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
• Classic and dependable skateboard construction – 7 ply Canadian maple. Sustainable, too, apparently
• Medium concave – enough to have solid control, but not make your feet ache

The Trucks

• Ace Trucks 44 Classics
• Some of the best skate trucks out there!
• These might be the highlight of this setup – there’s nowhere else you’re getting Ace trucks on a complete for this price
• 5.75″ / 146mm hanger width
• 8.35″ / 212mm total width
• 2.125″ / 52mm height

The wheels

• Arbor Whiskey series – Revert model
• 54mm diameter
• 90A durometer
• 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.
