New Deal Useless Wooden Toy Skateboard Deck | 8.5"
A New Deal reissue done right. The Useless Wooden Toys deck brings back one of skateboarding's most recognisable graphics — the Rocking Horse — in a shape built for modern skating. The 8.5" width sits on a slightly modified mold with a symmetrical nose-to-tail surface, a 7.125" nose and 6.75" tail, and a touch less concave depth than New Deal's narrower shapes. The result is a board that feels planted and confident underfoot — stable enough for transition and larger obstacles, responsive enough for street. Classic double kick, mellow concave, and a stained wood finish with screened artwork that holds up as a display piece just as comfortably as it does a daily rider.
Every plank is hand-crafted by PS Stix in Mexico using seven-ply Canadian maple — the same no-shortcuts construction approach that made New Deal's original run so well regarded. This is a limited edition holiday reissue distributed through select skate shops only, so stock won't last.
For skaters who were there the first time around, and for those who've spent years hunting one down.

About New Deal
New Deal Skateboards was founded in 1990 by Steve Douglas and Andy Howell out of a shared belief that skateboarding deserved better — better graphics, better construction, and a creative vision that pushed past what the industry was doing at the time. Within a few years, New Deal had become one of the most influential brands of the early nineties, with a team and a catalogue that defined an era. Riders like Andy Howell, Steve Berra, Ed Templeton and Chris Pastras gave the brand a creative edge that went beyond skateboarding — the graphics were art, the videos were cinema, and the whole thing felt like it meant something.
The Useless Wooden Toys series sits at the heart of that legacy. Absurdist, funny and instantly iconic, it captured exactly what made New Deal different from everyone else on the shelf. Its return as a limited holiday reissue isn't nostalgia for nostalgia's sake — it's a reminder that the best ideas in skateboarding don't really go away. They just wait for the right moment to come back.
