I usually wait a while to do reviews on products, but this skateboard is so nice that I’m not even waiting. I haven’t ridden a skateboard in about twenty years, and I wasn’t very good at it back then either. Lol. I’ve never had a board this nice before. I’m a heavy guy. About 250lbs and it’s working fine for me so far. It carves nicely and rolls extremely smoothly. While doing my research before buying this board, I was very worried about wheel bite, being a heavy guy and wanting a wide board and all. I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt, wheel bite isn’t something you shouldn’t be too terribly worried about. I’ve had this board leaned right over and the deck has only made contact with the wheels once. I honestly don’t have a single negative thing to say about this complete skateboard. I love the shape, the styling, the maneuverability. This board even goes over bumps and harsh terrain pretty well. I’ve sent it into the grass plenty of times already. Lol. I was pretty surprised to see how spendy skateboards are nowadays, but after riding this board I would say it’s definitely worth every penny. Excellent product Santa Cruz. *Note - The handful of little knicks and scratches you see on the board are from me riding the skateboard, there was not a single imperfection on the board when I took it out of its packaging.* Read more
Nice skateboard. Satisfied with it as a 55 yr old skater. Called a cruiser style, but still smaller than boards I had in the 80's. Bearings roll well, and the 78a wheels are smooth. Had to tighten everything when it arrived which was no big deal. Nice quality/price overall from a big name company. Read more
The media could not be loaded. by far the best complete ive had, highly recommend replacing the bearings with bones reds, other then that its great to ride and cruise around very comfortable and is easy to ride especially for beginners, and big enough to fit your feet comfortably Read more
So growing up in santa cruz, aptos, san jose I always skated santa cruz boards. 12 years old 16, early 20s I was always loyal to santa cruz decks. They always lasted, local, unique because my friends in other area's I lived road other brands yet they always liked my decks. Well now that Im 39 and havent touched a board sense I was 24 I got the bug and decided I wanted to lean more 80s old school that 90s 2000s popsicle stick trick deck. I wanted a cruiser I wont hurt my self on to skate between buildings at work or around my apartment complex. Im 6ft2, 212 lbs so the bushings needed replacing, $6 hard dime bags did the trick and I changed out my wheels for surf skate led's yellow and red to match the Santacruz dot. It looks really sharp now and I still have the slimeball wheels it came with to put on a Frankenstein board I have been building. For the price range this was the best option for what I wanted that I could find and it happens to be my go to brand :) Ironically enough I remember skating krux at 14-16 when everyone else road independence and this board comes with krux so that's another bonus! Good trucks, good deck, good wheels, Im going to assume good barring's, its hard to top for the money if you got big feet and want an 80s style deck to cruise. My coworker warned me Id like it a lot because he had this board once and loved it and he was right! Read more
Well build, loved it Read more
I am 6'1 and 190lbs and this board is the perfect size for me. As someone born in the 80s, the shape of the deck brings back memories. Wheels are nice and soft, and have no issues on sketchy terrain. Only changes I made upon delivery were tightening the bushings and swapping the ABEC3 bearings for some ABEC8 Reds, which made this board WAY faster. Read more
Beautiful board, the maple wood deck looks better in person. great deck curvature for tricks and cruising. only problems are the bushings already tearing and the bearings could be better but cheap fixes. Overall great board Read more
I’m bigger (6’1 & 230lbs) and it handled my weight and large foot (size 13) really well. I highly recommend it…enjoy! Read more
