Heroin The Pickle 2 Skateboard Deck

While the 11.13-inch width makes it a beast for transition and bowl riding, its size can make technical flip tricks on flat ground quite challenging. It is best suited for skaters who prioritize stability, cruising, and carving over high-impact street technicality.

The asymmetrical shape is designed to provide a specific, locked-in feel for your feet, which can help with board control during deep carves or transition maneuvers. It offers a unique reference point for your stance, though it may take a short adjustment period if you are used to traditional symmetrical popsicle shapes.

To get the most out of this deck, you will want to pair it with wide trucks, typically in the 169mm to 215mm range, depending on your preference for axle width. Using trucks that are too narrow will make the setup feel unstable and prone to wheel bite.

The mellow concave provides a comfortable, stable platform that feels less aggressive underfoot than a steep concave deck. It offers enough leverage for turning and carving without feeling restrictive, making it a great choice for skaters who prefer a more natural, flat-footed sensation.

A 14.50-inch wheelbase is relatively standard, which keeps the board feeling responsive despite its massive width. This balance helps prevent the deck from feeling like a sluggish longboard, allowing you to maintain maneuverability in tight spaces like bowls or ramps.
