Dogtown Murray Fingers

While you can technically skate it anywhere, this deck is specifically engineered for transition skating. Its 10.5-inch width and vintage shape are optimized for stability on ramps and in bowls rather than technical street tricks like flip tricks.

The substantial 10.5-inch width provides a very stable, locked-in platform. It offers plenty of foot room for carving and cruising, which makes it excellent for riders who prioritize comfort and confidence on larger transitions over agility.

Yes, this deck combines the classic 1980s geometry with modern manufacturing standards. You get the authentic vintage shape and aesthetic, but with the durability and pop expected from contemporary skateboard construction.

To match the 10.5-inch width, you will want trucks that are wide enough to provide stability without creating too much drag. Look for trucks in the 169mm or 215mm range to ensure your setup feels balanced and responsive.

It depends on your goals. If you are learning to cruise or ride basic transitions, the wide, stable platform is very forgiving. However, if you are interested in learning street skating or flip tricks, a narrower, more traditional popsicle shape would be a better starting point.
