A deck guide.

[krux]

Ok, Im bored as hell, browsing through these forums and this deck forum gave me an idea to make one of these deck guides. My shoe guide in the shoe forum was succesful and this deck thread will have the same point as the shoe guide. Instead of 1000000 topics about how one type of board is, find out here. People, please participate by posting decks that you have owned and how the shape was, durability, bla bla bla bla...


Toy Machine- I remember my toy machine chipped really easy, but thats because I just started skating and i didnt take care of my board or any thing.

Alien Workshop- Same as above. I remember that it was really durable though, 3 months (didnt do anything)

Element fiberlight- Yeah, elements are actually good boards. You bam haters are faggots. This board had really good shape and it was a pretty good board overall.

Blank- I chipped the fuck out of it and i ended up stomping it.

Flip- Eh... hated it. Bad shape, chipped soooo easily, I got pissed and stomped it.

INC- Great board, one of the best I have ever had. Great pop, shape, and really durable. I still have it actually, but i wont skate it again since its waterlogged and chipped and dented and has no grip tape.

Zero- I loved my zero, it had pretty good shape and the "pop" lasted awhile too. The tail snapped though. Sad day.

Girl- I loved it. Not alot of concave, but decent pop and I learned soo much shit on it. I was getting pissed one day because I couldnt land ***** and I played some kid in skate and messed up on something gay like a shuvit and stomped it.

Baker- Good pop, good shape, overall good board. Forgot how I broke it.

Skatepark of Tampa- One of the BEST boards out there. They have one of my favorite shapes, very durable, and long lasting "pop"

Real- Same as above

Zoo York- Good shape and pop, snapped it on a nosegrab shuv up a launch ramp.

Foundation Pop Top- Gimmick board. Wasnt good at all, felt like a normal board with shitty shape. Broke it in 2 weeks, wasnt durable as everyone says it is.

DGK- Damn, I miss this board. One of my favorites. Good shape and pop and all of that good stuff. I recommend these.

Rasa Libre- I liked this board alot, very good shape and it lasted along time.

Black Label- My all time favorite boards. Everything is perfect.

Shortys- Pretty good board. Nice shape, pretty durable too.




I am pretty sure this is it. I dont remember all of the boards I have had. Remember kiddies, the board doesnt make you skate better, its just personal preference. So, if you like little concave, refer to my " decent shape or not that good shape" sayings. If you like concave, refer to my " Good shape, or best shape" or something like this. Ok, I have wasted some time before I go to the skate park, now post some reviews bitches.

[bandikid]

Chocolate - Great concave, didin't chip but lost it's pop after like 2 months

Baker - All around great board, one of my favorites. Decent concave, but good, long-lasting pop and a good shape/good feel to it

Enjoi - Weird shape, lost pop, didn't really like it. used it's trucks and wheels for my ATM

ATM- not blanks, but they are only 30 bucks. Great concave, pop is good not great.. use it when it's wet and stuff like that

I'm thinking about a Krooked next. Anybody ever had one? I know 2 kids who have that really liked them

Deck guides are bullshit. Everybody skates differently so how can you judge it.

[DoctorVolcom]

Toy Machine- By far my worst deck.Pop wasn't nothing special,Flip was decent,Concave was ok.It pressure cracked way too easy.Chipped easy too.I ended up stomping it because it sucked.

Popwar (Drop Tech)- My Favorite boards.Great pop,Great flip,SUPER strong,Good concave.Didn't chip easy or anything.

Flip- Also one of my Favorites.They last long,Good flip,Good concave,Good pop and Barley chip.

Girl- These rock.Great Pop,Flip,Concave but they Chip and pressure crack easy.

[the_unknown_soldier]

element: at first seem like a nice board, but they don't last long at all.
zero: i LOVE the feel of these boards. also nice concave.
popwar: just like zero, good concave and feeling.

[TheLostChild]

Blank Mini-Logo: Good shape, Good pop, Very light, super duriable. and its pretty hard to snap... except for wen i got mad and blasted my foot through the middle of it.

[etnieswannabe12]

u dont say whether which decks are light or not.. nooblett o.O

[mikkeypuf]

Element- I didnt like it that much, it was pretty light, not the lightest, but i didnt like hwo wide it was, or he shape.

Almost- Possibly my favorite yet, is till have it, and it has very nice pop, and is really light

Flip- it had the best pop out of any the first day, but it wore out in no time at al and i broke it super fast

Girl- i dunno, i dont like it, others do

[TheLostChild]

u dont say whether which decks are light or not.. nooblett o.O
nooblett? NOOBLETT? r u so fucking retarded that all u can say is "nooblett?". wow u r pathetic arent you? go ahead and keep skating ur elements big boy.

Durability-Element
Weight- Almost, Fiberlight
Lasting Pop- Baker

Like i said baker do have good everything but i for one hate the feel and that much concave. Element regular seem to last really long but have mediocre everything else. So if your looking for a good long lasting pro deck elelment. Fiberlights seem to have decreased weight and upped pop but the durability has been cut a lot. they snap easier and chip easier. Darkstar have good concave and are a good overall deck. I would have given it better durability if it didint chip so easy. It didint want to break at all though. It took me so many tries to finally stomp that SOB. Almost have average everything except weight. I dunno how they made em this light but still pretty strong. The lightest deck i think there is. Chocolate..is my favorite deck IMO. The pop is very good and the concave is perfect. The worst downflaw is that they dont last for shit..well at least the one i got didnt. it chipped so badly it wasnt even funny. Well im not saying it will be the same for you but as for me thats what it was

[Sk8noob]

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but bakers have a really mellow concave, element is one of the most flimsy decks and darkstar and almost are exactly the same

[Flare12345neo]

dude whut bout blind?they rock

blind: i still have it
element: sucked ass the paint started 2 chip off
blank: ok i guess,but dont go get one unless your broke

The paint chipped? That doesn't matter.

[RoYaLnINjA5]

wtf you shouldn't be reviewing which brand, because different brands make different types of boards. i.e i have had 2 AWS and they felt totally different. this is why the whole deck forum is pointless. you should state the brand and the name/model of the board you got. That's the only way of knowing the pop/concave/lightness/durability. In the end decks are personal preference, so unless people state whether it has steep concave or mellow concave. big pop or small pop. Ignore their review. For a good reference go to shoes and look up krux shoes guide. notice how they are done by model. decks should be reviewed like that.

[subculture]

DNA-it was ok,kinda heavy and kind of based on the 1990-1992 time of skating,not old school board,as in like when new school boards came out first,a concave that's ok.don't like the deck overall

bullet - good at first,decent pop,not much concave and snapped it on olleing a 10 set





ZERO chris cole shallow grave - AWESOME
- GOOD POP,GOOD CONCAVE,GOOD FLICK,NICE FEEL

still using it...the pwnage!




i had a those cheap-ass skateboards u buy from stores when i first strated skating....and i'm using the risers from those decks for my current setup

[Sora1421]

the baker i rode did not have shallow concave at all. It was a 7.65 yellow danger baker and it had way more than my darkstar. People get over it the companies of wood are the kind but the company still gives them the mold. I wish people would udnerstand same company decks are close but all in all differnt decks.
