The take
“Fast, precise, explosive, absolutely unapologetic. This board rides exactly like Marcus Kleveland looks on video.”
The Team Pro MK is what happens when you take the Nitro Team and remove every compromise that made it friendly. Same Powerlite core, same Directional Twin shape, same True Camber — but add Diamond Band carbon reinforcement and the fastest base in Nitro's lineup, then crank the flex from 7 to 8. The result is a board that doesn't wait for you.
The Diamond Band carbon runs tip-to-tail and adds meaningful stiffness and snap without making the board feel dead. When you load into a turn or wind up for an ollie, the energy return is noticeably more explosive than the standard Team. The Speed Formula HD base is Nitro's top-tier sintered compound — higher wax absorption, more abrasion resistance, and measurably faster than the EcoSpeed HD on the Team.
Where the Team is forgiving and balanced, the MK is demanding and rewarding. It carves with real authority on hardpack — the combination of stiff camber and carbon means you can lay into turns at speed without the board washing out or chattering. But that same stiffness means it doesn't butter easily, it doesn't forgive sloppy technique, and it doesn't let you cruise at low speeds comfortably.
This is Marcus Kleveland's board. He's arguably the most technically gifted freestyle rider on the planet. If you're not riding at a high level, the standard Team will make you happier. If you are, this board will make you better.
