An Experienced Rider's Review

A couple details before we begin: Rider weighs 205 lbs, men's US sz 12 shoe, and is and experienced skateboarder (12 years on/off) and snowboarder (21 years every season) so very comfortable on a board. THIS IS IMPORTANT IF YOU ARE STILL LEARNING AND PLAN TO RIDE THIS IN BUSY/CROWDED AREAS. If this is you, I recommend getting a larger board with a wider wheel base to learn on. You can come back to this when you've developed better balance/skill (just my opinion, don't freak out).This review is in the context of "penny" boards and mini cruisers only:Deck: Excellent quality for price. Has some flex, but not excessive, and feels solid/sturdy.Trucks/Bushings: Absolutely get the job done, metal seems strong/trustworthy quality. I loosened my trucks by about 1 & 1/2 to 2 complete rotations on the nut to get the board carving nicely.Bearings: They are stamped abec-7 on the shields, and spin okay. Not the higher quality you can buy seperate, but I don't think I'll replace them anytime soon. I rode down fresh asphalt at about 10% grade and was cookin', even had to drag my foot to scrub some speed.Wheels: Feel soft when cruising on rougher concrete, but like the bearings, not the higher quality urethane you'll get from a set of wheels that cost more than this entire board. I will not be replacing them, they're great for my application/use.Here is the one defect/area of improvement I found: The issue of wheels not spinning freely or being "stuck" is not due to quality of bearings. Its two things: 1) the nuts might be too tight when you get it, just loosed them up a tiny bit. A TINY bit. 2) the hang pin (axle that the wheel/bearing assemblies slide onto) is about 1/8 of an inch too short on either side. The outer side of the wheel hub (inner portion/hole of wheel) extends past the shank (smooth area of pin/axle) and onto the threaded area of the pin/axle. This causes the wheel to actually have some play in it if the nuts are tightened to the point where they contact the spacers and bearings. Because of this, you won't want to loosen the wheel nuts too much in order to get the wheels to spin with less drag/friction caused by the nuts being too tight... hopefully this makes sense. the concern here is speed wobble at higher speeds. I build boards/bikes/funky wheeled creations and this would be a major concern on a higher speed vehicle, but since its a skateboard, specifically a lil' one, it's not really an issue. Definitely not a deal breaker. Board rides smooth, easy to maneuver and manual over cracks/off curbs. If the company can get trucks with a slightly longer pin/axle shank to prevent this, this board would be perfect. No need to buy additional parts to upgrade. I'm incredibly happy with my $22.19 purchase and will be tearing up the bike lanes of NYC on this bad boy!

It's a good board for what it is.

I have been skating for 50 years... used to build my own decks in Australia. Had never owned a "Penny" type board and wanted to try it out. I am 6'4" with size 15 feet so this was going to be an interesting test. I would not recommend this board for kids or beginners... get something a little longer / wider deck and wider trucks. This is a fun board as a second board for someone who already rides... I swapped out for some 70mm wheels and some Bones Red bearings and it now rolls for EVER. (and as an answer to reviewers who say their board broke... if you bounce on the middle of the board or try to do ollie / kickflip you WILL break it... buy a different board... ride this board with your feet placed over the bolts and it will last forever)

Fun and Stylish, but Not for Beginners

I'm mostly pleased with my purchase. The classic retro design and the quality of the materials are definitely noteworthy. It's a stylish and compact skateboard that's easy to carry around.However, it might be a little challenging for beginners. The shorter wheelbase and compact size make it less stable compared to longer skateboards, which can be tricky for someone just starting out. Once you get the hang of it, it's much fun to ride and perfect for quick trips around town or campus.If you're a beginner, it might take some practice to get used to, but if you're up for the challenge, the Retrospec Quip Mini Cruiser is a great choice for a stylish and portable skateboard.

A Good Board After Some Adjustments

A good board after some adjustments...First off, the board comes preassembled when you receive it. However the the deck itself is covered in plastic with the trucks installed over it. This makes for a somewhat frustrating time when tearing off all the plastic for a clean look.Upon opening I noticed that the wheels were screwed on way too tight. For anyone who doesn’t know, if the nut that holds the wheel on the axel of the truck is screwed on too tight then the wheel will have a hard time spinning. This is why you may have seen reviews where people say the wheel does not spin at all. I have loosened the nut for every wheel and it spins much better. However, even after loosing the wheels I do not think it spins fast enough for a cruiser board.I highly recommend purchasing some ‘Bones Red’ bearings along with this board. After replacing the stock ones with these and keeping the wheels loose like a previously talked about it rides a lot better.The plastic of the board is flexible. Also the top of the board does not have grip tape. It is just plastic but I do not find myself slipping off.The trucks(some people call them pegs) are metal. They get the job done and I am satisfied with them. I believe that the more expensive penny style skateboards have trucks that allow for better carving. These ones are still good and you can maneuver around people easily when skating.Despite the board being small it feels a little on the heavy side.Overall after making some adjustments I am very happy with this board. I use it almost daily to go around my college. It provides speed and a smooth ride. I would like the wheels to be a bit more soft because I have had moments where I feel like I should be able to ride over bigger cracks in the pavement but I cannot. Still a solid purchase for the price.

Insane value

This is one of those rare purchases where you feel like you're getting more than what you paid for. Simply put, this is an excellent board. It just happens to also be an incredible value.

Ya screwed the trucks into the deck with the plastic on it?!

Gonna be just great. A couple of the wheels are catching so I'll have to tweak the bolts and bearings a little to make sure everything is spinning properly, but otherwise everything I expected... Screwing the trucks into the deck with the plastic wrapped on it is really irking me as I try and decide if I completely remove the tricks to properly cut the plastic or just cut around it
