Buy a midi board — 27-inch mini longboards
The midi board sits exactly between a skateboard and a longboard: at 27 inches it is shorter and easier to handle than a longboard, but it rolls more calmly and stably than a skateboard. That makes it a pleasant board for short rides around town — and it still fits in a backpack or under your arm when you step onto the bus.
Who is a midi cruiser for?
For anyone who mainly wants to ride and has little room to store the board. The larger, softer wheels roll easily over paving slabs and cobbles, and the shorter deck steers more quickly than a longboard. If you are after more stability for longer distances, have a look at the longboards from 36 to 42 inches; if you want to learn tricks, a skateboard is the right choice.
Frequently asked questions
Is a midi board suitable for beginners?
Yes. The combination of soft wheels and a compact deck makes it easy to handle and forgiving. Practise on a flat surface without traffic first.
Is the board fully assembled?
Yes, it is supplied as a complete board. Trucks, wheels and bearings are fitted.
Can I do tricks on it?
Only to a limited extent. A midi cruiser is made for riding, not for jumping. For ollies and tricks you are better off with a skateboard with a kick tail.
