The Arbor Street Series isn't the best known option for a complete skateboard, but it is absolutely one of the best! This Arbor Daisy 8.5" 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

• 8.5" x 32.25"
• 14.5" 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 55 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
• 6.37" / 162mm hanger width
• 9.0" / 228mm total width
• 2.125" / 52mm height

The wheels

• Arbor Whiskey series - Revert model
• 56mm diameter
• 92A 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 Daisy 8.5" has the nice detail of a gap in the griptape on top - you'll always know which way round your board is. With the bright blue flower and trucks attached, it should also be fairly obvious if its upside-down.

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.
