Skatro Mini Cruiser Skateboard 22x6inch Retro Style Plastic Board Comes Complete

I bought a board from this company last December. After two days one of the pivot cups (a small rubber piece that helps the board turn more smoothly) was ripped by the hanger of the board. At the time it didn’t matter to me because I was an amateur and didn’t know what it was. I emailed support and they told me to replace it. Months went by and I didn’t do it. After a while I finally decided to buy the part and I replaced it. Two days later it ripped again. I got pretty angry by this and I emailed them and told them about the problem as it was an obvious problem I’m their manufacturing. The owner contacted me directly and told they were very sorry about the problem and they sent me a BRAND NEW board absolutely free!! I can’t even believe how easy that was. They told me customer satisfaction is their top priority and I believe them. The new board arrived the next day and I’m already using it everyday anywhere I go. It’s the perfect board for beginners and for people who need a small compact board at an affordable price. And if you don’t get it by now, this is company you can trust. The new board is faultless and of pure quality. I 100% recommend this brand! They will make sure you get the best of the best!! Read more

This board is good so far. I've only ridden it once to test it before I reviewed, but I like it. I wasn't fully prepared for how tricky it would be for me to adjust to such a small board. I kept wanting to put my foot down further back than the board goes, and I did it a couple of times and dragged my foot on the ground (*whoops*). I then compensated by putting my front foot too far forward and the weight would come off the back wheels and lift the board. I took a digger or two (I'm more of a roller skater to be honest), but I think I'll feel more comfortable next time I hop on it. It's super flexy, which freaked me out at first. I'm a heavy-ish adult, but the board is supposed to hold up to 220 lbs and it didn't snap when I took it around, so that's a check in the pros column. The 220 pound weight limit is another reason why I bought this board instead of a cheaper version- I wanted to make sure it was made to hold an adult. It's also a good price, and it was able to be shipped to me in South Korea. The guy from GEG Distributors sent me an email before I got the board, explaining some tips for using it, and he sent me another after I got the board, making sure everything was ok and that I got my shipment on time. I thought that was really nice, and there wasn't any pressure to respond to his emails or leave feedback if I didn't want to. If I'm in the market for another bitty board, I'll definitely order from him again. Read more

I have only ridden two other boards in my life, mostly just to try and learn them. I never did until now. One was a cheap kiddie skateboard from a long time ago, the other time was recently when I tried my friend's longboard. I felt somewhat confident on that so I decided to try learning a mini cruiser. I felt that it might come in handy since college is right around the corner, and I wanted to be able to bike and skate on campus. Other than these two experiences, I have no real experience riding any sort of board. When I first got this, it did have a slight smell of cigarettes upon opening that went away after a while, just as some of the other reviews have stated. I definitely recommend loosening the trucks and wheels a bit as they come tight and the wheels won't be able to spin as freely as they could, nor would you be able to turn very well. Looser trucks also helps you practice balancing, and since this is a mini cruiser, maneuverability is supposed to be one of its strong suits. It took me only a few hours to be able to ride this with a sense of confidence. In those hours, I had abused the board, and it went flying into my garage door and wall, and had landed on its side many times. It gets scratched, but its functionally is still very sound. I had ordered the White Panda version with a white board and black trucks and wheels, but the white board gets dirty easily and I would recommend another color unless you really have your mind set on this one. (The only options available to me at the time were the White Panda and White Mamba.) I am a 5'10" male weighing 185 pounds. This board fits me quite well. It seems that this is suitable for all ages. Yes, it does flex, and I have been able to flex it to the ground (on purpose, bouncing on it like a trampoline), and it seems to be flexible enough not to snap. It is fairly easy to get used to the flex of the board. The only things that even slightly bothered me were the T-tool attachment and one of the truck washers had a burr on it. The Allen/Phillips key that comes out of the tool is not the most secure, but if given proper care, you should have no problem with not losing it. The washer with a burr was easily filed down; I had not even noticed it until I took a really close look at the trucks. There is enough room between the trucks on the bottom to carry it sandwiched between your back and your backpack, through the straps, trucks facing forward. It feels like it weighs only four to five pounds, so it is extremely portable compared to other types of boards. If you're looking for a Penny board without the steep price, this board is an excellent alternative, especially if you're picking one up to learn and see if you like it first. EDIT 02/24/20: Compared to other plastic decks, this thing flexes. A LOT. It doesn't feel as stable as a wood or more rigid plastic deck. Keep that in mind. I eventually got a wood cruiser board and that one is great. As long as you keep your feet over the trucks, you should be fine. Having much more experience now, this is basically a very flexible Penny board, and I personally prefer a more rigid wood deck. Deck flexibility aside, the build quality on everything is great.

Love the board. Got it a few weeks ago mainly on a whim because I like skateboards, but have used it a lot surprisingly. For starters it is a joy to ride. The extra wide wheels feel solid and smooth when you're riding. Unlike a longboard, it's small and easy to fit in the trunk so I often find myself riding from my apartment to my car when I have to park far away (because parking sucks in LA). As a beginner it may not be the best board to learn on because it is so small and easy to lose your balance on, but for a kid or college student who needs it to get around campus, it is the perfect ride. PRO's Small and lightweight Great colors (I got the green and yellow model) Smooth wheels and bearings CON's Hard to balance on for a beginner Impossible to ollie Overall it's a great board if you like to skateboard and just need something to get around on.
