Cal 7 22 Complete Mini Cruiser Plastic Skateboard

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my 6 year old nephew. He loves it! Read more

I got this skateboard in the color Transparent Posiden two years ago to use to get around my college campus. It has worked very well for me. It's small enough that it fits perfectly under or alongside a standard desk, which means that it's out of the way during class. It's also fairly light, making it easy to carry. It works great for getting around my campus as well as into the nearby downtown. The board looks really nice. I really like the design on it, though it's a little harder to see how due to the dirt from two years of almost daily use. I've gotten compliments from people around campus that they like my board. Read some reviews when buying that the patterns are on the top of the board in the grip part and not in plastic and it peeling off. It is top the board and not part of the deck itself but I haven't had any issues with it peeling. One thing I will say is that it is a small board. This works well for me as I am female and don't have very large feet. Some of my friends who are a bit larger than I am have had some trouble fitting their feet on the board. This board works well for smaller people who don't have very large feet. One thing I have noticed is that the screws on the board are a bit rusted, likely due to using the board in the rain and going through puddles. Still works well. Too long, didn't read: Good skateboard for small people. Pretty. Edit: I thought this would be an important edit. My board broke today. Snapped in half while riding. I think this is mostly due to me having ridden it practically daily for about 2 and a half years through all sorts of conditions and it just started to wear down. It served me very well. Read more

Pros - Wheels are big and soft, great for large variety of ground - light - underside of deck has a groove for your fingers to hold while carrying - very quiet compared to my skateboard (I don't like to be annoyingly loud on campus) this is very important because I constantly ride over cracks - standard skate tool works to take off bolts, adjust trucks, and take off wheels - you can put on grip tape no problem despite the textured surface - cool colors schemes to choose from, make it your own Cons - I can't practice tricks for study breaks - I look a bit silly, it's tiny - standard bearings aren't very good - trucks are bolted over plastic packaging lol whyy, it was so annoying having to unscrew everything to get that out when I first got this. - turn radius is a bit wider than my skateboard, you have to be a little extra careful turning because it's so small and you have to be consious of your feet's friction to deck. (GET GRIP TAPE IT'S SO WORTH IT) - washers on wheels come super super tight, you should loosen these up a little for much better performance - gets weirdly dirty around bearings and trucks, just looks kinda gross (as seen in picture) my skateboard doesn't do this to this extent. I think I paid $40 for this, really great value. I highly recommend making 2 upgrades: 1. Griptape: so much more comfortable riding compared to the rubber plastic textured deck. If you plan to actually use this please get a $6 sheet of grip to go with it. It makes you so much more resistant to go flying from pebbles, unlevel cracks, rough sidewalks. 2. Bearings: I replaced the bearings for $17 reds. Makes for more enjoyable ride, keeps you rolling with less pushes. Read more

Pros: 1. Cute - I love the colors! 2. Functional - I just had to loosen the trucks and then I could get around great on it! 3. Cheap - It's just really worth the money...glad I didn't shell out like $80+ for a Penny that's just a little cuter. Cons: 1. Cheap - WITHOUT A QUESTION, WORTH THE PRICE. But the price is cheap, and so are the parts. The wheels and trucks and deck and bearings are fine for getting around! BUT! If you're looking to eventually replace the wheels or the bearings or anything, I wouldn't rely on being able to do that. I can't even remove three of the wheels at this point (I could at first, but I think the threads in the wheel nuts completely wore down at somewhere along the line). Overall & Rating: This is definitely worth the price. It works very well and serves its purpose (I use it to commute around campus and sometimes for fun cruising alone or with friends on longboards or skateboards (which weren't as cheap, so yeah it can keep up with more expensive relatives!!!)). Judging from a friend's plastic cruiser from Walmart I think this one has a better feel and less awkward shape and costs probably about the same. All in all, I've had mine for half almost a year now and it's given me enough bang for the buck and would encourage you to get this if you want something sort of like a Penny (in terms of appearance, functionality, and size) but haven't convinced yourself to pay for the price of one. 4 out of 5 stars because it's awesome and definitely worth the money but not the highest quality.

This Cal 7 was recommended by a friend who has the exact same board with a different color scheme. It's a great little board! Our driveway is paved, but there are plenty of trees dropping debris in the path. Rolling over pine straw, leaves, and flower pods was not a problem for this board. Even the smallest rocks did bring it to a stop... but they're rocks. That's just a law of physics. Great wheels. Sturdy construction. Fun for our 12 year old, but also surprised that it was fun for Dad. Really surprised at how well it turns. Definitely a great buy, especially for this price. Read more

I absolutely love my Cal 7 22" Complete Mini Cruiser! It’s the perfect size for getting around, and the compact design makes it super easy to carry. The plastic deck feels really sturdy, and the grip is solid, so I always feel secure when riding. The wheels are smooth, allowing for a comfortable and fast ride, even on rougher surfaces. The color is so cute and it matches with my sneakers too!!! Read more
