Real D*Face Collaboration Brock Deck - 8.12

Real has teamed up with world famous UK graffiti artist and skater D*Face!

This Real D*Face Skateboard Deck is 8.38 inches wide.

D*Face aka. Dean Stockton. Grew up in London and had a childhood interest in graffiti. He credits this to Henry Chalfant's coverage of New York subway graffiti in Spraycan Art and Subway Art, later as a teenager skateboarding and in particular Thrasher magazine's coverage of skateboard deck graphics led his interest in stickers and the DIY mentality associated with skate and punk fanzines. He attended an illustration and design course and worked as a freelance illustrator/designer whilst honing his street work. Influences included Shepard Fairey's "Obey Giant" art campaign, Jim Philips, hip hop, punk music, and popular animated cartoons.

He held his first major London solo exhibition, Death & Glory, at the Stolenspace gallery, which sold out in October 2006. Since then, his exhibitions have included a solo show, Eyecons, at O Contemporary in Brighton in March 2007, again a sell out show. This featured new paintings, an installation and two prints — of Kurt "Kant Complain" and Cli-Che. D*Face was the owner and curator for the Outside Institute, a contemporary art gallery in London that focused on street art. In 2005 the Outside Institute moved and re branded to become the Stolen Space Gallery. In 2010, D*Face collaborated with Christina Aguilera, on her album cover of Bionic (album).

Choose the Right Board

Understanding how your board is made and how it works is crucial to choosing the right board. The feel of a board is made up of several components; materials, construction, concave, shape and dimensions (wheelbase, length, width, nose and tail). All these factors add up to the final result and how it will feel under your feet.

Skateboard deck width and length is determined by individual need and desire of the skateboarder. It also is determined by the type of skating you plan to do. Wider decks (over 8" wide) are normally used for vert / ramp / park skating. Narrower decks (7.5" - 8.0") tend to be used for street skating. Most skateboards fall within the width range of 7.5 to 8 inches. There are some that are slightly smaller or slightly larger. Smaller boards are easier to control and do flip tricks with on the road. Wider boards are easier to manipulate in a pool. Pick the skateboard you will be most comfortable with and have the most fun skating around on.
