A Foundation Deck Built With Toy Machine's P2 Construction
The Foundation x JGB x Templeton Push Skateboard Deck 8.25" is a collaboration piece from Toy Machine, and it is built with the brand's P2 construction, giving it an edge over a standard pressed deck. If you have been searching for a Foundation 8.25 deck or comparing Toy Machine decks before you buy, this is a deck engineered for skaters who push their gear hard.
What Makes the P2 Construction Different
- Oval-shaped Aramid fiber reinforcement panel built into the top ply layer
- Reinforcement adds extra strength where a deck typically flexes and cracks first
- Spring-loaded pop from the reinforced layup, designed for serious skaters
Aramid fiber is the same family of material used in high-performance reinforcement applications, and Toy Machine places it strategically on the top ply rather than throughout the whole deck, which is what gives this construction its combination of added strength and lively pop.
Who This Deck Is For
This 8.25" deck suits skaters who want a deck that holds up to daily street and park skating without losing pop over time. Because the reinforcement targets deck durability directly, it is a good match for anyone who has snapped decks before from ordinary 7-ply construction, or who skates frequently enough that deck life matters as much as feel.
Setting Up and Caring for Your Deck
Like any skateboard deck, this one should be mounted with standard hardware and grip tape sized to the deck's width, and paired with trucks sized to match an 8.25" deck for correct wheelbase and turning response. Keep the deck dry when not in use and avoid leaving it in direct sun or a hot car, since heat and moisture are what break down the wood plies and glue lines fastest over time, reinforcement or not.
