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!!

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.

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.

This product was exactly what I expected it to be and I honestly prefer this over a Penny board because of its flex. Before purchasing this product, I watched many reviews on YouTube and read through several reviews on Amazon to see if it would be worth the $60. I have to say it is worth every penny (no pun intended). I purchased the Black Tiger (Gold and Black board) and it is absolutely beautiful. The board appears exactly as it does in the seller's photo however, the flex does take some getting used to. It is quite hard to balance at first but once you find the right footing, the ride becomes much more comfortable than that of a Penny board. The board comes very stiff out of the box (in terms of the trucks) but can be easily adjusted to become nice and loose for smoother turns using the provided T-tool. The T-tool I received did come with some extra flakes of paint inside the the screw portion of the head and the built in screwdriver does seem to pop out quite easily without intention, but this isn't a big deal when you look back at the quality of the board itself. I bought this board as a means of transportation across my college campus and it does just that. It is small enough that I can pick it up and take it inside a dining hall or a classroom, a great advantage over using a bike or longboard as means of transportation. The Skatro board isn't as stable as a longboard though, as cracks or rocks on the road will be your greatest enemy. For that reason, I recommend this board for those with previous riding experience and those that are aware of their surroundings. Make sure to go over cracks at a moderate speed and avoid rocks as you would with any other skateboard. In other words, do not ride this Skatro board the same way you would a longboard because they don't have the same stability you would get from the length of a longboard. They simply aren't the same thing. However because the Skatro board is so much smaller than a longboard, it makes it much easier to maneuver through sharp turns. The only difficulty is finding your balance because this is quite a small board. I wouldn't recommend this board for any kind of stunts but if you have good balance and are looking for a simple commuter, this is the board for you. (Final Note) I have ridden many skateboards in my time and I have to say that these are quite average bearings. On a flat surface, it takes quite a few kicks to travel a good distance, and for this reason, I would recommend replacing the bearings if you're looking for a faster ride. I have ridden my board for about a mile after adjusting the tightness of my wheels and trucks and the wheels have started to glide smoother, but not quite as fast as I would like. If you want more speed from the board, upgrade your bearings. I will be purchasing Bones Reds bearings in the near future.

This Skatro board is great. My 11 year old daughter and I (I'm in my 30's) enjoy our boards very much. It's a great board especially for beginners. The Skatro technology and the care placed into making this product greatly outweighs the cost of the purchase compared to competitive boards. It's a fast, smooth, stable ride right out of the box. The Skatro board itself can withstand up to 220 lbs with its Skatro Flex Technology. The board comes pre-assembled, is made with the Skatro Ultimate Abec-7 bearings, and comes with a free all-in-one T-Tool for when any adjustments or parts replacements need to be made. This board pretty much pays for itself. It's a pretty fast, good sized cruiser for any age. It's light-weight and portable, does not require grip-tape as it has a waffle-designed surface. This board would make a great gift and is well worth the purchase.. ... You're never to old to skate.

Oh wow. I am a 45 y/o mom. My son is 5. I got him this skateboard, and ended up trying it myself. I never felt coordinated enough to use a skateboard. I tried it as a child with no success. This little really well made board made my day. Not only I got a hang of it right away, but also liked it so much that I am considering getting myself one. My son was immediately able to do difficult moves with it. I highly recommend this board. Very beautiful and sturdy. It also feels smooth when riding it. Easy to maneuver.

This board met all expectations! It arrived on time and had all the parts it was supposed to have. The box was a bit beaten up since it wasn't packaged in a larger box, but that didn't seem to affect anything with the actual product- so no biggie. I ordered the White Panda and the board itself it beautiful. The trucks are painted perfectly and the board has a nice gloss to it when outside. I was a bit scared when I first got on because the middle section bent much more than what first seemed like it would. But the flex didn't cause any issues when I actually rode it outside. Keep in mind that I am 19 and roughly 150 lbs, so it was of concern at first that this board could snap under me (sure hope it doesn't, I really want this one for a long time). I had to loosen all the bolts at first because they were a bit tight, but once I did, everything was smooth and moveable. I was concerned about the quality of the bearings and how long the wheels would roll for before I bought this board. Before loosening the nuts, the wheels only spun for 1-2 seconds. After loosening the nuts, they spun for a good 4-6 seconds. Not bad, but I do know that the Penny Board brand's wheels spin for a bit longer. Nevertheless, the wheels are still great and provide a good, smooth ride outside. It's a good match to the Penny Board brand and for waaay cheaper. I would much rather drop $55 for this than $120 for the Penny I was about to buy. The t-tool is a definite plus. I was hesitant to buy this board at first because it is ~$10 more expensive than other similar boards on Amazon, and I didn't think I'd need the tool. But immediately after opening the box I needed it and was reassured that I made the right choice with this brand because of that. Overall, a great purchase and am looking forward to the exercise and fun it will bring!

color is unique. easy to learn and my 7 year old son can ride on it with a few trial. smooth and can slide far. recommend it.

Bellissimo skateboard buona qualità e prezzo giusto. Non fa una pecca. È davvero resistente agli urti e ci si muove molto bene. Ottimo regalo per bambino 9 anni. Soddisfatta. Grazie Amazon

First off, I'm just learning how to skate and I needed something small to throw in a backpack so I decided on a penny board. I didn't want to pay $100+ on one, and Skatro fit the price point. I received my board 1 day early which was nice, and it came with everything described. It's really well built and rides smooth. I've been practicing every day since I received it on Aug. 2nd and I can cruise pretty well, it's not so hard to learn if you put in the time and YouTube some stuff. Basically, it's a plastic penny board and it works great: tough, enough flex for comfort and the trucks and bearings are quite smooth out of the box - I'm super happy with my purchase. I'd also like to note the CEO of the distribution company sent me a personal email making sure I got the board on time and that everything was in order upon receiving it, and we had a back and forth as well. I'd like to think that if you did have a problem, they could resolve it pretty quickly. Because of this, I'm gonna stick with Skatro for any future purchases. TL;DR: VERY good quality for the price, amazing customer support. Very happy with my purchase, would recommend for a beginner learning to penny board like myself.

Super verarbeitetes skateboard! Stehe seit fast 17 Jahren erstmals wieder auf nem Skateboard, da ist es natürlich etwas schwerer sich an sowas kleines biegsames zu gewöhnen. Trotzdem läuft es jetzt nach einer Woche super. Das board ist extrem wendig und überraschend stabil (beim ersten draufstellen hatte ich Zweifel). Trucks und Rollen machen einen hochwertigen Eindruck, daß Deck ist halt aus Plastik. Ich kann mir nicht vorstellen wo Penny, Globe und Co hier noch groß verbessern könnten um den doppelten Preis zu rechtfertigen.

This was bought for my daughter who wanted a Penny board. Well she's not disappointed and neither is my credit card. I know nothing about skateboards, but she's really enjoying it which is the important thing. It runs smoothly and is surprisingly sturdy for it's size. The tool to loosen/tighten the wheel bolts is really handy. The company informed me of the delivery time and made a couple of follow up emails giving more info and tips. They seem to be behind this product 100%. I think my other daughter will be wanting one soon. I will have no hesitation getting her the same make, but a different colour, you know what siblings can be like. :-)
