Give younger and smaller riders the perfect introductory setup with the Powell Peralta Ripper Birch Mini Skateboard Complete. Proportioned specifically for beginners and youth skaters, this professional-grade complete scales down skateboarding’s most iconic 1983 mascot—the legendary “Ripper” illustrated by Vernon Courtlandt Johnson (VCJ)—onto an agile, easy-to-control mini platform. Measuring a user-friendly 7.5″ wide by 30.7″ long, this shape accommodates smaller stances and shorter leg spans, making it easier for developing riders to learn consistent foot placement and proper turning technique.

The foundation of this youth complete is built utilizing Powell Peralta’s specialized birch construction. Crafted from strong, light, and hard yellow birch veneers, the plies are fused together with water-resistant glue in proprietary AirLam presses. This low-stress cold press method ensures maximum stiffness, high durability, and a crisp, reliable pop that resists getting soggy over time. The deck is shaped with a comfortable, continuous medium concave that locks small feet securely in place without feeling overly restrictive.

This factory-assembled street and park setup comes fully loaded with high-quality components engineered to work in perfect harmony. It features lightweight, high-stability Mini Logo aluminum trucks equipped with soft, high-rebound bushings for smooth, effortless turning geometry. For a versatile ride across multiple surfaces, it is armed with forgiving 53mm 90A Mini Logo hybrid wheels, high-precision Mini Logo Skate Rated bearings, and wrapped in high-traction black silicon carbide grip tape. Arriving pre-built and ready to shred, this premium setup delivers top-tier brand performance to the next generation of skaters.
