Baker Allen Big Brain 8.5" Skateboard Deck - Key Questions Answered
What is the Baker Allen Big Brain 8.5 best suited for?
This 7-ply maple pro model suits street skating, technical tricks, grinds, ramps, and skatepark sessions. Its 8.5-inch platform gives versatile control across these riding styles.
Is this a good choice for a beginner skateboarder?
Yes, the 8.5-inch width provides extra standing room and stability while developing balance and board control. It also suits intermediate and experienced riders who prefer a wider platform.
How does the 8.5-inch width affect the skateboard’s feel?
The wider platform feels stable and controlled for rails, ledges, transitions, and landings. Compared with an 8.25-inch deck, it may feel slightly less quick during technical flip rotations.
What should I expect from the 7-ply maple construction?
The 7-ply maple build balances strength, responsive pop, and dependable control. That makes it a practical choice for practicing ollies, flip tricks, grinds, and ramps.
Would this work for someone choosing between an 8.5 and 8.25-inch deck?
Choose the 8.5-inch Baker Allen Big Brain for more standing room and stability. An 8.25-inch option may suit riders prioritizing quicker technical rotation over a wider platform.

Skater since 1974, pool pipe and skatepark, I've ridden it all but these Carver C7 trucks were a revelation. Best for slow speed styling and generally hanging some art on mellow terrain.
Definitely a kick and worth trying.

They were more than helpful and the process of getting help, ordering the board, and then delivery was flawless. I am excited with my purchase and am thrilled with the customer service along the way. Top notch!

Well built and super fun to skate on. Wheels work well on imperfect pavement and sidewalk cracks. Bearings are legit.

Kiddo got this board for Christmas, for us to ride on Route 66. Board is good quality. No name trucks, but they function well for her. She likes the Punked Speed Series wheels. We did put reds super bearings in it. The factory bearings do not roll near as well. For the price, for a complete, it is well worth it. This is our second Punked Longboard, and both have served their purpose. I would buy from this company, and Vendor again, without question.

Trippy assym setup with Rogue ZM1's and assorted wheels really rips for downhill! I also hope to run cones with it soon.
