Our review finds the 22.5 in Mini Cruiser Skateboard is a compact, ready-to-ride option best suited for kids, youths and beginners who need a reliable first board.

Who It's For

The mini cruiser is ideal for children, youths and beginner adults who want a low-maintenance board for commuting short distances, riding at school or learning basic tricks and balance. Its small footprint and light weight make it especially good for riders with small feet or for parents buying a first skateboard for a 4+ year old.

Serious street skaters, long-distance commuters, or adults who want a large deck for higher speeds should look elsewhere for a full-size skateboard or longboard. This board is optimized for convenience, stability and value rather than advanced tricks or downhill performance.
