Those look so fun! Curious about how much they'll go for.

Just saw this. Man this looks dope! $115 (http://www.turntablelab.com/the-wall/0/0/88312.html)

i have this, but I hardly consider it a cruiser. fun to keep on hand in case you get stuck at a spot and wanna dork around on a weird board


[close]

Does that thing feel like it's ever going to break? Iv'e always wanted one but Im scared I would just snap that crailtap wood.

I don't know if it boosts the structural integrity, but the pinkish/purplish board I've got has a fiberglass layer. Thus far it has not broken, but it's incredibly flexible as it's got no concave at all.

Recently, my signatured Jeff Grosso cruiser I won on here met it's untimely demise under the tire of a mustang. I've since graduated the Crailtap board to full cruiser status, using the riser pads and big black softies from the old cruiser. It's fucking fun! Feels like I've time traveled back into the 60's every time I booze cruise to the bar. I've got some rails I may install that were intended for the now deceased Blacklabel, but I'm hesitant to predrill the huge holes needed to properly install them. Maybe if I jump on this carpet bandwagon the rail nuts/bolts will be effectively obscured

Got one! Fucking fun, though it feels a bit slow, don't know if it's the wheels or the bearings. Otherwise, it's awesome.

Also, been sitting on this guy for a while. Bought the board a few months back off a meth-head for $20, still in the plastic. Just got the trucks/wheels, etc. day before yesterday.




I'm emassing quite the collection of cruisers.

- Custom shape
- Old Real 8,38"
- Value trucks from my friend (they we're cheap)
- Zip Zinger wheels
- Tons of stickers

I might do something on the griptape, not sure. I really don't have any ideas right now.

I live in the UK and probably use my cruiser boardmore  often in the winter, any time it dries just a bit even if only to go to shops. It beats doing no skating and weeks of just being indoors.

Has anybody tried one of the new AWS Pong-Pusher boards? I'm intrigued as to how well that rubber grip works, but I would be tempted to buy one regrip it and use it as my main board. That shape is like my dream come true!

is it just me or does that seem like it would get a ridiculous amount of dirt and other shit stuck in it?

my friend had that cruiser and hated the way the grip felt. if i recall correctly alien makes that shape in normal boards from time to time. they just did a grant taylor model in that shape and i feel like they did one for omar around 6 months ago

I had that pingpong gripped board, and it was the heaviest board I've ever tried skating.
seriously man, it felt like longboard territory.
but the grip totally does work (and yeah, also gets dirty fast)

if you're going for an alternatively gripped board, just get one of the corktopped cruisers habitat puts out, or buy one of my carpet cruisers (if I do wind up going through with making an online store 2012.

I had that thing on my watch list and I missed the fucking auction. Did you win it? I remember it sold super cheap, like $28...
