Darkstar Johnson New Abnormal 8.12" Skateboard Deck - Key Questions Answered
What kind of rider is this 8.12" deck best for?
It’s a solid choice for street and park skaters who want more stability than an 8.0 without stepping into a wide, sluggish feel. The 8.12" shape gives you room to land cleanly while still flipping well.
Is this a good option if I’m moving up from a narrower board?
Yes, especially if your current deck feels a little cramped on landings or manuals. The extra width gives a more secure stance, which many riders notice right away on ledges, ramps, and rougher spots.
How does the ride feel compared with a wider street deck?
It feels more responsive and easier to pop than a wider setup, while still staying stable enough for regular park use. That makes it a good middle ground if you want control without losing flip speed.
What should I expect from the 7-ply maple construction?
Expect a classic skate feel with dependable pop and predictable flex. 7-ply maple is the standard many riders trust for daily sessions because it balances response and durability well.
Would this work as a gift for a skater who already knows their size?
Yes, the 8.12" width is a safe, versatile pick for a lot of skaters. It’s a practical choice if you know they ride street or park and prefer a board that feels balanced, not extreme.

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.

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.
