Darkstar has emerged as one of the leading U.S. skateboard makers, due in no small part to their commitment to improving their deck designs and constructions with each passing year.
This is the new "Paul Machnau Crimson" Complete Set:
Resin-7 / 7-ply epoxy constuction:
Epoxy is more agressive than the normal water-based glue, which is the industry standard. Since epoxy is so strong, less of its used yielding a considerably lighter, better deck that is stiffer and keeps its pop longer than normal decks.
 The CORE Trucks (Generation II) that come with the deck are lightweight and allow plenty of clearance for grinds. CORE builds quality trucks, the kind every skater can trust. Nice, classic shape, but also very robust.
The leading edge allows for fat grinds without exposing the kingpin, while the bushings (imported from theU.S.) are smooth and responsive, provide awesome turning, and great memory.
The ABEC 5 bearings are super-smooth and speed-oiled. Fast enough for pipe and street skating, but not too sensitive on landings. Really tough.
Finally, to round off the set, you get a set of matching 52mm USA-made urethane wheels, good for street and park skating.
