Tracker Dart 161mm Sixtrack Carbon Graphite Baseplate

The Tracker SixTrack debuted in 1979 and was the Number 1 choice of Pro Skaters worldwide.
During the late 70's, Tracker co-founder Gary Dodds prototyped a nylon baseplate that was actually lighter than the Magnesium bases. Since aerial maneuvers were coming on to the scene lightness was the key. However, skaters that rode their trucks tight found that there was flex in the base.

Gary and Larry then redesigned the nylon baseplate in the mid 80's and the new stiffer Ultralite Base was born. As skating progressed, a few skaters still found some flex in the New Vydynyte material.

By the late 80's Tracker's R & D found the perfect Carbon Graphite Composite material. Stiff, Ultralite and Strong as Hell. Larry has dug into his historic collection and released a limited amount of these Duralite Carbon Graphite Bases.
There trucks are 75 grams lighter than the original Tracker SixTrack.

Pool King Michael Stefaun Reform School Skateboard Deck 8.88" W 33.5" L 15.5" WB

Width: 8.88"
Length: 33.5"
Wheelbase: 15.5"
Tail: 6.75"
Nose: 6.75"
Medium Concave

5 ply maple, 2 ply Polymer Composite. Pressed in San Diego, California USA.

Michael Stefaun's roots are in street skating. Therefore, it's only natural that his pool shape closely resembles the traditional, double-end, twin tip shape that so many street decks incorporate. As well as being somewhat of an "untraditional" pool shape, Michael's Pool King deck is constructed using polymer composites and 5 plys of hard rock maple veneers. These composite decks are generally 8 ounces lighter than standard 7 ply wood decks of the same size and shape and seem to retain their "pop" or stiffness for a longer time as well.
