Globe Big Blazer Complete

Globe Big Blazer Cruiser: Built to Roll

The Globe Big Blazer Complete is a ready-to-ride mini cruiser that balances a planted, confident feel underfoot with the nimble proportions that make urban skating genuinely fun. The board ships fully assembled so you can push straight out of the box, with every component spec'd to work together rather than cobbled from generic parts.

Construction and Components

Resin-7 Hard Rock Maple Deck

Globe builds the Big Blazer deck from Resin-7 Hard Rock Maple, a construction method that uses a water-based resin to bond the maple plies. The result is a deck that resists moisture warping, holds pop longer, and feels lively rather than dead underfoot. The profile features a stable, mellow concave that gives your feet a natural reference point and a kicktail at the tail for quick pivots and manual tricks when the mood hits.

Slant 6" Wrapped Trucks

The Big Blazer runs Slant 6" trucks with a wrapped finish. Slant trucks are designed with a geometry tuned for cruising: responsive enough to carve, stable enough to push with confidence at speed. The wrapping adds a clean aesthetic that holds up to regular use without looking worn after a few sessions.

62mm 83a Cruiser Wheels

The 62mm 83a wheels are the reason this board rolls the way it does. The 83a durometer is on the soft end of the cruiser spectrum, absorbing road vibration from cracks, pebbles, and rough pavement so the ride stays smooth. The 62mm diameter gives the wheels enough rollover momentum to keep moving without fighting every imperfection in the ground. These are not trick wheels; they are distance-eating, commute-friendly cruiser wheels.

ABEC 7 Bearings

ABEC 7 bearings sit at the performance end of what you find in production completes. The tighter tolerances compared to ABEC 5 or 3 translate to less friction and more consistent spin, so the wheels keep rolling after each push rather than bleeding speed between strokes.

Built-in Bottle Opener

A machined bottle opener is built directly into the hardware. It is a small detail that signals Globe's commitment to making a board that fits the lifestyle around skating, not just the act of skating itself.

The Globe Big Blazer as a Cruiser Skateboard

The Globe Big Blazer sits in the mini cruiser category: shorter than a longboard, longer than a standard street deck. That middle ground makes it versatile. The wheelbase of 17.5" keeps turns responsive without the twitchiness of a shorter deck, and the width gives riders with larger feet a stable platform. The mellow concave is intentionally relaxed, so the board works well for skaters who want a comfortable commuter or a relaxed weekend ride through the neighborhood, not a board demanding constant technical engagement.

Globe designed this board around the idea that cruising should be effortless. The component choices, from the soft wheels to the stable truck geometry, all point toward one outcome: a setup that rewards smooth, flowing skating rather than grinding or high-impact tricks.

Globe Brand Background

Globe was founded by the Hill brothers, Stephen, Peter, and Matt, who began in the mid-1980s distributing third-party boardsports brands in Australia through their Melbourne-based company Hardcore Enterprises. They launched their own brand in the mid-1990s, starting with footwear for skaters and surfers before expanding into apparel and hardgoods. Globe now operates as a global boardsports brand with decades of product development experience behind its complete setups.
