ATOM 21" Mini Retroh Molded Skateboard

I bought this board for getting around campus because of its smaller size and speed. The ride is very smooth, thanks to the large, soft wheels made of a high quality polyurethane, and the clear injected plastic deck, which gives some flex but feels very durable. The short length, short kicktail, and light weight make it very easy to carry around when I'm not riding. Overall, it met and exceeded my expectations in a number of key areas, and I'm happy with the purchase. If I have any complaints, it would be that the price is a little high compared to other cruisers, but it's justifiable for its unique construction. The bushings could be softer, but they're very cheap and easy to replace. The bearings feel reasonably quick, and they do come with a spacer already installed, but they do not feel like ABEC 9's. I would recommend this board to anyone looking for a quick, convenient mode of transportation along short to medium distances.

This board is a bit of a mix and mash. The wheels and bearings were top notch, great quality. The deck was okay, if a little flexier than I would have liked. The problem is in the trucks. The geometry is just wrong. Lots of lean gives very little steering, and the molding in the deck that makes up the base of the truck was poor, causing a constant right turn. Even with the trucks much looser than is safe, full left lean barely maintained straight forwards travel.I ended up disassembling this board and putting on some edge branded trucks, one of which had given me a severe left turn on another board. This fixed the right turn, and improved the geometry because they were designed for a shorter kingpin. The board rides great now, and is my daily commuter, but I shouldn't have to put 8 hours of trial and error modification in just to have a rideable board.

Great little board but kind of breaks easy. I had three of these actually and I use it to get around my college campus quickly. The first time I broke it, Amazon replaced it no charge. The second time, I was riding on a sidewalk and a little bump sent me in the air just a little bit and as I landed the board cracked in the middle. The third one, which was my brother's, also broke but these boards were really nice and rode very smoothly.

This board is a decent deal for what you get. The build quality and it looks pretty cool, however, It is made of molded plastic instead of vinyl (plastic hardens faster, is more prone to cracking in cold weather and creaky.) there is no base to the trucks. The King pin is fitted into the board itself which make the truck and the board structures strength half of what it should be. since the plastic is so thin when you place your feet on the ends or in the middle it just feels flimsy like it is going to snap.All in all it's a nice looking cheap little board, perhaps for lighter weight smaller children. other than that it wouldn't be a good everyday use kind of board.

This is a pretty cool skateboard. I have had it for about a month now and it's still without issues. Takes some time getting used to the small size though.It's not as weak as I thought it would be and I use it to get around campus everyday. For some reason, the wheels don't spin as freely. So I loosened the wheels a bit and also found out that the washers were installed incorrectly (Maybe just specific to my unit). So anyways, installed the washers correctly and also cleaned the bearings. Rides much better now :D

I got it because although I don't skateboard, I wanted to use it to skate around as a faster alternative to walking. All in all, it is an okay product and yes, the grip does come off. I didn't have a problem with that, I just used spray adhesive, but the board really creaks and I don't know if it's the plastic or the mechanics.

I like my board I have now. The first one broke but the replacement came extremely quickly and now I use it everyday. Great little board for getting around campus. I weigh around 150 lbs too, so it can handle weight it isn't strictly a kids toy. The king pin is set into the board though. I guess that would effect some people from purchasing this. Honestly this is one of the cheapest boards you can find so I would recommend it for the price.

As soon as I got the board and road it I knew was awesome. The grip tape comes off really quick but the top is ridged so the grip tape is really unnecessary. It rides very smoothly and I have ridden it pretty hard and it hasn't broken or needed repair. Heavier than you might imagine. Also it gets girls attention like you holding a pink puppy with wheels ;)
