27 Inch Big Brother Retro Cruiser Skateboard - UK Manufactured

my brother and i both ordered cruisers last week, he choose the 22" cruiser and i picked the 27" (which is more like a longboard/nickel board). we both came to the same conclusion after a couple of days of use that for looks definitely go for the smaller 22" but if you want practicality, speed, agility, balance.... and the list goes on.Basically if you're new and wanting to learn or a skater who just wants to cruise about then i can't express more that you want to go for the 27" skateboard.Just to add you will need to adjust the trucks, we thought they were fine but when i started picking up speed my board was uncontrollable so before you ride it make sure they are loose enough to turn but tight enough to avoid a sticky situation.

I bought this skateboard as a replacement, for the skateboard I bought her in March 2017, she has had it for 6 months with hardly any use. The last time she took it out the metal shaft that attaches the wheels to the board broke. You would think being metal and it would be of a higher quality than this. I do not know if this is just one faulty item out of so many. There is not way of contacting this seller to ask for a replacement or to return this to them. Disappointed in this item

This board is fantastic and price is unbeatable for this quality. Love it, especially for those who enjoy the fun ride of a skateboard but not the tricking (prefer my bones intact!) AKA the Penny/Nickel market. Lovely smooth ride with soft wheels, sturdy yet flexible design and very attractive in black and lime. All sourced in the UK so feels good to be supporting British business and the economy. Overall it is a very competitive alternative to the overpriced in comaprison official Penny's.

Skateboard was in good condition, I purchased this for my cousin as I wanted to teach him how to skate during his school break. However, upon arrival the wheels were not spinning, so I had to replace all the bearings. I would have returned it, but I had already promised him a cruiser board. If I didn't know how to already change bearings and had spares, he would have been very upset.Disappointed by an otherwise good product at a nice price.

This skateboard is just superb. It is clearly extremely well built and very very sturdy. The weight is really heavy, and the product materials seem to be of an exceptional quality. The wheels are really large, wide, and extremely strong, and have excellent manoeuvrability ~ they are made from a very high-grade (very) dense rubber-type material, rather than hard plastic (which the wooden style boards have); these wheels are of a superb quality in comparison. The wheel mounts are big, and so sturdy. They are attached to the board with huge metal bolts, and seem to have a very high quality mechanism, which supports the manoeuvrability of the system. The actual board itself, is made of a very high-grade dense rubber material, which looks as though it will withstand a great deal of long term use.Kids no longer want the huge wooden type skateboards, instead preferring the ‘original style’ which are smaller, slimmer, and have the raised ‘kick lip’ at the rear, which enables the rider to bring the board to a halt, and to perform those tricky moves! This skateboard certainly looks as though it should have cost much more than it did~it almost screams “QUALITY”.This was purchased for a 13 stone, 6’2” 14 year old lad, and is definitely strong and sturdy enough to take his weight, and cope with his skateboarding ‘tricks’.It looks fantastic, and it’s overall quality far outweighs my initial expectations when I purchased it!I’d definitely say, don’t hesitate to buy this skateboard if you are looking for brilliant quality at a reasonable price.Delivery was super speedy, and it was really well packaged.Having said all of that, it is clear from my terms and language, that I am no expert (far far from it in fact), so you must check-out all of the Product Details/Dimensions/Materials etc. yourselves, as I’m merely going on what I can see and feel! But it looks damn good to me. Oh, and one other thing, I haven’t actually tested it (well, my son hasn’t) as it is a gift for Christmas, so of course I can’t comment on the longevity of the performance, parts or product materials. However, if I am able to pop down an addendum in a couple of months time, I will fill you in on how this fabulous-looking skateboard fares after being ‘hammered’ by my lad, okay!

This review is coming a couple of years after purchase so it is based on use. We first bought a 22" for my 12 year old and it was such a hit that we bought a 27" for him to grow into (or maybe for me). Both boards are still going strong and have not shown any signs of ageing. The deck is sturdy and easily carries the weight of an adult. It feels stable and the the adjustable trucks give you the ability to change the degree of turning nimbleness as you move from beginner to confident rider. The area we ride in has plenty of tree debris, pebbles and cracks and the wide wheels have been essential in keeping us rolling smoothly. The bearings have also held up with the wheels turning as well as when we bought the boards (to be fair we do not ride when its wet which has limited the risk of grit). All in we have had many hours of fun cruising with complete confidence in the quality and performance of the board.

Nice board but bearings are really really bad...However, if this is you:mid 20's to early 30'sDecided that skating to work might be a feasible optionHaven't skated since you were a childConsidering an expensive Penny or cruiser and not sure if you should get this one first to see if you've still got it?Get this board, it's cheap and you'll quickly learn if you will ever actually use it and can always upgrade.

Love this skateboard! Perfect size and great value for a beginner or someone who just likes to use it to cruise around every now and again. Good quality and the build is stable.Have experienced very squeaky trucks however may be due to accidentally leaving the board out in the rain a couple of times and running it through shallow puddles!Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a suitable, cheaper alternative to the more expensive non-amateur boards you find elsewhere.
