Primitive Deck
7-ply maple · 8.125" x 31.75" · 14" wheelbase
Part of Primitive's 2026 Horror Capsule, pressed from premium North American maple.
Ace Low 03 Trucks
8.0" · low profile · oversized axles · beveled hanger ends · all-black hardware
Ace says the Lows lower your center of gravity for added stability, at the cost of a slightly reduced turning radius. Its industry-first oversized axles and beveled hanger ends are both there for better bearing performance.
SML V-Cut Wheels
52mm · 99A · 33.5mm wide · 21mm road surface · made in the USA
A wide contact patch and conical-cut sidewall give more grip, stability, a smoother ride, and consistent lock-in on grinds, at a lighter weight than a standard wheel.
Independent GP-S Bearings
Metal outer shield · shieldless serviceable back · Super Cage
Micro-polished steel races with oxidation and corrosion protection, water resistance, and extended wear.
The complete ships unassembled.
Who This Complete Is For
- Skaters who want name-brand parts without piecing a setup together
- Riders who want an 8.125" wide board
- Primitive fans who want the Horror Capsule graphic on a premium build
- Skaters ready to step up from a standard complete

FAQ
What's the difference between the Premium and Core complete?
The deck is the same. The Premium complete swaps in Ace Low 03 (8.0") trucks, SML V-Cut wheels, and Independent GP-S bearings. The Core complete uses Core trucks, TGM logo wheels, and Amp ABEC 5 bearings.
Does this complete come assembled?
No. It ships unassembled with all parts included, including griptape, 1" hardware, and 1/8" risers.
What wheels come on this complete?
SML OG 99A V-Cut wheels, 52mm in diameter and 33.5mm wide with a 21mm road surface, made in the USA.
Why are the trucks 8.0" on an 8.125" deck?
There are no 8.125" trucks, so this build uses the closest size down. Trucks a hair narrower than the deck are a normal setup.
