## Description

Review: An Experienced Rider's Review - A couple details before we begin: Rider weighs 205 lbs, men's US sz 12 shoe, and is and experienced skateboarder (12 years on/off) and snowboarder (21 years every season) so very comfortable on a board. THIS IS IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE STILL LEARNING AND PLAN TO RIDE THIS IN BUSY/CROWDED AREAS. If this is you, I recommend getting a larger board with a wider wheel base to learn on. You can come back to this when you've developed better balance/skill (just my opinion, don't freak out). This review is in the context of "penny" boards and mini cruisers only: Deck: Excellent quality for price. Has some flex, but not excessive, and feels solid/sturdy. Trucks/Bushings: Absolutely get the job done, metal seems strong/trustworthy quality. I loosened my trucks by about 1 & 1/2 to 2 complete rotations on the nut to get the board carving nicely. Bearings: They are stamped abec-7 on the shields, and spin okay. Not the higher quality you can buy seperate, but I don't think I'll replace them anytime soon. I rode down fresh asphalt at about 10% grade and was cookin', even had to drag my foot to scrub some speed. Wheels: Feel soft when cruising on rougher concrete, but like the bearings, not the higher quality urethane you'll get from a set of wheels that cost more than this entire board. I will not be replacing them, they're great for my application/use. Here is the one defect/area of improvement I found: The issue of wheels not spinning freely or being "stuck" is not due to quality of bearings. Its two things: 1) the nuts might be too tight when you get it, just loosed them up a tiny bit. A TINY bit. 2) the hang pin (axle that the wheel/bearing assemblies slide onto) is about 1/8 of an inch too short on either side. The outer side of the wheel hub (inner portion/hole of wheel) extends past the shank (smooth area of pin/axle) and onto the threaded area of the pin/axle. This causes the wheel to actually have some play in it if the nuts are tightened to the point where they contact the spacers and bearings. Because of this, you won't want to loosen the wheel nuts too much in order to get the wheels to spin with less drag/friction caused by the nuts being too tight... hopefully this makes sense. the concern here is speed wobble at higher speeds. I build boards/bikes/funky wheeled creations and this would be a major concern on a higher speed vehicle, but since its a skateboard, specifically a lil' one, it's not really an issue. Definitely not a deal breaker. Board rides smooth, easy to maneuver and manual over cracks/off curbs. If the company can get trucks with a slightly longer pin/axle shank to prevent this, this board would be perfect. No need to buy additional parts to upgrade. I'm incredibly happy with my $22.19 purchase and will be tearing up the bike lanes of NYC on this bad boy!
Review: It's a good board for what it is. - I have been skating for 50 years... used to build my own decks in Australia. Had never owned a "Penny" type board and wanted to try it out. I am 6'4" with size 15 feet so this was going to be an interesting test. I would not recommend this board for kids or beginners... get something a little longer / wider deck and wider trucks. This is a fun board as a second board for someone who already rides... I swapped out for some 70mm wheels and some Bones Red bearings and it now rolls for EVER. (and as an answer to reviewers who say their board broke... if you bounce on the middle of the board or try to do ollie / kickflip you WILL break it... buy a different board... ride this board with your feet placed over the bolts and it will last forever)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this be able to fit in a middle school locker?**
A: Yes

**Q: I'm a college student just looking for a board to get me around, how smooth is the ride and are there any parts that need replacing?**
A: This board is good-to-go out of the box, in my opinion! The bearings don’t spin forever, but on flat or slight declines this thing still flies. If you’re not an experienced rider, you may want to opt for the larger version of this board for more stability. Either way, this thing is so small it will definitely make you a better boarder! The deck and trucks are strong and the wheels are actually really nice and soft enough to absorb rocks and bumps. With all that said, maybe consider replacing the bearings, but I ride it a few times first and see for yourself. I’ve kept mine stock and it’s perfect for cruising crowded street and sidewalks as a “final mile” mode of transportation.

**Q: Can it fit in ur back pack?**
A: It depends on the size of your backpack. It doesn’t fit in my small Patagonia backpack but it does fit into my larger ll bean backpack

**Q: I am 5’2 and shoe size 6, should I get 22” or 27”?**
A: The point of these boards are because they are compact, I have a 22” penny board that is this size and as a 24 year old with size 9.5 shoes and I have used it to travel to other countries and ride the streets. It’s a smooth ride like a long board but compact so it’s easy for flight travel. If you have decent balance, the size shouldn’t matter, it’s meant for a convenient cruise

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly good for the money!
*by C***T on January 5, 2021*

Terrific skateboard for beginners! High-quality materials. I’m a student at USF, and I bought this as an alternative to Penny Board. I was so glad I picked this one. Smooth ride and holds my weight (170 lbs)! Easy to adjust. Thanks to this board, I don’t ever walk anywhere on campus. Extremely light! I can carry it with one hand without getting tired. This product in no way feels like a compromise. This is higher quality than alternatives found at Academy, Walmart, or target.
