Review on ๐Ÿ›น Ridge Skateboards Retro Cruiser Skateboard - Big Brother Edition by Daniel Warren

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A truly amazing value for money cruiser

I bought a 22 foot Ridge almost two years ago and it still works (perfect portable cruiser for around town and school). However, its smaller size reduces stability at high speeds and rough terrain, so I opted for the larger 27-inch model and noticed a much more stable ride against such elements. The board is significantly thicker and heavier than its little brother and is equipped with wider bogies. Given the abuse I've given the 22-foot with a slight flaw, I expect the 27-foot will last quite a while; The plastic is strong enough. Only criticism is that the bearings are not that good. Even when the nut is loosened, the wheels do not spin for long and there is friction when driving. It was the same with my 22'; Luckily, buying new branded bearings (I recommend BONES REDS) eliminates this problem and makes for a much faster and smoother ride.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
