Deathwish Deck Chris Athens Gang Name (8.5)

The Deathwish Deck Chris Athens Gang Name (8.5) throws down a gritty, high-contrast graphic that looks straight off a busted curb in East LA—cracked asphalt texture in matte black with Athens’ name scrawled vertically in bold safety-cone orange. The full-length tag runs nose to tail, framed by a medium kick shape that’s comfortable for quick snaps and catch. At 8.5" x 32" with a 14.5" wheelbase, it’s a sturdy, confidence-boosting platform for bombing San Gabriel River Trail bumps, lock-in boardslides at Garvey, or cruising mellow lines between Old Town Monrovia and Claremont’s curbs. Traditional 7-ply maple keeps it lively and durable, while the assorted top stain gives each deck its own personality.

This is Chris Athens’ pro model, celebrating Deathwish’s newest pro and his raw, fast, everything-counts approach—think wallrides into sketchy landings, nose-bonks where most people would just ollie, and a nose-to-the-ground LA street cadence. Deathwish’s lineage runs deep, born from the Baker Boys family tree with a decade-plus of heavy videos and unmistakable hand-style graphics. That heritage shows here: a simple, aggressive mark that’s all about skating spots the city forgot and turning them into lines.

Specs: Width 8.5", Length 32", Wheelbase 14.5", Traditional 7-ply construction, Assorted top stain.
