Do you guys know any good strong ass decks that I should get. I snapped my Alien Workshop today which I found really odd because my last AWS deck I got through without it snapping. But this was an X Band one so I guess it was not worth getting the special X Band deck.. So far I've heard a couple good things about.

Darkstar Armor Lights
Enjoi

I don't know I may just go back to a normal old AWS deck. Or Habitat. HELP! Posi Rep if you give some good information.:banana:

Enjois snap fast. But you probably got a bad AWS because them and Habitats are pretty strong, I would get them or the Darkstar Armour Light. I haven't had a Darkstar but I've heard good things too.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards a normal AWS or Armor Light. I'm pretty much stuck in that decision.

ive had two almost. one snapped the first day i did stairs with it. second day i had it.

ollied a 6 to warm up. snapped. i landed maybe an inch off the bolts? no deck has done that, i didnt even land that bad.

sent it back and said it was their fault. got another almost. had it for about a week, and hadent done any stairs with it.

i was skateing to a spot and kickflipped on the way there, just flatground.

snaped the tail off, yeah i landed bad, but flatground? and i didnt seven stomp it.

I've heard Zeros are good. I recommend not getting a World industry or Popwar though. My brother's popwar snapped off a ledge 1 to 1 and a half feet, and he didn't even land badly. And my friend's World Industry snapped when I did a varial flip off a slightly bigger ledge than the one mentioned before. Weirdly, I landed with one foot on the ground, the board was in primo, and my back foot hit the truck, yet it snapped in the middle.

AWS are good boards, i guess you just got unlucky buying that X band. Enjois are good decks but aren't very durable. If it doens't break right away it'll chip pretty badly. My friend has an Armor light and loves it, he's had it for like 3 months and hasn't broken it yet. But he always manages stuff to last him a long time. If i were you i'd go with the darkstar or just keep to good ole AWS.

that sucks man i really wouldnt suggest those boards though ive had experiences with all of those besides the dark star and theyre all horrible. truely though the only board that havent snapped on me would be

5boros
krookeds
habitats
listen
stereo
and a couple others
but i can guarantee that yo would be happy if you bought any of the boards i listed they dont break easily they have awesome shape and there a hell of a lot cheaper then any baker
