Baker T-Funk Skateboard Deck

An 8.75-inch deck is on the wider side, which provides a very stable platform for learning balance and foot placement. While it might feel slightly heavier for technical flip tricks, it is an excellent choice if you prioritize stability or plan to skate transition and ramps.

The slick bottom is designed to reduce friction when you are sliding on rails, ledges, or coping. It helps you maintain speed through grinds, making it easier to lock in and slide longer distances compared to a standard screen-printed deck.

This deck is versatile enough for both. The 8.75-inch width offers the stability needed for park and transition skating, while the slick bottom construction is specifically engineered to enhance performance on street obstacles like rails and ledges.

Because this deck is 8.75 inches wide, you should pair it with trucks that have a similar axle width to ensure your setup feels balanced. Using trucks that are too narrow can make the board feel unstable, while trucks that are too wide might interfere with your wheel clearance.

Like any graphic, the slick bottom will show wear over time with heavy use. However, the material is specifically designed to be more durable and slide-resistant than standard ink, so it tends to hold up better against the friction of concrete and metal obstacles.
