Opera Slither 8.5" Slick Skateboard Deck - Key Questions Answered

What kind of rider is this 8.5" deck best for?

It suits street, park, and transition riders who want a stable 8.5" platform without going too wide. The shape makes sense if you want confidence on landings and still need quick board control.

How does the slick bottom change the way it skates?

The slick bottom is made to reduce drag on slides, so ledges and rails feel smoother and more predictable. That can help you carry speed through tricks instead of having the board grab.

Is this a good choice if I'm newer to park skating?

Yes, if you want extra stability while you build confidence in turns, airs, and landings. The 8.5" width gives a more planted feel than narrower decks without feeling bulky.

What should I expect compared with a standard deck?

Expect less friction on slide-heavy tricks and a more consistent feel when locking into rails or ledges. If your current setup feels sticky, this is a practical step up.

Would this fit a rider who wants one deck for street and park?

Yes, it works well as a versatile middle ground for both. You get enough width for control in park riding, while the slick base supports the faster, more technical moves common in street sessions.

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.

review of Punked Old School Longboard Complete -Route 66 Series - The Run

Steven B. Verified

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.
