Darkstar Skateboards Review

Darkstar Skateboards

With the height of popularity in the early 2000’s, Darkstar is a skateboard brand owned and operated by Dwindle Distribution. I heard a lot of bad things about Darkstar skateboards, so I wanted to give them a try. From what I can understand, the reason that Darkstar gets a bad rep is because they have boards sold in Walmart, however those boards are a different make than one you would buy from a skate shop or online retailer.

Testing A Darkstar Skateboard Deck

After seeing a sale online, I picked up a Darkstar deck for just under $40 and skated & reviewed it in my most recent Youtube video here. Here are my thoughts after 2 sessions:

• Overall it skates quite well and seems very durable

• The Darkstar skateboard deck I’m riding is super light

• Board has great pop - ollies felt amazing

• The deck is super flat and has almost no concave but that did not have a negative impact on my skating

• The nose on this Darkstar deck is super steep, making it harder to initiate noseslides, nose manuals, and nollies, however the steep nose makes your ollies level out very clean.

Overall I give this deck an 8/10.
