I bought it though Kickstarter Campaign and tried using it couple of times, but it just doesn’t work with electric skateboard. It’s too heavy and drags the backpack in a weird way so I stopped using it. Anyone want to buy it for normal skateboard? 😉
As for the product itself I like how it’s made, very sturdy, the magnet snap works flawlessly and it comes nicely packaged. Unfortunately, no use for me.

I love it! I own a Boosted board and beeing able to put it on my bag is great. The only down side to this product is that I had to sew one of the straps together. While I was at it I reinforce the other strap. Other than that I realy like it.

42″ Globe longboard
Just standard smallish backpack
Product came in specified time range, nicely packaged with all bits included. First impressions I was very impressed, with the product in hand you can really feel the build quality. The wall mount is a nice addition and can transfer from the backpack mount very easily with simple mounting hardware for a solid wall/wardrobe side etc.
Attachment of the device to a backpack could not be easier and from what I can tell will fit to any backpack with two shoulder straps.
Hooking the board on your backpack whilst wearing it takes a little practise but if easy enough, unhooking can also take some practise but this gave me confidence that it could not be easily unhooked accidentally and works as an anti-theft feature.
My longboard fits securely in the device whilst on my back and was kept in a vertical position with minimal sway while walking. I found that with too little content in my backpack the longboard could swing and hit the back of my leg however this is easily solved by having a bundled up hoodie in the backpack and/or tightening the shoulder straps of my bag.
This is the first kickstarter I have ever backed and I could not be happier, well worth the price especially if you have a longboard like me which is hard to carry in your arms. I am not the tallest bloke and yet the product still worked a treat.

Perfect for any normal longboard or skateboard on any normal backpack. Works amazing as long as your trucks are a standard size and your backpack doesn’t have a metal frame in it (it’s a really specific problem).
At first I thought the twist in the straps was a mistake but I quickly learned it’s to give a smooth grip on your bags straps.
The rubber on the inside of the hooks will prevent damage (who cares about scraping your trucks anyway) but more importantly it provides a good grip.
The Wall Hook is sturdy and sticks our far enough that a normal board won’t touch the wall with its bottom wheels, although any all terrain wheels may, so make sure you keep that in mind or you’re going to leave a mark that’s not easy to clean.
It specifically does not work on my Bobby biz bag due to a 3ish inch hard frame in it that’s too long for the straps on the hook to sit flush with the bag. Or for my evolve GTX because the very large double layer trucks are too fat in the middle so they don’t sink into the hook deep enough to grip well.
All in all, it serves its purposes well. I can carry a second board with me easily when I’m going out to meet friends and then strap it back to the wall when I’m done.

Great piece of equipment, it works in real life for me, on the train, bus, secure. I am glad I bought it. I have attached the hook to the wall and I use it at home as well,

It works really well. My only complaint is that one of the magnets popped off the first time I used it but I was able to find both pieces and easily snap it back together with a pair of pliers. The wall mount is a nice addition if you also need a place to hang your board. I would recommend/buy again.

So a little skeptical at first. Thought it would be awkward but that’s not the case. Very easy to use. It can be used on a sling backpack but tends to slide so its kind of at your own tolerance. My only knock is that it doesn’t work very well with my electric skateboard but I’ve had no issues with any other board.

I always wanted a backpack that carries my board when on the phone or walking up a steep hill but having to spend too much money on a packpack that fell apart, now if that happens I can buy a cheap backpack and keep transfering the deckhook to the new backpack. I own a 42 inch Rayne Vendetta longboard. It weighs around 13+ Lbs. When I hook it onto the deck hook it feels like 3 lbs. had to stretch out the hooks to fit the board the way I wanted it, and it works as well as all the videos DeckHook made. So happy with this. I can walk up a steep hills and talk on the phone with one free hand still left.
Best investment and best invention in decades. A++

I bought the Deck Hook with a little skepticism about its versatility. I can’t say I was proven wrong. My trucks are fairly standard, and I have a 35in board, but I always have trouble hooking the board. My expectations were that you could have your backpack on your back and you would be able to hook it without looking, but I never got that aspect to work. I accepted it. However I still had the same problem when detaching it. The trucks somehow always got stuck when taking it off when I had my backpack on. Oh and one last thing. If you don’t have a lot of stuff in your backpack (voluminous), your bag is going to be dragged down by the weight and you will get wheels touching your clean pants. I am not saying Deck Hook is a bad product, I just wished they hadn’t advertised it as such a perfect product : I feared these things would all happen before purchasing and I saw no where anyone to tell me that. I don’t know how, but I hope that you can solve this in the future.

I love this! Works best when your backpack isn’t too filled up, otherwise your board will stick out at a bit of an angle. One of the magnetic buttons on one of the straps came off, and while at first I was so disappointed that it broke, I quickly found out that the two pieces just screw back into each other so problem solved. Other than that, I really enjoy using this and have had no other problems!

I do use ist with electric skateboards and it works fine. OK… it depends on your and the boards size and the length-set of your backpack straps. It may look cool to have the straps really long… but a longboard may get towed on the ground or hit the backside of your legs (that is really annoying). So just keep the straps short and the backpack high on your back. You do have a backpack on your back… that´s cool enough.

Great piece of kit for standard skateboards.
It DOES work with electric skateboards (Boosted Board or Slick Revolution Skateboard) however is very heavy and your board can slick to the side if you’re not careful. However, I can confirm that it will work with every time of skateboard. With longboards the wheels may bounce on the back of your legs though.
On my first Deck Hook the connector to the straps popped off, so emailed customer service with a photo and they sent out another one FOC, so 5* to the customer service.
More build for standard skateboards, but like I said will work with any type of skateboard, and is cheaper than buying a custom made backpack.

great quality and idea.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t fit an Evolve, which I did not see the warning when I placed the order for TWO =(
Still giving it 5 stars cos it’s superb for an ordinary skateboard.

I think the idea is amazing, but the price is a bit too much, with delivery is almost the price of buying a new backpack prepared for skateboard, if so it looses all the purpose.
Also the wheels are facing you, something not very good because they always dirty.
The version 2 will be the great big thing 🙂

A ideia e muito boa, o material e bom e tudo funciona bem, exceto por uma coisa, as alças, por que a minha mochila e grande encima, entao as alcas sao pequenos para o ganho nao ficar na parte de cima da mochila, deveria ter um jeito de aumentar e diminuir as alças. Entao pra mim o uso nao e confortavel e como eu pensei que seria.

The idea is very good, the material is good and everything works well, except for one thing, the straps, because my backpack is great, so the straps are small so the gain is not on the top of the backpack, should have a way of raising and lowering the handles. So for me the use is not comfortable and as I thought it would be.
