Blast Mini Blaster Complete Skateboard 8.0"

Complete skateboard from Blast Skates, the brand that illustrator Matthew Bromley created in 2012 in South London. It started with stickers of a mascot called Smasher and grew to become one of the most recognisable brands in British skateboarding, with that 50s and 60s cartoon style that is visible from a distance.

The deck measures 8 inches wide, the benchmark size for street skateboarding, wide enough to give confidence to beginners and at the same time with quick response when the first ollies and flips arrive.

It comes factory assembled and ready to roll straight out of the box, with components chosen for durability instead of just filling the packaging.

It's a serious skateboard, not a toy, and that's what you notice in the first few months.
