Darkstar Felix News Silver 7.875" Skateboard - Key Questions Answered
What kind of skating is this deck best for?
It’s best for street skating and park sessions, especially if you want a board that feels quick on flip tricks but still steady on ledges and ramps. The 7.875" size sits in a versatile middle ground.
Is a 7.875" deck a good choice for a beginner?
Yes, if the goal is learning street basics with a board that feels easy to control. It gives a familiar stance for ollies, kickflips, and shuvs without feeling overly wide or bulky.
How does the 7-ply maple construction affect the ride?
7-ply maple gives it a classic, reliable feel with good pop and solid durability. That means predictable response under your feet, which helps when you’re repeating tricks and want consistent takeoff.
What should I expect from the feel of this shape?
Expect a pop-forward concave that helps your feet lock in and find leverage more easily. It feels responsive for technical skating while still giving enough control for ramp and park use.
How does this compare to a wider deck?
Compared with a wider board, this one will feel lighter and easier to flick, with less bulk underfoot. If you want a more agile setup for street tricks, this size is usually the easier pick.

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

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.

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

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!

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.
