Product Review - Superdead 8.5 deck

With SYB our main aim from the start was to highlight and represent all the Scottish Shralpers that are making our scene up here fucking gnarly.

For the shralping to get this good tho we need decent Skate Companies that will supply our wooden weapons of choice, provide foot cushions to shield our mangled feet, sew plaid fabrics to cover our battered swell-bows, stitch denims tae hide our scabbie knees and make shit to cater for all our other shredding needs.

That's why SYB is stoked to sample a Superdead deck for it's first Product Review. Superdead Skateboards rose from the dark demonic north of England in the early summer, much to the surprise of alot of people. No shitting about, straight off the bat they manage to spew out a serious team that meant business. With the legendary nonchalant human that is Andy Scott, mancunian good lad - Eddie Belvedere, street destroyer - Harry Lintell, grown-up asbo - Josh Parr, nimble footed ripper - Chris Barrett and new squire - Ben Rowles.

Now that the SYB history lesson is done, I can tell you about the 'Just 4 Jenna' 8.5 Fresh size board....
First and foremost the graphic itself is definatley an instant classic, as I can't say I've ever seen a demon of a Scottish Schralper bare so much for his love of Skateboarding but Stu did! After swallowing the little bit of vomit back down on closer inspection of the board you also notice the actual Supedead logo - which I gotta admit is rad, simple yet rad.



Being an 8.5 this deck will definately suit the park/taller/hesh skater, personally with size 10's it makes a world of difference having a little more width when rollling away from a trick or heshing about on transitions. The build quality of the board is top notch tae, proper wood, finely shaped, equal and symmetrical finish. The nose concave is medium(ish height with a nice fat rounded shape meaning you have a nice bit of give for your feet to stay on the board or more sweet spot to get yer tech gnar flick on. The tail, ever so slightly more rounded seems to let you snap real nice.

Overall this board gets the SYB seal of demonic approval, not because we are biased or this is our first review - but just because it is a DAMN FUCKING GOOD Deck and a DAMN FUCKING GOOD British Skateboard company. Go out and buy one of these boards if you get the chance, you'll be supporting a British Skate company and have yourself a fine piece of wood at a fine price.
