want to do kick flips and shuv-it's, get a traditional skateboard. But I totally recommend this board to any one that is interested.Notes- I think it could hold more but just be careful because the "weight limit" is 220 pounds. And because penny boards bend to give it its own suspension it confused me from going flat piece of wood (skateboard) to a bendy piece of plastic. So don't think you will be able to ride it immediately, practice and get a feel for it and then begin.

I bought 3 of these skateboards for my granddaughters, age 9 and 6 year old twins. I did research these as best I could as I wanted them to enjoy learning to cruise on a skateboard and wanted boards that would help them learn and give them confidence. There are cheaper boards but apparently some tend to veer off to one side and others with them not rolling smoothly and the wheels being too tight. I know that these problems can be resolved but I don't know enough about adjusting things and with the Skatro boards, they were perfect straight out of the box. This was just as well as the 3 girls were on them straight away. They can all balance quite well as they have roller boots and heelies and my 9 year old got it straight off. I had watched a you-tube video about how to begin and how to place your feet and by shifting your weight, how to change direction. I am so pleased as the girls are obsessed with their boards and learning new things every day. They are feeling "really cool" and Nana is "the best"!!

I know a few people who have bought one of these boards in various colours and after riding on them I decided to buy one myself. They are guaranteed good quality rides as well as looking very cool. Upgrading the bearings for yourself couldn't hurt but at this price you certainly can't complain. The super nova is a great design with wheels that still look cool even when dirty, however, there is an issue with how it's wrapped meaning it comes with gaps in the wrap and can chip on the top fairly easily. It isn't too big of a deal and customer support were very helpful and offered me a partial or a full refund but for now I would say stick with a block colour board. I have asked them to update me if they resolve this issue but for now I will still recommend the other boards enthusiastically.

I bought this to skate around the streets and park with my son as he learns to ride his bike. The last time i was on a skateboard was 20 years ago and even then it wasn't something i used a lot. Its been easy to pick up and we have been having lots of fun together. No adjustments were required. Straight out of the box and I was off

No issues with the skateboard, exactly as described and looks sturdy enough. I take issue with the delivery which was 'fulfilled by Amazon', the skateboard arrived with the box fully open and was clear that the skateboard had fallen out as it was scratched. I originally posted this on seller feedback but the post was deleted and no acknowledgement from Amazon. Extremely poor service on Amazon's part. Could do better.

First off I love this mini cruiser, this is not a penny board. This is a Skatroboard. The board has a flex to better the overall ride, it definitely helps for distances and going over small bumps here and there. The trucks feel exactly like the way it is described a solid kind of aluminum, the bushings are perfect for the board itself. The one thing I want to mention about the trucks is, they're tight same with the wheels, loosen them to your liking. The wheels are amazing and will do exactly what this board is meant to do. If you are like me you definitively researched for reviews and opinions on this mini cruiser, take my word for it this board is definitively my go to for a mini portable cruiser for short or even long distances. Also a nice little note, getting an email from GEG Distributors saying they appreciate me for my purchase was a nice touch. Sure its probably a cookie cutter email, but most companies would not do such a thing as emailing they're customers with tips and a word of thanks. Nice touch. Overall the board is great for beginners but even better for seasoned skaters. I am 200 pounds and this board rides like a miniature version of my long board, 10/10 would definitely buy again (please do supply more colored board selections on amazon though)
