T-Funk Gravel Pit Slick Deck

The slick bottom is designed to reduce friction when you're sliding on rails, ledges, or coping. It helps you slide longer and more consistently compared to a standard painted or raw wood bottom.

Because of its wider 9.0-inch profile and stable 14.5-inch wheelbase, this deck is versatile enough for both. It provides a solid, planted feel for technical street tricks and offers the stability needed for transition riding.

Using North American hard rock maple is the industry standard for a reason. It provides the right balance of stiffness and pop, ensuring the board feels responsive under your feet without being too brittle.

Not really, but keep in mind that the slick layer will eventually show wear and scratches just like any other deck bottom. You don't need to apply wax to the board itself; the material is engineered to slide on its own.

If you are coming from an 8.0 or 8.25, a 9.0-inch deck will feel significantly wider and more stable. It offers more surface area for catching tricks and landing, but it will require a bit more effort to flip compared to a narrower board.
