The Violet Deck Team Balloon Kid Red (8.38) captures a haunting yet playful image—an iconic red-tinted graphic of a child clutching a balloon, eyes obscured by dark sunglasses, creating a design that’s equal parts eerie and stylish. The top comes in a clean gloss black dip with the subtle Violet speech bubble logo, making the deck feel sharp and understated from above, while the bottom graphic does all the storytelling. Measuring 8.38" wide, it’s the sweet spot for versatility—perfect for street skating in tighter spots around Los Angeles County or cruising transitions at local parks. Built from 7-ply hard rock maple, it’s designed to withstand heavy sessions without losing pop. Each deck comes with a “Violet” sticker, giving you an extra nod to the crew.

Violet is the brainchild of Alex Olson, a skater who’s long straddled the line between style, creativity, and raw skateboarding culture. The brand reflects New York’s underground edge but translates seamlessly into the San Gabriel Valley’s eclectic scene, where skaters mix street, DIY spots, and park sessions. Violet decks often feature art-driven graphics that step outside traditional skate visuals, making them feel more like limited pieces of culture than just hardware.

Stix SGV has proudly served the San Gabriel Valley skateboarding community since the late ‘90s. With three locations across Los Angeles County, we’ve been deeply rooted in the local scene. Our Monrovia shop has been a staple since 1997, followed by our Claremont location in 2014, and our South Pasadena shop opening its doors in 2022. Our mission has always been simple: to uphold skateboarding culture and stay true to our community.
