Great Buy for The College Commuter

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.

Penny rides a PennyBoard for the first time

My name is Penny (like the coin) so of course I wanted to buy a pennyboard. As a first time skater I did not want to shell out $90+ for a skateboard. THANK GOODNESS FOR AMAZON CUZ I FOUND THIS GEM! My favorite color is orange so of course I got the orange one. Received it in 2 days, took it out of the box and went for spin. Easy to use and ride. I had trouble turning at first, but used the tool to loosen the trucks and I was set to go! It is a great board and I recommend to anybody ESPECIALLY FIRST TIME RIDERS. Happy skating!!

READ THIS

First of all I'm going to apologize for writing a thesis. So it took me a while to order this particular skateboard. I had owned a traditional style skateboard, but I had no interest in doing tricks I just wanted to use it to cruise from point A to point B. But little did I know it could barley do that, it was loud, obnoxious, and ineffective. If I tried to ride I would have to push 2-3 to go 15ish feet. So I stopped riding it until last week. All my friends have longboards and said if you want a board just to cruise, why don't you get a cruiser/penny board. I looked up some videos and found this one. AND IM SO GLAD I DID. The soft wheels make it almost dead silent, compared to my other skateboard that was loud and obnoxious. When you push once with this board it takes you 20ish-30ish feet. Which is basically doubling what my skateboard could do. And to loosen your trucks or wheels to give you better turning radius etc. you would have to buy a thing called a t-tool. These multi tools cost about ten dollars, but this board had a matching color one for free. Which in my opinion is a bargain. I totally recommend getting this cruiser IF you are wanting to ride from your house to a friends house/gas stations etc. DO NOT GET IT IF YOU WANT TO DO TRICKS. It is possible to do tricks but that is not what this board is meant to do. If you want to do kick flips and shuv-it's, get a traditional skateboard. But I totally recommend this board to any one that is interested. Notes- I think it could hold more but just be careful because the "weight limit" is 220 pounds. And because penny boards bend to give it its own suspension it confused me from going flat piece of wood (skateboard) to a bendy piece of plastic. So don't think you will be able to ride it immediately, practice and get a feel for it and then begin.

Big City Friendly

I'm about 6 ft tall and while carrying all my gear and riding the board I was putting well over 300 lb of weight on it and it cruised fine. It is tricky of course to ride such a small board if you have big feet. some of my shoes are size 11-14 but I still managed to make it work and get comfortable once I regularly ride. It was a smooth ride to the bearings and wheels were fine. Had no problems turning so the bushings must have been fine. Put in quite a lot of mileage on it as a daily Rider. The best part was the small size made it comfortable to pick it up real quick and carry it around for a few dashes where you can't ride in the city or hopping on the bus or train. If I'm taking a break from riding right now for lack of quality pavement but when I hop back on the board I think shark wheels will make this board safer and ride better so I'll order some.

3 boards, 3 happy boys and one happy mom.

I Purchased three of these boards due to the price and positive reviews. I ordered the white board with black wheels, blue board with red wheels, and the black board with multi-colored wheels. I was pleased and thoroughly pleased with all of them. The look as the images shown. My 3 boys really like them, their friends comment the boards are cool etc. Now what you are really interested about... They come with ABEC 7 bearing allowing a nice smooth roll. Upon arrival, they all used the T-tool to adjust the boards. They can easily adjust all their boards with it. The board is light weight 4lbs 2.1 oz on a kitchen scale. Lastly, they are durable. My husband backed over one with a trailer accidently resting the trailer wheel on the center of the causing the center of the board to touch ground. He drove off it thinking he destroyed it and the board sprung right back to its original shape, the board suffered a few scratches but very minor. Some reviews mentioned the items they recieved smelled of smoke; the three I received didn't. The packaging is nice and makes for a nice gift.

Great board but...

Don't be fooled by some of the reviews or the price itself. This is a very good quality skateboard for the price. Cheaper by 60 dollars than a brand name penny board but that is not a problem. The plastic is durable and can take a beating. I mostly use it for cruising around and going through rough streets. It has nice trucks that are really easy to adjust and very responsive. The flex in the board actually helps with riding on sidewalks. This board is really good but there are some things that need to be replaced. The bearings are durable but they don't spin very good. I recommend switching these out with bones RED bearings. Also the wheels are not the best so change those out to. Overall the board is really nice.

Lightweight and perfect for the novice skateboarder

Lightweight and perfect for the novice skateboarder. I have a 12 year old daughter who is just learning and this is the perfect size and easy to carry around. The colors are true to discription and we're loving the "Girlie" colors. I would recommend to anyone who is just starting out or just wants a fun and lightweight skateboard.

Good board

Got this for my boyfriend and he loves it! He uses it mainly for traveling around on campus at school. He is 6'1 and around 140-150. It seems to support his weight well. He said although the board seems to bend or flex slightly when he said it's supposed to do so as it acts as a shock absorber. He's had it for a couple months now and he seems to love it! So far no broken things or any big issues. It's probably not recommended for doing tricks and seems to have a weight limit somewhere around the 200 lbs mark as one of our friends tried to ride it and it seemed to significantly flex/bend more with the increased weight. Overall, great board!

Totally worth it! Quality product! 👍

Here is my Comprehensive review: Got this board about a week or so ago. It's been decked out with stickers and I adjusted the trucks and bearings to my liking. And I must say, it's a solid board. Rolls like a champ, and doesn't feel a bit like a rip off. I recommend slightly loosening the hex-nuts holding the wheels in place to get more spin. The board also comes with a T-tool. With a hex-side for the truck bolts, and wheels. The T-tool includes a small Philips head that fits inside The T-tool. The only issue I have, isn't even with the board! It's with the Philips head. It does fall out from the T-tool with little shaking/effort. But that's a very minor, MINOR gripe.

Awsome skateboard just Awsome!!!

My daughter wanted a skateboard for her 16th birthday, so I got her a pink and mint green skateboard. We opened it up the box and the mini cruiser was cover in bubble WRAP, so it was PROTECTED which I LOVE ABOUT IT because it show that Skatro cares about their product. Comes with tool she need to make changes if need. Now she is in love with it. She will be outside all the time with the skateboard. She says that it much easier to ride, don't have to worry about small rock, and the ride is completely smooth. I would buy this again if my daughter wants another one!!!
