Review on ๐Ÿ›น Retro Mini Cruiser Board - 55cm Maple Wooden 22โ€ by Ridge Skateboards: A Complete Package by Jesse Nell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great alternative to pennies

I'm trying to learn to skateboard at 31 and this board is perfect for running. Material and workmanship are really good. I would recommend replacing the bearing with Bones Reds before doing anything. The wheels were also mounted very tightly. The only thing that bothered me was the length of the board, in fact it was easier for me to skate than a long board and a lot less hassle. Drive 4-5 hours, everything is fine. The trolleys are made of metal, the wheels are good, the board is made of wood. I'm glad I chose it over the usual plastic penny board. The only issue I found was that the bogie bolt processing was a bit poor and the threads weren't cut very accurately. It doesn't affect drivability or anything like that, but could be a sign of poor quality control. Overall this is a great board for the price.
