Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What sizes of DGK skateboard decks are available in this collection? The collection typically stocks a versatile range of deck widths to suit different riding styles. You can find sizes ranging from technical street sizes like 7.9" up to wider, stable transition sizes like 8.25" and 8.75". Be sure to check the specific product page for the exact dimensions of each graphic.
2. Are DGK decks durable? Yes. DGK decks are renowned in the skate community for their durability and consistent shape. They are crafted using traditional 7-ply North American maple construction, which provides a reliable balance of strength and flexibility (pop) necessary for street and park skating.
3. Does SkatesUSA carry limited edition DGK collaborations? Yes, the collection frequently includes special collaboration drops. Currently, you can find items from the DGK x Kaido House series (featuring automotive-inspired graphics) and the DGK x Bruce Lee collection. These often feature unique artwork on both decks and apparel (like t-shirts) and are highly sought after by collectors.
4. Do the DGK decks come with griptape included? Generally, skateboard decks are sold as standalone "decks only" unless otherwise specified as a "Complete." However, you can easily purchase DGK Grand Single Sheet Griptape separately from the same collection to finish your setup.
