FAQs
What size deck should I get from the DGK collection at SkatesUSA and what truck width fits it?
Selecting a deck width from the DGK collection at SkatesUSA depends primarily on riding style and terrain preference rather than shoe size. Skaters seeking fast flip trick rotation typically select narrower decks between 7.75 inches and 8.0 inches, while those focused on landing stability choose decks between 8.25 inches and 8.5 inches. To maintain stability and prevent wheelbite, truck axle width should match the chosen deck width within a tolerance of 0.25 inches.
How durable are DGK skateboard decks and how long do they keep their pop?
Pro-quality decks in the DGK collection at SkatesUSA are constructed from premium 7-ply maple wood to provide lasting pop and high durability. The medium to steep concave geometry engineered into DGK decks offers responsive snap for performing ollies and technical flip tricks. While heavy vertical impact on off-bolt landings can cause pressure cracks in traditional wooden decks, proper landing execution directly over the truck bolts maximizes deck lifespan.
Are complete skateboards from the DGK collection suitable for beginners?
Complete skateboards from the DGK collection at SkatesUSA offer an optimal entry point for beginners by supplying a fully pre-assembled board ready to ride. These factory completes combine 7-ply maple decks with standard trucks and street wheels designed to help new skaters master cruising, balance, and fundamental flatground tricks. Experienced or heavier skaters often transition to standalone DGK decks paired with custom high-performance trucks for heavy impact street skating.
What is the difference between MOB and Jessup griptape for a DGK skateboard deck?
Choosing griptape for a setup from the DGK collection at SkatesUSA depends on desired traction levels and footwear durability goals. Jessup griptape provides a smooth 80-grit surface that allows quick foot repositioning for technical flip tricks while minimizing shoe wear. MOB griptape features a coarser silicon carbide grain and micro-perforated backing to eliminate trapped air bubbles, delivering maximum grip for high-speed skating at the cost of faster shoe wear.
What unique apparel and collaboration decks are in the DGK collection at SkatesUSA?
The DGK collection at SkatesUSA includes specialized accessories and streetwear alongside core hardgoods, offering graphic tees, comfortable hoodies, and DGK Dirty Ghetto Skateboard Wax. The lineup also features exclusive limited-edition collaboration series, such as the DGK x Kaido House and Bruce Lee collections. These collaboration decks integrate unique collectible artwork with pro-quality 7-ply maple construction suitable for display or performance street riding.
