Ridge Skateboards Big Brother Retro Cruiser Skateboard

This skateboard is just superb. It is clearly extremely well built and very very sturdy. The weight is really heavy, and the product materials seem to be of an exceptional quality. The wheels are really large, wide, and extremely strong, and have excellent manoeuvrability ~ they are made from a very high-grade (very) dense rubber-type material, rather than hard plastic (which the wooden style boards have); these wheels are of a superb quality in comparison. The wheel mounts are big, and so sturdy. They are attached to the board with huge metal bolts, and seem to have a very high quality mechanism, which supports the manoeuvrability of the system. The actual board itself, is made of a very high-grade dense rubber material, which looks as though it will withstand a great deal of long term use.Kids no longer want the huge wooden type skateboards, instead preferring the ‘original style’ which are smaller, slimmer, and have the raised ‘kick lip’ at the rear, which enables the rider to bring the board to a halt, and to perform those tricky moves! This skateboard certainly looks as though it should have cost much more than it did~it almost screams “QUALITY”.This was purchased for a 13 stone, 6’2” 14 year old lad, and is definitely strong and sturdy enough to take his weight, and cope with his skateboarding ‘tricks’.It looks fantastic, and it’s overall quality far outweighs my initial expectations when I purchased it!I’d definitely say, don’t hesitate to buy this skateboard if you are looking for brilliant quality at a reasonable price.Delivery was super speedy, and it was really well packaged.Having said all of that, it is clear from my terms and language, that I am no expert (far far from it in fact), so you must check-out all of the Product Details/Dimensions/Materials etc. yourselves, as I’m merely going on what I can see and feel! But it looks damn good to me. Oh, and one other thing, I haven’t actually tested it (well, my son hasn’t) as it is a gift for Christmas, so of course I can’t comment on the longevity of the performance, parts or product materials. However, if I am able to pop down an addendum in a couple of months time, I will fill you in on how this fabulous-looking skateboard fares after being ‘hammered’ by my lad, okay!

Get them one of these!Good, sturdy skateboard that's great for older kids and adults.And if they only use it for 2 days (like my kid) you won't be as annoyed at yourself as if you'd bought the £200 one that they begged you for, promising that they'd 'ride it every day & do any extra jobs around the house to pay for it' ...This one will do just fine.

This review is coming a couple of years after purchase so it is based on use. We first bought a 22" for my 12 year old and it was such a hit that we bought a 27" for him to grow into (or maybe for me). Both boards are still going strong and have not shown any signs of ageing. The deck is sturdy and easily carries the weight of an adult. It feels stable and the the adjustable trucks give you the ability to change the degree of turning nimbleness as you move from beginner to confident rider. The area we ride in has plenty of tree debris, pebbles and cracks and the wide wheels have been essential in keeping us rolling smoothly. The bearings have also held up with the wheels turning as well as when we bought the boards (to be fair we do not ride when its wet which has limited the risk of grit). All in we have had many hours of fun cruising with complete confidence in the quality and performance of the board.

Very good board, and it feels great to ride, it turns quickly and sharp. Now the bad points on the front trucks the board is buldged and feels weird if you ride concave skateboards, this might be expected but the plastic scratches and dents very easily and the bushings need replacing because they are too hard and stiff also if you make your trucks too loose they flop around, jiggle and are noisy, this doesn't happen after i replaced the bushings with more expensive ones. All round amazing board for £25 compared to £100 original nickle board

Perfect and not expensive penny board for only 28 euro. Very qualitative ! Very soft wheals and good acceleration and moving. Im happy

So I took up skateboarding again after nearly a decade, I wasn't brilliant back then and now I've realised why; my board was partially to blame. It was a cheap one I got from a supermarket no more than £5. I couldn't do any of the things I have been able to do this past month on the Ridge Big Brother, like effortlessly carving and cruising around on practically all surfaces.It's been a fantastic beginners board for me, I've not had to do anything, like loosening the trucks which some have mentioned, straight out of the box it's been awesome. It feels rugged and sturdy with a smooth ride. There is the occasional speed wobble, but that is most likely due to my inexperience.I genuinely look forward to messing about on my board after work.

I ordered this skateboard late on Sunday evening and it arrived before my lunch break at work today! (Tuesday) The postage was incredibly quick, the skateboard itself is brilliant, sturdy with enough flex. If your upgrading from a penny board or 22inch size board, this is a lot more like a longboard in the sense that you can carve, take sharp corners and over all have more control of the board, Plus it's great being able to comfortably fit both feet on this! The bearings are great, a few pushes and you cruise away!I would recommend anyone making the upgrade or investing in a board to get around town to pick up one of these, not only do they look great, they are well built, fast, and still so incredibly light compared to your regular skateboard!
