Overview
Cruising short blocks on a retro plastic deck, this complete mini board pairs a grippy molded waffle surface with soft polyurethane wheels and ABEC rated bearings. It is sold as a ready-to-ride skateboard in a compact shortboard shape.
A small plastic deck makes the Quip easy to carry and quick to ride on short trips. The limit is foot room, since the narrow, short deck leaves little space for stance changes, and no wheelbase or truck detail is listed.
Who it's for
Newer riders and commuters covering short distances get a light, compact board with a grippy deck. Riders who want room for a wide stance, or who weigh more than the load rating, should choose a larger deck.
Pros and cons
- Compact deck, easy to carry
- Grippy molded waffle surface
- Soft polyurethane wheels
- Complete board, ready to ride
- Narrow short deck limits stance room
- Wheelbase not listed
- No truck or bushing detail
- Load capacity caps heavier riders
Performance notes
A short plastic deck turns quickly because the trucks are mounted close together, but that also gives less stability at speed. Soft polyurethane wheels absorb small cracks and grip the pavement, while the molded waffle texture gives the shoe something to hold. Truck setup is not detailed, so ride feel on rough pavement is not documented.
