Pure Camber Pop Meets Raw Freestyle Muscle. Built to Beat Down the Spot.

Stripped down to the essentials of park, street, and resort riding, the Metal Machine delivers explosive ollie snap, heavy-landing stability, and high-speed edge drive. Featuring artwork by Greyson Fletcher and constructed with Arbor’s premium Highland II Core, it’s a high-energy "popsiclestick" deck built to lap the park all day and charge hard across the whole mountain.
Milosport Shop Take
"Call it a classic twin, call it a popsicle stick—just don't call it soft. The Arbor Metal Machine is built for riders who want traditional camber pop and raw, unadulterated snap off jump takeoffs. If your daily routine involves hitting the big jump line at Brighton, street spots around SLC, or carving high-speed laps down hardpack, this deck goes hard.
What makes the Metal Machine stand out in Arbor's lineup is its stripped-back, high-performance approach. It features a pure traditional camber profile paired with their Highland II Core, giving you exceptional stability on deep landings and smooth edge transitions. Plus, with a high-grade Sintered Base and Mixed Glassing, it stays fast, holds a line through morning chatter, and stands up to daily sessioning. If you love traditional camber drive and bad-attitude freestyle riding, this is your deck."
