Madrid TCM LTD Hitcher/Pool Deck

While you can technically skate it anywhere, this deck is specifically engineered for transition and vert skating. Its 9.8-inch width and pool-focused shape make it cumbersome for technical street tricks or flip-heavy skating.

To maintain stability and proper leverage, you should pair this deck with trucks that have an axle width matching the 9.8-inch deck width. Look for trucks in the 169mm range to ensure your wheels align correctly with the edges of the board.

The 33-inch length provides a longer wheelbase, which significantly increases stability when riding at higher speeds in bowls or vert ramps. This extra length gives you a more secure platform for carving and landing airs compared to shorter, street-oriented decks.

Yes, the wider platform offers a forgiving, stable base that is excellent for learning to pump and carve in transition. However, keep in mind that the larger size requires more physical effort to maneuver than a standard popsicle deck.

Because this is a dedicated pool deck, you have more clearance than a standard street board. You can comfortably run larger, softer wheels—typically 56mm to 60mm—which are ideal for maintaining speed and smoothing out rough concrete in older skateparks.
