Globe Skateboards Burner Complete

Old-School Shape, Ready to Ride
The Globe Burner Cruiser Complete is built around Globe's Flashback shape, a classic old-school pool outline that flows as naturally through a bowl as it does along a sunset street session. Everything on this board is dialed in from the factory so you can grab it and go.
Globe has been shaping boardsports culture since the mid-1980s, when the Hill brothers launched Hardcore Enterprises out of Melbourne, Australia. From distributing third-party brands to building their own global label spanning shoes, apparel, and hardgoods, Globe brings decades of boardsport credibility to every complete they ship.
Resin-7 Hard Rock Maple Construction
The deck is pressed from Resin-7 Hard Rock Maple, Globe's proprietary seven-ply maple construction that uses a high-strength resin between each ply. The result is a board that pops crisply, resists warping in humid conditions, and holds its concave longer than standard glue constructions. It is the same core technology Globe uses across its full hardgoods lineup, giving the Burner genuine performance credentials underneath its retro lines.
Complete Setup Breakdown
Every component on the Burner is chosen to complement the Flashback shape and the cruiser riding style it was built for.
Tensor Alloy Trucks
6.5-inch Tensor Alloy trucks sit under the deck. Tensor's alloy casting keeps weight down while holding alignment through hard carves and repeated impacts. The wider axle span suits the Flashback shape and adds stability at cruising speeds.
65mm 78a Conical Cruiser Wheels
The 65mm conical wheels are urethane-cast at 78a durometer, a softness level purpose-built for rolling over pavement cracks, pebbles, and rough sidewalk sections without the board chattering or slowing abruptly. The conical profile gives the wheel a larger contact patch at the road surface for grip and a tighter turn response when you lean into a carve.
ABEC 7 Bearings with Bearing Spacers
Globe specs ABEC 7 bearings as standard across every complete in their lineup. Tighter manufacturing tolerances at the ABEC 7 rating translate directly to less friction, faster spin-up, and longer roll-out per push. All longboard and cruiser completes from Globe also include bearing spacers between the two bearings on each axle, which reduces lateral flex in the bearing assembly during hard carves and gives you quicker acceleration off each push.
Black Inset Griptape
Black griptape is cut and applied inset on the deck, leaving the outer rail graphics visible from above. The inset layout is a deliberate styling choice that echoes the old-school aesthetic of the Flashback shape while still giving your feet a secure, grippy surface across the full standing area.
Who It Is Built For
The Globe Burner Cruiser Complete sits at the intersection of pool skating and street cruising. Riders who want a complete that handles a local skate spot on Saturday and a casual cruise on Sunday without needing to swap wheels or trucks will find it a practical one-board solution. The Flashback shape and soft wheel setup also make it a strong first complete for anyone stepping up from beginner boards who wants something with real performance components rather than entry-level throw-ins.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Globe Burner Cruiser Complete?
- The Globe Burner Cruiser Complete is a factory-assembled skateboard built on Globe's old-school Flashback shape. It comes with Resin-7 Hard Rock Maple deck construction, 6.5-inch Tensor Alloy trucks, 65mm 78a conical cruiser wheels, ABEC 7 bearings with spacers, and black inset griptape. Everything is assembled and ready to ride out of the box.
- What is the Globe Burner good for?
- The Burner is designed for two things: ripping local pools and bowls, and casual street cruising. The Flashback shape provides the wider tail and nose of classic old-school pool boards, while the 78a soft wheels handle rough pavement smoothly on the street.
- What does ABEC 7 bearings mean for performance?
- ABEC 7 refers to the precision tolerance of the bearing manufacture. Higher ABEC ratings mean tighter tolerances, which reduce friction, help the wheels spin up faster, and let you roll farther with each push. Globe also includes bearing spacers on this complete, which reduce bearing flex during carves and give you quicker acceleration.
- Why are 78a wheels good for cruising?
- Urethane durometer measures wheel hardness on a scale where lower numbers are softer. At 78a, these wheels are soft enough to absorb road vibration, roll over cracks and debris without stopping, and produce a smooth ride on rough surfaces while still being firm enough to hold their shape during carves.
- Is the Globe Burner Cruiser Complete good for beginners?
- Yes. The complete setup means there is nothing to configure or purchase separately. The Flashback shape is stable, the soft 78a wheels keep the ride smooth on imperfect pavement, and the ABEC 7 bearings require minimal effort to maintain speed, which suits riders still building push efficiency.
- What is Resin-7 Hard Rock Maple?
- Resin-7 is Globe's seven-ply maple deck construction that uses a high-strength resin between each ply instead of standard wood glue. This process produces a stiffer, more consistent press that resists warping, holds concave longer, and delivers a reliable pop from session to session.
- Can I skate the Globe Burner Cruiser Complete in a bowl or pool?
- Yes. The Flashback shape is specifically designed for pool and bowl skating. The classic old-school outline gives you the wider footprint and tail kick geometry that pool skating favors, while the complete is durable enough to handle transition riding alongside everyday street cruising.
