But what is a cruiser skateboard you ask?
A mini-cruiser can range from regular size to smaller skateboards that are usually setup with softer and slightly bigger longboard style wheels which are great for transporting yourself around. They roll out like a longboard but are as small or smaller than a regular skateboard. Generally cruising style skateboards will have a single back kick so you can ollie gutters ride it in the skatepark or go slashing driveways in your back laneway, but not always. We have a large range of hybrid style double kick boards that will let you hit the skateboard and get grinding across the coping all will still being perfect for that long commute.
Cruiser boards often emulate the original style of skateboards where there were no rules. You just surfed the streets on whatever shape you want and had fun. Lucky for you there is now a bigger range than ever with increased quality and at a cheaper price than ever before
The general specs of a cruiser include:
- Softer wheels ranging in duros from 78a to 90a for a super smooth roll.
- Larger wheels ranging from 56mm to 65mm for increased roll speed. This also lets you roll smoothly over all the bumps on the footpaths, roads and sidewalks.
- Standard kingpin skateboard trucks with a slightly wider and higher stance for better lean, carve and turn
- Both single (oldschool style) and double kick skateboards. The single kick boards will often have a small front kick to provide that great board feel and allows for ollies and manuals. This small front kick will also give you a great reference point when your carving the hills.
- The skateboard deck construction is everything from plastic to bamboo, maple, birch, walnut, oak, rosewood, zebrawood, carbon, koa, and just about everything in between.
- The cruiser decks will often have wheel wells routed out so you can get better turn, and can support bigger wheels
- The shapes are varied from fish style surf shapes to coffin pool boards, original old school narrow cruisers, and wide pig boards
