Unleash your wild side with the Thank You Song Geo Tiger 8.25" Skateboard Deck, a pro model for Daewon Song from a brand that’s all about gratitude and community. Founded in 2018 by Daewon Song and Torey Pudwill, Thank You Skate Co. is a skater-owned company focused on giving back while delivering high-quality gear. This 8.25" x 32" deck features the vibrant Geo Tiger graphic—a colorful tiger surrounded by a geometric kaleidoscope of checkers, zig-zags, and diamonds in a multi-colored mosaic. Crafted from 7-ply North American maple with epoxy resin, it offers a medium concave and a 14.25" wheelbase, ideal for street and park skating. Built for durability and responsive pop, this deck provides the flick strength and stability needed to shred any feature with ease.

Key Features

• 7-Ply North American Maple: Cold-pressed construction ensures a durable, lightweight deck with consistent pop and strength.
• 8.25" Width: Versatile size ideal for street and park skating, balancing agility for technical tricks with stability for landings.
• Medium Concave: Provides a responsive board feel for precise control during technical maneuvers and grinds.
• Geo Tiger Graphic: Colorful tiger with geometric patterns in a multi-colored mosaic, reflecting Daewon Song’s pro model style.
• Popsicle Shape: 14.25" wheelbase with standard nose and tail supports switch riding and versatile trick performance.

Compatible Truck Sizes

For an 8.25" deck like the Thank You Song Geo Tiger, the truck axle width should closely match the deck width for optimal performance. Only Independent Trucks and Venture Trucks are included:

Independent Trucks:

• Size 144 (8.25" axle width): Perfect match for 8.25" decks, offering a balanced setup for street and park skating.
• Size 139 (8.0" axle width): Slightly narrower but compatible, providing a more agile feel for technical tricks.

Venture Trucks:

• Size 5.6 (8.25" axle width): Ideal for 8.25" decks, delivering lightweight performance and responsive turning.
• Size 5.2 (8.0" axle width): Slightly narrower but works well for a nimble setup.

General Guideline: Trucks with an 8.25" axle width (Independent 144 or Venture 5.6) are the best match for this deck, while 8.0" trucks (Independent 139 or Venture 5.2) offer a slightly narrower stance for agility.

Preferred Wheel Sizes

The 8.375" Plan B Infrared Joslin Black deck’s versatile size supports a range of wheel sizes based on skating style:

• 50-52mm: Ideal for technical street skating. Smaller wheels lower the center of gravity, enhancing control for flip tricks and grinds on ledges or rails. Recommended with low trucks to avoid wheelbite.
• 53-54mm: A balanced choice for street and park skating. These wheels provide a mix of speed and maneuverability, perfect for most skaters using this deck.
• 55-56mm: Suited for skateparks or mixed terrain. Larger wheels offer faster rolls and smoother rides over cracks or ramps, best with mid or high trucks and risers if needed.
• General Guideline: For an 8.375" deck, 50-54mm wheels are most popular for street-focused setups, while 54-56mm wheels are better for park or transition skating. Opt for harder wheels (83A or higher) for street and softer wheels (80A-83A) for skatepark surfaces.
