Michael Stefaun's new Pro Deck from Pool Kings is bringing the bling!  Look at that thing!  Click it to visit the site.

Stefaun's roots are in street skating. Therefore, it's only natural that his pool shape closely resembles the traditional, double-end, twin tip shape that so many street decks incorporate. Michael's Pool King deck is constructed using polymer composites and 5 plys of hard rock maple veneers. Pool Kings claim these are 8 ounces lighter than standard 7 ply wood decks of the same size and shape and retain their "pop" for a longer time as well.

How much did you pay for them?: $60
Where did you buy them?: www.pressuredroplongboards.com
What are their weaknesses?: I have not found any yet... The thrashing that wmegginson experienced is likely due to the fact that these wheels are made for DH, and not for pumping about all over town. So if you pump a lot, don't by these wheels b/c they will thrash quickly!!!
What are their strengths?: GRIP, GRIP, GRIP. When they drift there is NO chatter, just very smooth and they hook right back up. These are my favorite wheel for handling tight corners, such a better alternative to Flywheels

Would you recommend them?: Yes
