SC Skate Tech
The Feelbase series offers a traditional width deck with a shorter wheelbase and length for smaller skaters or those who prefer a shorter wheelbase. The shorter wheelbase makes it easier for smaller skaters to get their flip tricks around making skating more fun. FeelBase = Shorter wheelbase, bigger feel.
7 ply North American Maple pressed individually using epoxy - making a strong, responsive deck with long lasting pop and consistent concave and kick.
ATV-S is a universal medium-depth concave for smaller body types. Featuring symmetrical nose and tail kick, ATV-S performs well in all terrains on a wide variety of shapes with wheelbases between 12.75-13-75".
