Element Skateboards Hatched Cruiser

[@gengiskhan2005]

i bought it ! really nice one ! and also if you form the street skateboard like me it's really confortable and quiet similar ! not too big or too short ! really good size ! the nose could be smaller ! used fisrt on the road and in a pump track too. it do the job well ! one thing , the clear griptape is dirty really fast but good quality grip .

[@thehouse]

It’s a super fun board!!!

[@makjude]

Hi, how's the quality holding up until now? Thanks.

[@gengiskhan2005]

@@makjude hi. Still the same. This is m'y board for cruising to me the tail and the nose are bit too high to make street tricks. Out of it, it is a really confortable board.

[@phoenixtheshark]

Did yours come with standard-style clear grip tape? Mines came with some weird clear spray-on griptape. It's been holding up so far, but it's starting to wear now. Other than that, the board itself has been holding up fine as well.

[@gengiskhan2005]

@@phoenixtheshark clear griptape Smooth but very good. Then i change. Because in France all pumptracks are New AT thé country side. And out.of pumptracks its fkin dirty. 😂

Im new to skating and looking for a good cruister to start with do you recommend this element? Cuz its definitely a eye catcher

[@thehouse]

For sure, it's honestly impossible to get the wrong board when getting your first board. Especially for cruising on! ELEMENT HATCHED -> www.the-house.com/elh87535zz-element-cruiser-skateboards

[@makjude]

The Element Hatched Cruiser feels more like a street skate (a wider popsicle with bigger wheels) or a mid length cruiser (a shorter version of a 40-45" longboard)? Thanks.

[@phoenixtheshark]

Definitely feels more like a regular street deck than a longboard. Just has bigger wheels and a slightly bigger deck overall.

[@chrishammonds72]

Thinking about getting one of these. Is the grip any good on this? I’m used to riding normal decks but haven’t skated in over 10 years so maybe a cruiser might be good for me now I’m older

[@phoenixtheshark]

Yeah, the grip is fine. It's not like regular griptape though, I think it's sprayed on or something. But regardless, it works fine if you're alright with clear griptape on a skate deck.

[@kosmiczny1380]

I wanted to get Elemnt X Timber bound 10" [multi] is it a good cruiser ?. Can I do a ollie on it or other tricks ?, but manly I just want to ride it, is it good for rideing on cracks and holes ?

[@thehouse]

For sure, it’s kind of shaped like an old school board that used to be the standard for all types of skateboarding. The bigger/softer wheels will definitely roll over cracks and holes better than a standard skate wheel too. ELEMENT TIMBER -> www.the-house.com/eltb10955zz-element-cruiser-skateboards

[@rafaelrmenegasso]

Is it good in pools? Id change the wheels

[@gengiskhan2005]

I regulary keep the original wheels but if you wanna change , the film maker wheels are nice size for it

[@isel764]

Is it good for tricks?

[@phoenixtheshark]

Depends on what you're trying to do. Ollies are alright, but flip tricks are a little harder due to the bigger wheel and deck combo (it's like 9 inches wide or something). I dunno about other tricks like shuvs and no complies.

[@makjude]

Hi, is it easy to ollie and kick flip on it (ex. deck geometry with the tail and nose curving upwards)? I'm thinking how it compares to the Element Boar cruiser and Santa Cruz Classic Dot 80s Cruzer. Looking for a new complete for cruising and basic tricks (ollie; kick flip). I don't live near a smooth skate park so I need a technical deck with bigger wheels.

[@thehouse]

The shape of the deck is not that far off from a standard skateboard. Its the size of the wheels that will make it a little harder to ollie and do tricks compared to a standard board.

[@makjude]

@@thehouse Thanks. One final question: Does the shape of this deck make it easier to control while cruising compared to other cruiser deck shapes (ex. flat nose and/or flat tail)?

[@thehouse]

@@makjude Not really. When it comes to all skateboards, cruisers and longboards the shapes are more about personal preference and feel under your feet.

[@gengiskhan2005]

@@makjude yes 👍

[@Lingatsu]

How is it in comparison of a street skateboard ?

[@thehouse]

Very similar kicks and concave just custom shape and bigger/softer wheels

[@Lingatsu]

@@thehouse I see. So it's good for doing tricks even if the nose and the tail are note the same size ? Do you know a good double kicktail cruiser please ? I seen the prism nail but it's a bit expensive for me.

[@thehouse]

@@Lingatsu I wouldn't say its good for doing tricks. Which the bigger/softer wheels, risers and non-popsicle shape you CAN do more than just cruise, but a standard board with standard skate wheels and trucks is ALWAYS the best for doing tricks no matter what skill level you are.

[@Lingatsu]

@@thehouse I see, thank you !

[@rafaelrmenegasso]

Do you think it's good in pools? Id change the wheels to something harder

[@sebollas45]

How heavy is the board?

[@thehouse]

Pretty standard weight compared to any other complete.

[@DoctorRevers]

Awesome board for the price.

[@thehouse]

Agreed!

[@user-bs4jy9sr8m]

Hi is it safe to bomb hills with?

[@phoenixtheshark]

If you're planning on bombing big hills, you should look into a downhill longboarding setup. This is a cruiser mostly for cruising around and having fun inside cities.

[@MLeo0]

I just got one today for 50 bucks wuuuw brand new

[@makjude]

How's the quality? And it feels more like a street skate (a wider popsicle with bigger wheels) or a mid length cruiser (a shorter version of a 40-45" longboard)? Thanks.

[@MLeo0]

@@makjude totally recommend this complete board, nice quality and its fast rolling like it is, I have been skating mostly vert and bowls since i was a kid. I have experienced with a lot of different shape and sizes of skateboards 🛹🤟🏼

[@francesca9294]

What are normal element completes like? Are the trucks okay or do they break easily??

[@oldmanwintereight]

The trucks are good, I'm actually riding one of the standard completes right now 👍

[@thehouse]

What @oldmanwintereight said 👍

[@francesca9294]

@@oldmanwintereight oo thank you!

[@iosoi3145]

​@@oldmanwintereight Hey I'm hoping you could help me with a few questions: Did yours come with Element brand trucks? Is the turn/turny-ness similar to trucks you've ridden before? Does the kingpin wiggle or feel loose like a lot of no-brand trucks? - thanks in advance 😊

[@oldmanwintereight]

@@iosoi3145 it came with the stock Element trucks, they feel good. Just like any other standard truck 👍
