Arbor Street 8.0" Skateboard - Chroma

The Arbor Street Series isn't the best known option for a complete skateboard, but it is absolutely one of the best! This Arbor Chroma 8.0" is no exception.

Arbor are better known for their snowboards and longboards but have had a dedicated street team for years, and that knowledge has trickled down into complete skateboards that are amazing quality and value.

The Deck

• 8" x 31.75"
• 14.125" wheelbase

• Medium concave - enough to have solid control, but not make your feet ache

The Trucks

• Ace Trucks 44 Classics

The wheels

• This is soft for a dedicated street wheel - designed to add comfort so you can skate around in your street without rattling your knees and ankles to pieces, whilst still maintaining speed in the skatepark

Comes with ABEC 7 bearings and griptape - ready to ride straight out the box.

The Chroma 8.0" has a pretty wicked dino/scorpion graphic going on, but if you don't like it... well, you're about to learn to boardslide anyway so it'll be gone in no time!

If you're looking for a complete skateboard at great value with solid components that will last, the Arbor Street Series is an option that can't be beat.
