Toy Machine Deck Jeremy Leabres Diamond (8.5) strips things down into a darker, more aggressive graphic direction that fits Jeremy Leabres’ skating perfectly. The bottom graphic centers around Toy Machine’s iconic demon-style character reworked into a sharp monochrome composition, printed in stark white against a deep black background. Above the graphic sits the classic hand-drawn Toy Machine logo, while Jeremy Leabres’ name appears below in gothic-style lettering that gives the deck a cold, heavy feel without overcomplicating the design. The entire layout feels raw and understated — less cartoon chaos, more straight-up skate weapon. The matching black top veneer keeps the aesthetic clean with a smaller centered version of the logo graphic printed near the middle of the deck.
The simplicity of the graphic works especially well considering Jeremy Leabres’ approach to skating. Born in Los Angeles and raised in Corona, California, Leabres built his reputation through raw power, technical precision, and an almost ridiculous level of toughness. Despite multiple knee surgeries and major injuries throughout his career, he’s continued dropping some of Toy Machine’s heaviest video parts, handling rough handrails, crusty spots, and difficult terrain with a calmness that makes everything look controlled. His skating has always carried that rugged Southern California street energy that feels equally at home in blown-out industrial zones, rough schoolyards, and hidden curb spots scattered across the SGV.
Founded by Ed Templeton in 1993, Toy Machine remains one of skateboarding’s most respected independent companies, blending weird art direction, heavy street skating, and a true DIY mindset that’s stayed consistent for decades. Templeton’s influence as both a professional skateboarder and artist helped create an identity for Toy Machine that still feels authentic today — weird, gritty, creative, and fully rooted in skate culture instead of trends.
At 8.50” x 31.88”, the Toy Machine Deck Jeremy Leabres Diamond (8.5) sits in that perfect middle ground between technical responsiveness and full-size stability. The 14.25” wheelbase keeps the board quick underfoot while still providing enough control for bigger terrain, rails, transition, and rough street skating. The shape feels especially solid for skaters who want one setup capable of handling a little bit of everything — whether that’s fast sessions through Pasadena banks, rough alley lines near El Monte, or heavier stair and rail skating around the San Gabriel Valley.
The deck ships with assorted random color top plys, making each setup slightly unique while maintaining the same clean black-and-white graphic aesthetic underneath. Combined with Toy Machine’s long-standing reputation for quality wood and dependable shapes, this board feels timeless in the best way possible.
