I was surprised to see a board with Shark Wheels—equivalent to a bike's offroad tires—for nearly the price of Shark Wheels alone. Depending on your outlook, Shark Wheels look either interesting or juvenile. But the geometry's aid to stability amid pebbles, debris, and such is evident.
As if it drew scant attention to design, this board seems even slipperier than
my other short plastic cruiser
—that is, a "pennyboard"—why I would barely try to ride it, although the trucks offer more clearance. And, given Shark Wheels' retail price, it's basically free. I might move the wheels to
my wooden cruiser
.
[UPDATE, 4 JUNE 2022: In light of a later review, I tested my board and found that one side's wheels spun well, whereas the other side spun okay, thus neither side as poorly as in the later review's video. By comparison, on my wooden cruiser, pricier and having better bearings, one side's spun freely, whereas the other side's spun very well. (Whatever the odds, both boards showed a spin quality specific to left side versus right side, despite there being no mechanistic link.)]
