Review on πŸ›Ή Optimized Kryptonics Torpedo Complete Skateboard by Terry Kohl

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good board, there are some minor issues.

My son wanted this so I ordered it for him. Turns out this isn't the best board for a 13 year old boy in men's size 10 1/2 shoes. He complains that it's too small and wishes he'd gotten a bigger board. So fair warning if you're buying one of these as a gift, make sure the person you're buying it for doesn't have big feet or they might not be happy with it. He also says he doesn't spin well. I'm not a skateboarder so I don't know if it's a short board issue or if it's a mechanical issue. He said he'd searched the net and found that some adjustments could be made to improve the curve, but that helps a little. Also, the friction tape on the back quarter of the board began peeling off almost immediately after first use. After a few uses it was almost half peeled off. So he just took it off completely. Not sure if it's the glue used or the type of plastic used on the board, but it's pretty inferior on this board. After all, he's still using it, but I know he's not entirely happy. That.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Fits
