Cruiser Skateboards

Cruiser Skateboards Are Ideal for Cruising

Explore our complete range of cruiser skateboards. There is an extensive variety available for everyday travel and leisurely cruising. Prepare for a glide through the streets. Skateboarding truly is for everyone!

What Constitutes a Cruiser Skateboard?

Cruiser skateboards are designed for short to medium distance cruising. They emphasise smooth rolling and stability rather than tricks or other performance-oriented pursuits.

The deck configurations are among the defining features of cruiser skateboards. Decks are typically directional and broader than the decks of standard trick skateboards, providing more room for the feet.

Another critical component of cruiser skateboards is their large, soft wheels. These wheels allow you to glide over rougher surfaces with ease. Compared to a standard trick skateboard, encountering small obstacles like pebbles poses a far lower risk of falling.

The trucks on these boards are usually quite loose, facilitating easier turning, which enhances agility and allows for a smoother, flowing experience.

Can You Perform Tricks on a Cruiser Skateboard?

Indeed, but cruiser skateboards focus more on cruising than complex tricks. Basic skills like wheelies, ollies, and flips can be performed, though not as effortlessly as on a typical skateboard. Some enthusiasts even take their cruiser skateboards to the pool. For more intricate tricks, you will likely prefer a standard trick-oriented skateboard.
