Built on a robust 8.5" platform, this deck is engineered for the fast, high-impact style that defines Max’s skating on both street and transition.

Performance & Technical Features
-
Full SE Shape: Features a fuller nose and tail profile that maintains its width further toward the tips. This provides a larger "sweet spot" for technical grinds and more stability for high-speed transition riding.
-
Medium/Steep Concave: Designed for skaters who want a locked-in feel. The aggressive concave provides extra leverage for flicking flip tricks and ensures your feet stay secure during heavy G-force carves.
-
7-Ply North American Maple: Cold-pressed using high-density maple to ensure a crisp, responsive snap that resists de-lamination and "soggy" feel over time.
-
4Q Conditioning Artwork: Features the custom "Cathedral" graphic, representing the intersection of Oakland’s DIY motorcycle and skate scenes.
-
Assorted Top Stains: Each deck is finished with a unique top-veneer wood stain, ensuring your setup has a distinct, custom look once your grip tape is applied.
