Post Your Cruiser

Anyone try kryptonics? my ojs might need replacing

I rode a set of the Blue 55mm Kryptonics for almost 10 months, they are the best cruiser wheel I have tried to date, super solid wheel, wore evenly, the fastest soft wheel ever, and very smooth on any surface even the worst roads. Only reason I took them off was because I chunked one doing a slappy on a curb and tore up the inner lip of the wheel. Will be buying a few more sets for sure, may even take it up to the Red Formula, I'd say avoid the green unless you have really awful roads to deal with, the biggest problem with the Green Kryptos & OJ Mini Hot juice is that 78A is just to soft, that's a lot of what leads to them ripping and cracking so quickly

[Paco Supreme]

Thanks, didn't even realise the colour indicated a softness level, found some for cheap so I might scoop them up

[Brandon]

haven't had a proper cruiser in a long time, so i'm pretty excited to skate this.

5boro 8.5
indy 169s...i think? not sure of width.
58mm OJ keyframe plain janes
bones swiss
some risers

[BMCsteve]

^ Nice one!  Still one of my favorite series in the last 5+ years.

I don't really skate it as a cruiser but I just swapped out my street axe with this new street plant 8.875

[bluntstofakie]

Can't believe this thread died. I don't really have a cruiser right now so this will have to do.



Lance Mountain future primitive
Thunder 169's? with bones soft bushings
Vision shredder wheels
reds
unknown rails

[DM]

Nice Southsea sticker, skater there a lot

[TwisT]

I picked this up on black friday for under 50$ and I dont ride it at all

[tangar]

both of those look hella fun!

[ZEBRA]

Don't know how to get the picture over. Tried the insert image button, but no luck. So, if you want to see my set-up for whatever reason, click the link.

Welcome Chris Miller 8.5
Indy Hollows
Bones Reds
Spitfire Speedies 56mm
Mob Grip
Indy Allen key hardware (painted red with Rustoleum)

 Does anyone have a recommendation for truck size? I'm stuck between Indy 159 or 169 and Ace 66 or 55

[Koji-Wu]

It would depend on what wheels you are running but I wouldn't go bigger than 159's due to the taper on the board.

OG mountain future primitive in relatively good condition will be worth a decent amount of money if you want to part with it rather than skate it.

Gonna slap on 159's and mess with regular wheels. Maybe Spitfire 80HDs

Ya I will most likely go that route. Would you suggest leaving it complete or trying to sell just the deck?

[noileum]

haven't skated nearly enough over the last few months - so with the hopes that I might just have a cruise about a bit more exploring the new city where I'm working I've set this up

1939 board, Ace 55's, Kryptonic 91a, random offcuts of grip left in my bits box



got a nice stubby nose, and having just had a quick push around the block I think it's going to be fun as fuck

I love this board and the grip/sticker job. My OCD wouldn't let me actually run it like that but it looks fun.


Indy standards 109s,129s,139s
I've always rode spitfires growing up and I even have a spitfire tattoo but I dig bones ATFs on a smaller cruiser/liquor store board. They feel so good but STFs/SPFs I can not ride. I tried riding regular bones but they're not for me F4s and the classic formula spits are my shit. I session those little cruisers with the small ATFs every once and awhile but the DT, Z-Flex, and PP `Bones’ deck are mostly for skating to my car when I have to go to work or when I get home from work at 3am and don't want to be a dick to everyone sleeping. Hard wheels make so much noise at 3am. On a side note FUCK MY HOA! I have to park outside the complex and sometimes it's a bitch to find parking and I live way in the back corner so it's a mission

I got two long skateboards that I like to bomb hills with but I barely ride them. My homies that don't skate LOVE them. "Can I ride your longboard, bro?" Or "I'm going to the beach can I get that longboard?" I'm usually working but I know they're out mongo footing around Venice or Hermosa that day. AntiHero 34in and Zip Ziiiiiiiiiiiinger aren't longboards right? They're just long skateboards made by two awesome skateboard companies. Lots of longboarders in L.A. Don't want to get lumped in with them.

[El Chupacabra]

I made a handful of Ingres shovelnose cruisers.



Fun shape. Street tail, square nose. Its wide too, I think 8.6 or thereabouts. USA made!

[oyolar]

I'm skating an old Surprise square tail board as my cruiser and this might seem super nitpicky and odd, but do any of you think that your pop on a square tail board is different than your pop on a popsicle board?  I feel like I don't get as satisfying of a sound when skating my cruiser and it takes more effort to pop as high as I normally do, almost like the force is spread out over a larger area?  I don't know if it's the board or if it's because I'm skating super soft wheels, maybe the board is a little heavier, it's all in my head, or what.  It's not a big deal but I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this.

I figured it was this but also wasn't sure if I was just being neurotic.

[N.L.]

My kids on the left and mine.

Diieta / Krux 4.0s / Paradise 56mm 78a                  Deck crafters/ 149s / Ricta Clouds 58mm 86a
She hasn't used it much, as you can tell                  Was using this as my regular board but needed a new cruiser and it fit the bill.

^^Damn what a coincidence, bought and set this cruiser up yesterday, and in the latest post here I see the same board.
Dieta x Red Clouds Collective 8.5
Ace 44s
Powell Bomber 3 64mm 85a (these slide pretty well without too much effort, super unexpected)
Independent Black bearings.

Nice. its a great little shape. Dieta are good dudes to support also.

Rad N.L. Here's our father/son cruisers. My kid kinda commandeered the scumco so I got a new one to keep up with him





Scumco 8.7 x 32
Theeve  v1 TIAX 5.25, old and ground to the axle
5/16 risers
60mm OJ 78a
Bronson bearings

Skaterbuilt conekiller 9 x 32.5
Independent 159 with 1/8 risers
66mm gravity burners 77a (longboard wheels, gasp!)
Swiss super 6

Stoked on the skaterbuilt deck, it's like nothing I've ever ridden. Pointy nose, wheel wells, deep concave and Formica slick bottom. It's a slalom board with adjustable 17-23" wheelbase, I have it at 17, you can see the other mounting holes.  The wheels are massive! Even more plush and grippy than the OJs. Both setups are insanely fast and fun, the scumco with small theeves turn fast and twitchy while the skaterbuilt with 159s turn wide and swoopy.

On a side note, I'm impressed with the Bronson bearings. My son rides through every puddle he comes across (the board is more like an aquatic vehicle) and the bearings are still fast, smooth and quiet. I still cringe after every puddle though

That scumco shape looks really nice

Friend gifted me this and I'm not sure if I should use it or actually use it. It's pretty cool but the wheelbite is pretty gnarly

In case the linked image doesn't work here's my instagram

You're also right about soft wheels....it's a bit mental but ultimately your ollies feel like crap w soft wheels...that said....I had a square tail...risers...97's and that board I could Ollie high cause it was just more beefy.....you could huck yourself.....
