Baker Funkhouser Faster 8.5" Skateboard Deck - Key Questions Answered
Is this 8.5" shape a good choice for park and street skating?
Yes, it is built for riders who want a stable platform without giving up quick flips. The 8.5" width works well for ledges, park lines, and transition when you want more control underfoot.
What should a first-time buyer expect from the ride feel?
Expect a steady, predictable feel with familiar maple pop. The wider stance gives more confidence on landings, which can make learning tricks feel less twitchy.
How does this compare with a narrower deck?
Compared with a narrower shape, this one feels more planted at speed and on landings. It still stays responsive enough for kickflips and street sessions.
Would this work well for a skater who wants one deck for different sessions?
Yes, it is a strong all-around option for street, park, and transition. The 8.5" size gives room to move while staying versatile for everyday skating.
Is this a good gift choice for someone upgrading their setup?
Yes, especially for a teen or progressing skater who wants a proven pro model shape. Baker’s 7-ply maple construction and 8.5" width make it an easy confidence-building upgrade.

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.

I am loving this board so far! I reached out to LBUSA to get some help finding the right board for me. 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.
