Thank you! -Ron

Thank you!! -RW

That new Westside path is fast.

Thank you! Watch out for those low tree limbs! -Ron

Sick! Hope you like it as much as I do.

@@NHSSkateDirect it’s so fun! My wife bought the street cruiser. Both boards are so fun to ride!

Rad! Hope you like it as much as I do. -RW

Thx!

Rad! Glad you like it.

Thank you!

Looks like that's the only color way of that graphic we make right now. We also make a similar 80's style cruiser that has nearly the same dimensions with a rounder shape: nhsfunfactory.com/products/9-7in-x-31-7in-iridescent-hand-shaped-cruzer-santa-cruz-cruiser-skateboard?variant=40118056550557

@@NHSSkateDirect I'm trying to choose between the 80s cruizer and the 9,7 inch version. Any advice? The 9,7 inch comes with smaller and harder wheels but would it do great also with 60mm slimeballs for rougher streets? Best board...?

It really is ! Maybe my favorite next to my Powell CAB DRAGON board that's pretty much my go to !

Rad! I think that board is a great size to learn on. Not too big or heavy for a cruzer. Enjoy!

Ahh the Cube... Slater at his finest. Super fun cruiser and the concave felt perfect.

We don't currently make any decks with extra steep concave. There is a SC shape that is symmetrical that Maurio McCoy and Fabiana Delfino use sometimes. It is 8.25 x 31.83 and has the same length nose and tails. Checkout McCoy Afterglow, Transcend, or Flamingo decks or Delfino Ego or Fortune teller and make sure it's that 8.25 x 31.83 (NOT 31.8). Hope that helps! Ron

Glad you liked it! Thx

@@NHSSkateDirect Quick question bro, I'm putting together an 80's style (best era) cruiser board on the NHS Fun Factory website. I'm going to run 60mm ricta clouds. Im thinking of going with the OJ 3/8" orange risers. What do you think my bro?

That sounds like a fun set up. 92a Chrome Cores wheels should slide nice. Ray Barbee is a legend! Grew up watching Public Domain.

My favorite grip. Bring the leopard print back ;)

It comes with 1/4 risers. 1/4in = 6.35mm so it's like riding 53/54mm wheels without risers. I had no issues with wheelbites. Always good to be a little careful at first with new trucks/cushions but they broke in super quick.

I'd go with the 92a Ricta Chrome Core Clouds or OJ 95a Nomads. The Clouds will be the hardest cruiser wheel and the Nomads the softest street wheel. nhsfunfactory.com/products/54mm-chrome-clouds-black-92a-ricta-skateboard-wheels?variant=40118104391837

Powell makes a 93a Green Dragon formula now

I'll work on more trick tips. Making a 'how to slappy' one right now. I will say this on 180s. There's 2 ways you can do them. You can start turning the board before you pop, using the tail to start it turning and almost making it skip like a shove it and then follow the board with your feet. Or You do a straight ollie and really focus on making sure the board sticks to your feet, then you can turn it in the air. Also, you can always land with your foot on the nose and turn it all the way 180 after you land. like many skate tricks, there's many different ways to do it. I've always liked the feeling of popping a nice straight ollie and turning it almost on the way back down. Then you can 180 as high as you ollie straight. Hope that helps!

My dude on an NHS channel if you're going to talk bearings change them for Bronson G2s at least. That or Indy bearings. No Bones talk here. ha ha.

I wouldn't change them. At no point did I feel like it needed an upgrade. It's fast as is.

Ill tell you now. I just got a Santa Cruz Salba Tiger deck. I just got it for cruising and exercise. I got 215 Indy trucks, clear tape, Bones Swiss six bearings. And Powell Peralata Byron Essert wheels. Now I got the wheels for a fast cruise, and to go over pebbles with ease. They are 72mm, 75 a. They are fast as shit. Really, the board scares me, Lol. But the wheels are longboard wheels. So, my board looks like a 4x4. Its so high. Im 6ft 3. And have to be careful whe Ii kick. I have half inch risers on it. I ordered 1/8 risers to see if that helps some. If not, I will have to get some smaller wheels. Lol

I wouldn't go much bigger than what it comes with: 60mm. Maybe 61/62... but wheel biting with soft cruzer wheels can be harsh. They grab more than harder wheels.

You can always add a little more riser or maybe some shock pads. Might need longer hardware depending on how thick though.

@@blacksnakegray2552 wow, would be great to see that setup

@@sosogood7375 since then, I've purchased the jumbo mark gonzoles board. Same berings and trucks. With 66mm slime balls. That board is almost a foot wide. Its literally a yacht.

It's categorized as our "pool" concave. Other decks that have used it were the Creature Navarette Relic and the Grabke Exploding Clock reissue.

Looks like the Dinghy is a bit smaller (28.5" x 8") and doesn't have as much of a nose. More of a compact cruiser. I've never ridden one so I can't speak on how it skates. The 80's cruiser is a little bigger, has more nose and will be better for ollies and tricks.

I have a dinghy coffin and its really fun. i wanted a compact board to carry around and that has quality materials. I would love to have this santa cruz board too but I think (not sure) the dinghy rides smoother. slightly bigger wheels higher abec.

Guessing you mean the Santa Cruz Street Skate Cruzer? Yes. It can do all the same tricks.

@@NHSSkateDirect okay ya that’s what I meant thanks

Hi, i wanna buy your type of santa cruz board, what do you think about the board since you use it? Do you recommend it? Can it go fast?

Hey man! TGM skateboards has what you're looking for, they have an old school Santa Cruz flaming hand complete for only $129 , but they only have one left! They dont charge tax or for shipping.🔥☮

It's a mini though. My mistake

@@burtman9649 no worries appreciate it. I ordered one off of Amazon. Sorry nhs.

@@Alex-305 Ya NHS distributes them so they don't care where you order them from! SK8 Hi

Yep. If we don't have them in stock and it's a recent product you should be able to find them from one of our retailers. Thx!

I've never ridden a Tugboat so I can't say. Also, it depends on what kind of skating you want to do on it. I did see there's Tugboats with reverse kingpin trucks as well as regular truck versions. Reverse trucks turn super quick so those ones will be super turny and carve great but regular trucks will be better for higher speeds and downhill. Personally, I'd go with Santa Cruz because I know the shape and parts are great for tricks as well as cruising.

Back in the day it seemed like there was a lot more 92's and 95's. I think wheel companies are starting to bring them back. OJ and Slime Balls have a lot of those mid range hardnesses.

That too. 9.35 at it's widest point so maybe a bit downsized from the 10 inch vert shapes from back in the day.

It does look uphill doesn't it. Actually going down a little hill but the camera angle playing tricks. No skate workout like pushing uphill... except maybe tick tacking.

@@NHSSkateDirect oh I know, there's an hour long uphill road at my place, it's great going down, not quite so going up

There was a Creature Gwar deck that used that shape. Might be hard to find. Also, there will be some special available when the Speed Wheels Art tour happens. That's been postponed because of covid. Search for "Santa Cruz Reissue decks" and you can find similar decks. We often have them on our site but are out right now: www.nhsfunfactory.com/santa-cruz-skateboards/skateboard-decks/reissue-skateboard-decks

Thx! Ahh the 90's. Danzig and football shapes. Take me back.
