# 5 –  Indy

Supplied with an extra set of wheels, this is more of a children’s board than a real cruiser; the wheels need a lot of force to give real movement, and the deck feels quit flimsy. Once it’s moving, the board does give a smooth ride, but it takes effort to get there.

Pros

  • Spare wheels supplied
  • Added accessories

Cons

  • Stiff ride at start
  • Can break

Who’s It For?
This is definitely a child’s board or a cruiser board that can be the basis of a custom design.

Value For Money

Very expensive for what it is, especially considering its limited performance when compared to cheaper boards.

# 4 –  Apollo Fancy

It did not steal its name. It is a fancy cruiserboard. Delivered ready to roll, this skateboard is crafted from resilient plastic, and features low-rolling bearings that give a fast, smooth ride, and truly responisve handling. Available in a range of colours, there’s bound to be a model that appeals to you.

Pros

  • Solid trucks & easy to adjust
  • Good quality plastic

Cons

  • Poor wheel spin
  • A little short for adults

Who’s It For?

Ideal for those in their mid-teens. For us adults it was a little on the short side.

Value For Money

A mid-price board that offers good performance for those looking for responsive handling.

# 3 –  Globe Big Blazer

Globe, the leading brand within the skateboarding community that brings us great quality products day by day. We loved this Big Blazer board. It is the best within the community of cruiser skateboards for adults. The board itself is built from great quality materials. Only the price made us deduct points.

Pros

  • Wide board
  • Great grip tape
  • Excellent bearings

Cons

  • Not cheap

Who’s It For?

Everyone! This is the board to suit everybody his feet be it small or large.

Value For Money

While this certainly isn’t a cheap skateboard, its performance and quality makes it worth the price tag.

# 2 –  Penny

A respected name in the skateboarding world, this Penny board gives a smooth ride for younger teens, although it is a little pricey, especially if it’s being purchased for someone just getting into skateboarding.

Urban Wheelz Penny Board

Pros

  • the ICON

Cons

  • A little expensive

Who’s It For?

Anybody, this was the standard, the icon within cruiser skateboards

Value For Money

The style of all the other skateboards on this list are called “Penny” boards, that says enough I think.

Call us patriotic but Osprey, a United Kingdom skateboard company has won the number one spot on this list.
