Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The BANTAM Cruiserboard Commercial is Hot

— December 18, 2011 — Pop Culture
Skateboards are being used more and more as a method of transportation, and the BANTAM Cruiserboard is the newest plastic skateboard to hit the shelves.

Most plastic skateboards on the market are toy grade skateboards that don't last. GLOBE has been able to produce a board that is 100% skateable, and has wider trucks allowing you to grind, and they're offering a lifetime guarantee on the trucks and decks. The wheels are high-grade polyurethane and the bearings are high-speed ABEC 7.

The BANTAM cruiserboard is slightly heavier than other plastic skateboards but only because they have high grade components that are built to last. These plastic skateboards are designed, tested and built in GLOBE'S own the factory so they're able to keep the price down.

GLOBE'S plastic skateboards are available in stores worldwide right now in almost every color combination you can think of, and if the video doesn't inspire you to go skate I don't know what will.
