Is Quip a good “penny-style” board alternative on Black Friday?

Yes, Quip hits the same grab-and-go sweet spot with a compact, durable plastic deck (22.5" x 6" or 27.5"), Slant kingpin trucks, polyurethane wheels, and ABEC-7 bearings. It weighs roughly 4–6 lbs depending on size and supports up to 220 lbs. Shop Quip.

Are beginner skateboards included in Black Friday deals?

Yes, Alameda is beginner-friendly thanks to its stable 31" platform, durable 7-ply maple deck, 95A wheels, and responsive Slant trucks.

Is Quip good for college commuting and city errands?

Definitely. Quip’s small footprint fits in lockers and backpacks, weighs under ~5 lbs (about 4 lbs for 22.5"), and rides smoothly on soft PU wheels—ideal for short commutes and quick hops. Grab one here!

Does Alameda arrive assembled during Black Friday?

Alameda ships as a complete skateboard with trucks, wheels, bearings, and grip—ready to ride. (Just check hardware tightness before your first session.)

What’s the weight limit on these Black Friday skateboards?

Both Alameda and Quip have a 220 lbs recommended weight limit.

What wheel hardness comes on Alameda?

Quip is spec’d with polyurethane cast wheels and ABEC-7 high-speed carbon bearings for a smooth cruise.

Are skate tools or protective gear included in Black Friday skateboard deals?

Can I use Quip for tricks?

Quip is designed primarily for cruising—its compact plastic deck, softer wheels, and commuter-ready setup make it ideal for rolling, not for advanced street tricks. For kickflips, ledges, and bowls, choose Alameda.

What’s better for beginners on Black Friday—Alameda or Quip?

If you’re skatepark-curious or want to learn basic street/transition skills, go with the Alameda (31" deck, 7-ply maple, 95A wheels). If you want super-portable, smooth cruising from dorms to coffee runs, go Quip (22.5" or 27.5", 4–6 lbs, ABEC-7 bearings).

7.5": easier flick, lighter feel for technical tricks.

": more surface area and stability for ramps, bowls, or bigger feet. Alameda offers both widths on a 31" deck.

Do Black Friday skate orders qualify for free shipping and returns?

Skate orders $200+ ship free in the U.S., and sale items are eligible for our standard 50-day return policy (subject to terms).

Can I finance a Black Friday skateboard purchase?

Yes, retrospec offers “buy now, pay later” options (e.g., Shop Pay/Afterpay/Affirm availability displayed at checkout) across most orders, including Black Friday Deals.

Are all colors discounted for Black Friday?

Not always. Sometimes specific colorways are marked down based on inventory. Check each product’s color and size dropdown, like Alameda’s rotating graphics or Quip’s color palette, for the current discount.

Any quick maintenance tips for new boards bought on Black Friday?

Check and snug up hardware after your first ride.

For smoother cruising, adjust truck tightness to your comfort.

Keep bearings clean and dry; replace if exposed to water or grit.

Store boards away from extreme heat or cold.
