REAL SKATEBOARDS - TEAM "REAL SLICK" DECK (8.5)
The Real Team Real Slick Deck brings the next generation of sliding technology to a wider, more stable platform. This 8.5" edition is designed for skaters who want the maximum landing surface and stability of a larger board without the "drag" often associated with wider decks on ledges and curbs. The Real Slick construction features a high-performance slick bottom that ensures you can slide longer, faster, and on surfaces that would typically be unskateable.
This deck features a unique ridged embossment and a distinct perimeter overspray finish, combining a tactical aesthetic with a specialized texture that further reduces friction during slides.

Key Features
Real Slick Technology: The bottom ply is reinforced with a specialized, low-friction polymer that makes boardslides, tailslides, and bluntslides effortless. It is designed to be thinner than traditional slicks, maintaining the natural flex and snap of the wood.
Ridged Embossment: The slick surface is textured with raised ridges, which minimize the amount of surface area touching the ledge. This results in less friction and significantly higher slide speeds on all types of obstacles.
Modern 8.5" Profile: A favorite for transition, bowl, and heavy street skaters, providing a massive footprint for stability while remaining responsive enough for technical flip tricks.
Tight 14.25" Wheelbase: Despite the 8.5" width, the 14.25" wheelbase ensures a nimble turning radius, making the board feel agile and easy to maneuver in tight spaces or on technical ledges.
Perimeter Overspray Finish: A custom visual detail where a secondary color is sprayed around the edges of the graphic, giving each deck a premium, hand-finished appearance.
Guaranteed Pop: Built with 7 plies of premium North American Maple, ensuring that the board feels consistent from the first session to the last.
