Ridge Mini Cruiser Unisex Street Skateboard Black/Red, 27" inch Plastic Frame, 7 Speed Slightly More Stable ABEC-7 high Speed Precision Stainless Steel Bearing

I'll update this after I've used it more but I tried this board for the first time today and love it! I'll be honest in that I have next to no experience skateboarding but so far, this has been a great purchase. The board arrived 3 days early, packaged very nicely. So far, my best friend and I (we're both in our mid-20s and neither of us have ever ridden before) have been practicing in a parking lot and this little thing is holding up nicely.I was initially worried that this board might be too small - I have size 11 feet and my friend is a bit bigger, and between me and him our weight probably ranges from 170-220lbs - but the body of this thing doesn't seemed strained at all, particularly since our feet naturally fall towards the ends to distribute weight. I'm really looking forward to getting to practice and get more comfortable on this. My friend is having such a good time that he's thinking of getting one as well so we don't need to take turns.

I purchased this for my 14 yr old son b/c of the price and the reviews. It was so close to the one he wanted for 110.00 but I refused to pay that much as he has never had a board b/f! He was not happy!! Until he got the board....I asked if he liked his board after riding it and he said "I refuse to admit you were right mom!" He took off on it immediately w/out issues! My husband tried it and it handled his 200lbs just fine (not that he went far!) it is longer than a penny board (which I like) yet portable enough to go places, plastic is nice a thick/stiff yet flexible enough for a smooth ride! My son was so prepared to hate this board b/c I picked it and it wasn't his >100 dollars board, but alas, mother knows best!!

I couldn't wait for this board to arrive. It was good karma as the postman delivered it just as I finished my science project for school. The board looked great right out of the box. I grabbed my helmet and jumped on. Big Gucci to Ridge. The board is smooth and rolls well on the street. Great speed and carves like Z-Boys of Venice Beach. I rode for 2 hours and couldn't get enough. Looking forward to many hours on this board when I can't make it to the skate park. I will be taking it to the skate park as well. I highly recommend this board, especially for fun.

The other reviews are correct about the packaging. The box looked to be reused and the packaging the box came in was shotty at best. However, the packaging had no effect on the board. It had no scrapes or dings and everything is in perfect shape. The bearings do need to be loosened but other than that this board is a steal for the price and you really will be hard pressed to find such a great board for any cheaper. It really doesn't feel cheap at all and I really enjoy riding it around campus.

I bought this for someone else. It appears to be the ideal quick-deploying mode of conveyance that I envisioned when I first saw it on-line. Solid construction, proven flexibility and durability, and a great price. It arrived with great expedition. I did have to tighten a couple of the truck attaching-point screws, but it seems otherwise to be sound. I don't have the knowledge to say much about the more technical aspects. The value seems very good, all things considered.

Fun to ride, comes fully assembled. Wheels give a real good grip. The problem is every single bearing is useless. They were all frozen even after soaking in speed cream. The tail has a pretty steep kick to it too.

My 13 year old bought this board and is very happy with it. I'm not an expert when it comes to skateboards, but it seems to be a solidly built board. The only thing that kept from giving it 5 stars would be that the wheels don't spin as freely as I would have expected.

Love it's smooth ride and cheap price. The bearing are pretty poor and trucks were very tight. But I can fix the trucks and bearings will get better over time.

These boards are great, especially for kids. Good size, weight, good quality wheels. Excellent for beginners.

My daughter loves this, she’s 13 and very tall. She’s used it all summer. Can’t fault it.

perfect for a beginner who just wants to cruise and feel comfortable on wheels, love mine easy to travel with i got the bigger size for better balance.

Dopo più di un mese di utilizzo (spesso su superfici per nulla adatte, con crepe, buchi e tanto ruvide), posso confermare la qualità dello skate. Gira in maniera fluida e regge egregiamente il mio peso (92 kg per 1.88m).Dopo un paio di settimane potrebbe comparire uno scricchiolio al perno dei truck, nulla di preoccupante, con un lubrificante qualsiasi scomparirà e non darà alcun fastidio.Per il resto ottimo come da aspettative. Consigliato anche, e soprattutto, a chi non ha mai messo piede su un mezzo simile.

Great stable board, a gift for our 10 year old and he loves it.
