Globe G1 Mind Expansion Cruiser
The Globe G1 Mind Expansion is a cruiser from Globe Australia, filed under the brand's Skate Decks lineup for riders who want an easy, everyday board to get around on.
Cruiser Category Design
As a cruiser, the G1 Mind Expansion is built for casual, everyday riding rather than technical trick skating, the kind of board people reach for to get across town, cruise a boardwalk, or ride between classes.
Who This Board Is For
Cruiser skateboards like this one suit riders who want a comfortable, stable deck for transportation and casual rolling around, whether that is along the beach paths and neighborhood streets South Florida riders cover every day, or just a quick ride to grab something nearby. Whether you are setting up a complete build or refreshing your current deck, a cruiser shape like this is built around easy, stable rides rather than tight technical turns.
Caring for Your Skate Deck
Keep grip tape clean and check that your trucks and bearings are tightened and free of sand or grit after riding near the beach, since sand and salt air can accelerate wear on hardware. Store your board out of direct sun and moisture when not in use to protect the deck's graphics and construction.
Globe Australia's Boardsports Roots
Globe traces back to the mid 1980s, when Melbourne's Hill brothers, Stephen, Peter, and Matt, began designing, producing, and distributing third party boardsports brands in Australia through Hardcore Enterprises. By the mid 1990s they had built their own global boardsports brand, starting with shoes for skaters and surfers before expanding into apparel and hardgoods for the broader market.
