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.

150mm doesnt give me a boner.
180 is more what i would use. yeah so they look nice and all the rest of it, but I always tweek trucks to the way i like them with bushings and stuff. So you can give me any truck and i will tune it to how i like it. So it doesnt really matter what i ride.
I spose they will sell a whole bunch of these Paris trucks cos of asthetics.
Wheres my free stuff?
