I need a new deck but wasn't for sure which to get, here are some of my criteria: Steep concave, 7.5x31 or something very close, strong, and decent pop.

I'm thinking of getting either a popwar, baker, or habitat. right now i'm leaning towards popwar. but still wasn't sure what model to get. in one post I heard that their drop tech boards where the strongest ever. But in another i heard that the drop of fiberglass in it makes the boards tail weak (which is where i put the most pressure) and to get a regular popwar model.

Heres links to the popwar boards i'm thinking about

I would really like to get the later of the three because of it cheapness and its steep concave. but it is slick drops and once again i heard they sucked and then i heard they were great. But if you think the droptech board would outlast the others then i would buy it instead.

Please post your wise thoughts/comments

I'm going to my local shop tommorow to pick up a helmet. I will check out a chocolate board if they let me.....they aren't very friendly. I've already skated a girl but didn't enjoy it to much.

And yes slick drops do sound awsome but i want to know if they perform awsome.

^^^Yeah i'm ready to order that one. But i'm still not sure how long it will last. I have this 2 1/2 fun box that I jump off of at least 10 times a day when its not raining. And my last popwar wasn't that strong it was the good things team deck (bright green/black/red)

I also haven't totally forgot chocolate. From what i hear they sound really good. but are they strong?
