Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Division White Skateboard Deck Review

2016 has been a pretty good year for skateboard decks. Toy Machine skateboards has put out some awesome decks, and this is a great example of what they are doing right now. The Toy Machine Toy Division White Skateboard Deck is the second in their series of this type. The other one is black, and looks a lot more like the original idea that comes from the band Joy Division. If you’re a fan of Joy Division, then you are immediately going to love this deck, as it features graphics that focus on that amazing album.

Size and Shape


The overall size and shape of this deck from Toy Machine is 8.125" x 31.875". That’s a good size for those that are riding bigger boards. It’s not the biggest, not the smallest, but it works. My shoe size is 12, and I have been riding 8 and higher since 2012. I used to only ride 7.75 as I’ve stated before, but lately, I find that these larger options are just as good in terms of overall trick advantage. If you’re going to be diving off of large platforms, and hitting rails, then this will definitely help you get the job done, with a little more surface area to work with.

Graphic Style


The graphic style, as mentioned above, is that of a Joy Division tribute. As you will see from this Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Division White Skateboard Deck and the black version of this deck, they have a distinct 1980s feel. The graphics have that Templeton icon in them, and well, it says “know pleasure” on it. Not a bad graphic, but definitely one that was meant for the fans of Joy Division.

Overall Board Feel


When testing the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Division White Skateboard Deck, I noticed that it was the same overall shape that you’d expect from the blood sucking Toy Machine. The shape hasn’t changed since the 1990s in my view. That’s a good thing, as it is overall a strong deck, that feels nice under your feet. I enjoyed the split test that I did on it, flipping, no-comply, and ollies all worked just the same as you’d expect.

Bottom Line on The Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 Toy Division White Skateboard Deck




So here we go, what’s the overall bottom line? Well, the Toy Machine Skateboards 2016 line up all have their ups and downs, but you can at least know that the company is going to put out a quality deck. This is a good skateboard, but doesn’t have anything extreme in terms of tech. It’s a solid board, in the shape that you’d expect from Toy Machine. It’s a pro level solution with graphics and feel that comes right out of the 1980s music and 1990s street skate scene. I like it.
