what are your thoughts on alien workshop decks? my friend recently bought one and i held it for a while and it is light as hell and i became jealous because my toymachine is a tank. he had the rob and big one with the stars. i think after i snap my toy machine imma get an AWS. post your experiences with this deck and note all the bad + good points.

AWS is pretty good
nice shape, nice concave, nice pop
but i had two and one snapped after a month so im using my old one and it doesnt feel right, it feels like its gonna snap soon...

Get an X-band. It will not snap as easily, and thicker plies=more pop. I'm getting one after my current AWS snaps. AWS are by far the best decks I've ever skated. Once you're in the Workshop, you'll never want to leave.

jump as high as you can and follow through
but make sure you have your new deck.(not having a deck is like the great depression)
ive been thinking about getting an AWS too, i got inspired after watching the DC video again

a really high gap will have to do because i don't have any of those things and i kinda want to get the most outta my current board for money reasons (this is my common sense speaking)

Girls are amazing but wear down hella fast, and PlanB flatout sucks. AWS is where it's at.

I've tried PlanB. Pop was soggy, delamination, chips, pressure cracks... yeah. AWS doesn't do any of that.

Pop is about 8/10, I'm saving 9 and 10 ratings for Kayo brands. Pop lasts a few months, even with razortail. They skate amazingly and don't listen to smgs92 he's mildly retarded and severely dishonest.

Either it was a defect, you accidentally stomped the middle landing a trick, or you're... porky.
I stomp the middle by accident with mine sometimes, it just flexes to the ground and snaps right back up. Indestructible flex. INDESTRUCTOFLEX!!!
dylanWHAT??!!?
02-14-2008, 10:34 PM
nah, im not porky, and it broke upward cuz i was doing a boardslide, im pretty sure it was a deffect

Yeah sounds like the plies were glued loosely together somewhere.

or maybe you aren't supposed to stomp your boardslides through the ground?
dylanWHAT??!!?
02-15-2008, 07:24 PM
it wasnt towards the ground it was on this tiny ledge coming off my front porch, i was sliding it on the angle, so if i stomped it which i didnt, it wasnt towards the ground dude
to stomp it purposly the way i broke it would have taken alot, and the knowledge of being ready to self inflict shit eatting, i mean unless ur emo and self inflicted pain is ur thing, idk why anyone would do it haha, it hurt :[
edit: also the shop i bought it from said it had to be a defect and to mail it to them for a replacement deck, i was too lazy and didnt bother mailing it in though
