The skateboard is no longer just for doing ollies onto a railing or pulling out a 1080 on a quarter pipe down at the park. Grown adults who are seeking a new way to get to work that breaks away from the commuter bike, bus, and scooter rigmarole now can pick up a cruiser skateboard built for long, straight rides on asphalt. Unlike standard skateboards these are intended for extended riding rather than short jaunts ending with hard landings on the sidewalk. They’re longer, more stable, and easier to grip so anyone can push their way to the promised land.

When picking your skateboard, the first thing to consider is what you own skate experience is. If you’ve never hopped on a board once, or haven’t done it since you were in knee pants, then you’re going to want one built more simply, with the newbie in mind. On the other hand, if you want more speed and are better on your feet, a board with a little more edge will fit you perfectly. For riders at any level, we’ve gotten you the best cruiser skateboards to get you gone.
