Chocolate Respect Jordan Trahan Deck

The G052 shape is designed with a longer shovel nose and a full round tail. This geometry is specifically tuned for technical street skating, offering a bit more surface area for flick tricks and a consistent, predictable feel when popping off the tail.

Yes, the 8.25-inch width combined with the G052 shape makes it versatile enough for both. The stable wheelbase and rounded tail perform well on transition and ramps, while the flick-friendly nose handles street obstacles with ease.

This deck uses standard seven-ply maple, which is the industry benchmark for balancing weight, pop, and durability. It provides a stiff, responsive ride that holds its shape well under normal skating conditions.

Chocolate has committed to planting two trees for every one harvested to create this deck. It’s a conscious effort to offset the environmental impact of board production without compromising the quality or performance of the maple wood.

A 14-inch wheelbase is a standard, middle-of-the-road length that offers a balanced feel. It provides enough stability for higher speeds while remaining quick enough to maneuver through technical street lines.
