Well I’m really bored so I’m going to make a guide for the best decks and Posting the Pros and cons of each deck. This is a general idea of what to get you don’t need to start a huge argument over this.
Decks
Alien Workshop The History behind Alien Workshop is they started in Dayton, Ohio in the fall of 1990 so they know what they’re doing they've been around for 17 years and got their boards right.
Pros: These boards have amazing pop and a decent durability. A very basic deck 7 plies traditional but has something special about them that just makes them better. Their company doesn't just stick to one shape all their boards have different concave and shapes depending on the model you buy.
Cons: Not many but a little bit heavy but doesn't matter much still really good and durable deck.

Black Label Another really good board company not many disappoints with them either.
Pros Great pop that lasts until it starts to razor tail. Very durable deck lasted 2 and a halve months and only 2 chips that weren't that big. Average concave and shape nothing special here but nothing bad either. Traditional 7 ply except their blacklight models.
Cons Again a more heavy deck so a little bit harder to flip but still nice.

Enjoi Really good brand not my favorite but I like them a lot.
Pros Great pop for the first month and halve. Not the greatest durability chipped a few times. Really nice concave and shape I liked it a lot. A little bit above average could have been better but not the greatest.
Cons A lot more heavy then traditional decks. Made some tricks a little bit more difficult to flick and not the greatest durability.

Foundation I loved my Foundation absolutely loved it. Probably the best out of the seven decks I’m going to list now.
Pros A little bit about average pop that doesn’t go away which surprised me I skated mine for 3 months and it razor tailed like any normal board but not a lot so it kept its pop. Nice mellow concave and the shape was great to skate with. Only Chipped once which really surprised me a lot.
Cons None at all. Very good deck.

Habitat Nice board probably second on my list of good boards
Pros Very mellow shape and medium sized nose and tails which I liked a lot and made tricks fairly easy. Doesn’t barely razor tail as long as you don’t slid on it. Really light and had really nice pop which lasts.
Cons Snapped in a month. Only disappointing part in this board

Popwar Very nice when you first get the board it slides real nice and even after skating it for a while. Very different graphic designs too.
Pros Pretty shallow concave and mellow shape but a little bit bigger nose which takes getting used to but I liked it a lot. Only one chip in the whole board totally surprising me. Didn’t lose its shape and didn’t razor tail that much. Nice pop that last for about a month then starts to diminish.
Cons Got a big pressure crack which I expect every board does but this one was huge

If you Want to add anything PM me about it and I’ll add it in. I’ll probably extend this soon so it has about 10 different boards.
