Okay so to start off for those that have never heard of Krown.Krown is a company that makes blank and graphic decks.They don't have pro decks,just blanks that come in either black, royal blue , green ,lime-green ,orange , pink, red-orange ,pink-purple ,purple ,red ,white ,silver, or yellow.All of their blanks are full dipped with the exception of the dyed blanks.Their graphic decks are not pro decks.All of their decks come in three sizes 7 1/2'', 7 3/4'', and 8''.They have dealers in all 50 states along with South America, Canada, and Japan.Now for the review.....
The shape:On the blanks is really good.It's pretty much a medium-mellow concave with a smaller tail and a bigger nose.The shape on the decks doesn't disappear like said companies Plan B and Baker(from my experience).
The durability:Ehh,these decks get an ''Okay'' on the durability scale.They do chip after a couple of weeks,so you have to know how to take care of em'.As far as snapping goes though,the only way that you're going to snap one of these decks is if you focus it or land completely wrong coming off of at least a 10 set.These decks have pretty good durability to say the least.
The pop:Now the pop is the only ''slight'' negative I could find.You'll get great pop from these decks but every once in a while you'll come across the decks that have more pop on the nose than on the tail.They also don't give off very good pop if you like your trucks loose,(I had to tighten my trucks a little when I got my first Krown.)
Overall:The Decks made by Krown are pretty good,a 7 out of 10 in my opinion.I forgot to mention that Krown skateboards are made of 100% Canadian maple.The company also makes trucks,wheels,bearings,hardware, griptape and a load of other things.
