Anti-Hero Jeff Grosso Grimple Stix Deck

The 9.25-inch width provides a significantly wider, more stable platform that feels planted under your feet. It is designed for transition and bowl skating, offering more surface area for balance and control compared to the narrower, symmetrical feel of a standard popsicle deck.

While you can technically skate anything, this deck is optimized for transition, bowls, and cruising. Its shaped profile and wider dimensions make it less ideal for flip-heavy technical street skating, where a lighter, standard popsicle shape is typically preferred.

You should look for trucks that match the width of the deck to ensure stability. For a 9.25-inch board, trucks with an axle width around 9 inches or slightly wider are recommended to keep your setup balanced and responsive.

The shape is functional, not just aesthetic, so expect a different feel in the nose and tail compared to a symmetrical board. It may take a brief adjustment period to get used to the specific kick and leverage points, but it offers a classic, locked-in feel that many transition skaters prefer.

Yes, this deck uses traditional maple construction, which is the industry standard for durability and pop. It is built to withstand the impact of transition skating and will hold its shape and responsiveness well with regular use.
