Performance

On the board, the Speed Demons Checkers 8" delivers stable and predictable performance. The 8-inch deck provides a comfortable platform that balances control and maneuverability, making it ideal for learning tricks and improving board control. The 52 mm wheels support a strong pop and precise trick execution, especially in urban environments. With a 88A durometer, the wheels offer good stability at higher speeds while maintaining consistent roll, perfect for longer sessions and mixed terrain.

Functional construction

The deck is built from 7-ply maple, a proven skateboard standard known for durability, strength, and consistent response. Its double kicktail shape allows tricks to be performed from either end of the board, adding versatility and flow. A medium concave provides natural foot positioning and control without feeling too aggressive for beginners. Standard kingpin trucks with standard bushings complete a solid, all-around setup.

Technology applied to performance

Although designed as an accessible complete skateboard, the Checkers follows clear technical principles. The cast PU wheels combined with ABEC 7 bearings ensure smooth, efficient rolling. The pre-gripped deck delivers immediate traction from the first session, eliminating extra setup steps. The entire configuration is tuned for durability, control, and ease of use.
