Traffic Skateboards Adler The Streets Skateboard Deck Review


Back when I worked at a skateboard shop in Seattle, we put up wallpaper of all skateboarding pages. It was something to do when we were bored. One of the things that I remember is that proliferation of advertisement for Traffic skateboards. Traffic skateboards has a simple team of boarders, and they are quite good, building their team around a crew of skaters that were down for the cause, and just throwing down hammers on each video part. This time around, the line up for Traffic is simple yet again, and the graphics reflect the core standards that you would expect from the brand. This board from Traffic skateboards is the Traffic Skateboards Adler The Streets Skateboard Deck. This is a solid multiple ply skateboard deck with a cool graphic and an inside joke. If you get it, then you get it, if you don’t, well too bad. Traffic skateboards isn’t going to explain it all to you, and neither am I, suckers.

The Size and The Shape

The size and the shape of this board from Traffic skateboards is on the larger end. I’ve noticed that a lot more street skateboarders are going with a higher sized solution. That being the case, you’ll see that this deck is 8.6 x 32, and it’s right up my alley. This is a solid skateboard deck with good concave, and simple pop. It’s standard, popsicle style, and will most likely give you a sweet ride whether cruising or street boarding. I for one love the size and shape on this one from Traffic skateboards.

The Look and The Appeal

The graphic design that you get with the Traffic skateboards is simple, someone’s getting kidnapped. It reminds me of the movie “Old School”, where a white van comes through and kidnaps all of the pledges. That scene came with the tunes of Metallica’s “Master of Puppets”, if you remember that one. Either way, you’re getting the same thing, and the moniker from Traffic skateboards is that The Streets Will Eat You Alive! This is an Adler pro skateboard deck, and of course it has the Traffic skateboards logo in a simplistic yellow font on blue background. Simply put, the look is cartoon style, but the subject matter is a little tongue and cheek, but it’s core at the base graphic design that you would expect from modern skateboard design.

Overall Rating For The Traffic skateboards Adler The Streets Skateboard Deck

Every time I write a review, I seem to think I’m going to cave in and start talking about ratings that are within the star ranking. Then I decide, nope, not gonna do it. In this case, this skateboard from Traffic skateboards is solid, it’s good, it has everything that you would want from the skateboarding world. You will get through the streets, you’ll get through vert, and you’ll love the way that Traffic once again puts together art and craft into their work. Traffic skateboards is a good overall brand, and this is a good overall board.
