Your Frequently Asked Questions about Cruiser Boards!

Today, we will be answering your very own questions about cruiser boards. If you're curious about cruisers and want to know everything there is to know about these boards, you've come to the right place. 

What's the difference between a cruiser and a regular skateboard?

The primary distinction lies in the length, regular skateboards are typically longer than cruisers. Furthermore, cruisers lack a nose – the front part that doesn't kick up like the tail does. The wheels on cruisers are intentionally softer, facilitating easier pushing and smoother rides, making it convenient for getting around, even navigating through cars and tight spaces.

Can I ride my cruiser downhill?

Absolutely! Cruisers are perfect for cruising downhill, but let's keep a few things in mind. With their shorter size compared to traditional longboards, you'll feel nimble and confident as you carve those slopes. Just remember, their softer wheels might make braking a bit tricky, so show off your foot-braking skills or find other cool ways to slow down. Safety first, always ride within your comfort zone and take on those thrilling downhill rides with a big smile and a lot of stoke! Get ready to own the streets and hills with your awesome cruiser!

Are cruisers suitable for all ages?

For sure! Cruisers are a blast for skaters of all ages. Whether you're a young shredder or a seasoned rider, cruisers offer a fun and versatile skating experience. They're perfect for leisurely rides, commuting, and even cruising around the park. Just pick the right size and style that suits you best, and you're good to go! So, whether you're a kid, a teenager, a young adult, or a young-at-heart adult, get on a cruiser and enjoy the ride! Skating knows no age limits!

Can I perform tricks on my cruiser?

While cruisers are not specifically designed for tricks like traditional skateboards, they are versatile enough for some skate park fun. You can ride bowls, pump around corners, and enjoy a smooth ride due to their soft wheels. However, performing slides may not be possible with the soft wheels. If you're interested in doing tricks that require harder wheels, you can easily swap out the wheels on your cruiser. By changing to harder wheels, you'll be able to slide and perform a variety of tricks to your heart's content. Remember, cruisers offer a unique blend of manoeuvrability and smooth rides, making them a perfect choice for both cruising and exploring skate parks.

How do I maintain my cruiser?

Maintaining your cruiser is a breeze! Keep an eye on essential components like bearings, trucks, and hardware. If anything seems weak, rusty or worn, replace them promptly. Regularly clean and lubricate your bearings to keep them in top shape. As for the trucks, make sure they are tight and well-adjusted to your preference. Checking and tightening all hardware ensures a safe ride. Remember, keeping your cruiser in great condition means more enjoyable and worry-free skating sessions. So, give your board some love and keep rolling smoothly!
