Unleash prehistoric power with The Heated Wheel Rex Man 8.75" Skateboard Deck, a fierce creation from Neil Blender’s iconic brand. Founded by the ‘80s and ‘90s skate legend, The Heated Wheel blends retro-inspired designs with modern craftsmanship. This 8.75" x 32.5" deck features a classic popsicle shape with Blender’s bold Rex Man graphic, showcasing a vibrant, dinosaur-themed artwork on a varied woodstain background. Crafted from 7-ply Canadian maple with a single cold-pressed design, it offers a medium concave and a 14.5" wheelbase, ideal for street, park, and transition skating. Built for durability and responsive control, this deck is perfect for skaters seeking a wider platform with old-school attitude and contemporary performance.

Key Features

  • 7-Ply Canadian Maple: Single cold-pressed construction ensures a durable, lightweight deck with consistent pop and strength.

  • 8.75" Width: Wide popsicle shape ideal for street, park, and transition skating, offering stability for bigger tricks and landings.

  • Medium Concave: Provides a balanced, responsive board feel for precise control during technical maneuvers and grinds.

  • Rex Man Graphic: Neil Blender’s vibrant, dinosaur-themed artwork on a varied woodstain background adds a unique, retro aesthetic.

  • Popsicle Shape: 14.5" wheelbase with standard nose and tail supports versatile trick performance and stability.

Compatible Truck Sizes

For an 8.75" deck like The Heated Wheel Rex Man, the truck axle width should closely match the deck width for optimal performance. Only Independent Trucks and Venture Trucks are included:

  • Independent Trucks:

    • Size 149 (8.5" axle width): Slightly narrower but compatible, offering a balanced setup for street and park skating.

    • Size 159 (8.75" axle width): Perfect match for 8.75" decks, providing stability for transition skating.

  • Venture Trucks:

    • Size 5.8 (8.5" axle width): Compatible for a stable setup, though slightly narrow for the deck’s width.

    • Note: Venture does not offer an 8.75" axle width, so Independent 159 is the best match for stability.

  • General Guideline: Trucks with an 8.75" axle width (Independent 159) are the best match for this deck, while 8.5" trucks (Independent 149 or Venture 5.8) offer a slightly narrower stance for agility.

Preferred Wheel Sizes

The 8.75" Heated Wheel Rex Man deck’s wide size supports a range of wheel sizes suited for street, park, and transition skating:

  • 50-52mm: Ideal for technical street skating, offering a lower center of gravity for enhanced control during flip tricks and grinds. Recommended with low trucks to avoid wheelbite.

  • 53-54mm: A balanced choice for street and park skating, providing a mix of speed and maneuverability, perfect for most skaters using this deck.

  • 55-56mm: Suited for skateparks or mixed terrain, offering faster rolls and smoother rides over cracks or ramps, best with mid or high trucks and risers if needed.

  • General Guideline: For an 8.75" 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.
