Gear Review: Lifeblood Coffee Cruiser Grande

Value Rating: 10 Durability Rating: 10 Overall Rating: 10 Location of Test: Portland streets / Burnside skate park Duration: 1 month Product Name: Coffee Cruiser Grande Product Brand: Lifeblood Skateboards Best Use: Cruising streets and carving bowls Sizes Available/ Specs: 8.5 wide The Full Review: The Coffee Cruiser Grande is made by Portland based company, Lifeblood Skateboards, with artwork by Portland based artist, Andy Thompson. The Cruiser shape is a fun playful shape that feels good skating a curb, in park transitions, or just skating the Portland streets with a morning cup of coffee. The Good: Fun stable shape produced with quality Maple wood by the P.S. Stix Factory. The Bad: Cruiser shape has a square tail and pointed nose which is not ideal for some flip tricks or more technical skating. The Bottom Line: A fun laid back shape by a Portland company and a Portland artist. For anyone who has coffee in their veins as their Lifeblood.
