Retrospec Quip Skateboard 22 5 and 27 Classic Retro Plastic Cruiser Complete Skateboard with ABEC 7 Bearings and

My first-time purchasing was when I moved to LA and needed a cheap ride for downtown Door Dash delivering. I was amazed by the quality I received and raved about it to everyone I met and even sold my old penny board! 6 months later the board had developed so much flex that it snapped in half when I stepped on. I was expecting to just ask them first if this issue was something that has been addressed. To my surprise I was given an entire new board free of charge! This is something that shows integrity; not only sell an affordable product but stand behind its durability. I thought I got what I paid for when it broke but after talking to the team I realized that I got more than a skateboard, it’s a guarantee. Thank you guys! Special thanks to zak! Read more

Product worked great for two years and then one day I’m just riding down the road and it cracked in half. I gave five stars and hopes that the company might send me a replacement. Read more

I bought this board to get around from place the place on my college campus. Overall, I'd recommend something else, but I'll get to that later. The trucks can be loose enough to rub on the board, so be careful of that. The stock bearings are pretty crap, a cheap set of just about anything else is better. But I used the stock for 5-6 months so it's not something a beginner will notice to much. Just put them on the list of things to buy. The middle flexes a lot, enough that 155lb (+40lb backpack sometimes) me worries about it. Put your weight over the trucks and your fine. Other reviews show cracked boards. Just be smart about it. The turning is pretty tight, it's easy enough to learn on and get the hang of. I recommend tighter trucks for learning, then loosen as you get more skill/more comfort. The wheels won't push anything out of the way, if there's a rock, the board will stop. And you'll keep moving. I know from experience. It's a pretty smooth ride, certainly way more then a normal skateboard and will go faster then a normal skateboard. Won't do any tricks other then just leaning the front wheels up and turning a little, but it takes a lot of practice. A normal skateboard does that way, way better. Leaves tricks to normal boards is what I'm getting at. It acts more like a longboard then anything in my opinion, but you get the downsides of it not being a longboard and having smaller wheels, and the only upside is slightly tighter turning vs a 38" longboard (drop thru style board) It's not much of a difference. Here's why I'd recommend something else, at least for someone like me using it as transport across campus. A longboard is just better. It's that simple. A longboard is smoother, faster, more stable, turns almost as well (depending on board), kicks rocks out of the way instead of you going flying, easier to ride. The list goes on. Unless your super strapped for cash, spend a few more bucks and get a longboard, you'll be glad you did. I now have a 38" drop thru style longboard w/ reds bearings and it's all I use. I don't use this board anymore at all. For the price, I feel I got my use out of it, so I'm not complaining necessarily, but I would have just bought a different board to begin with. But this was my first board I've ever owned, so I didn't know. Read more

I'm in my mid-30s and haven't really ridden a skateboard since college or maybe shortly thereafter, and my board got lost somewhere along the way to legit adulthood. My kids both have knockoff penny boards and are learning how to roll around, so I thought I'd get one and play with them. I was on the fence between this one and one of the longboards by this same company just for the extra stability, but I've never even ridden a longboard and I don't have any serious cruising in my future, so I went with this one at like half the price. It seems fine so far, the only thing was I had to tighten the trucks like crazy right out of the box. Even on the carpet, it was wobbling all over the place and I could barely even just stand on it, I'm a pretty average-sized adult female. I tightened them almost all the way before it felt right to me. Then a few times up and down our concrete patio to get the feel for it, and I think we're good to go. Read more

I ordered this skateboard for my son on 6/29/2021 and received few days after. He has used it in our community just on the sidewalks. in less than 45 days it broke into two cleanly. I have never heard of a skateboard breaking into two. This is clearly a poorly made product. I bought the warranty just in case and I've reached out to the seller. I will update my entry here with an update when it's all taken care of. 8/23 here is what I got back from the vendor: We're sorry to hear your board snapped in half, unfortunately, our skate and longboards are only covered under warranty for 30 days after the day of original purchase. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding. Joselynn Retrospec Customer Service Team Read more
