Since its summer and I dont have a job im gonna be ordering 3 blank decks from blankdecks.com. I've only ordered there once and it was a California blank, I liked it. Im wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what 3 blanks I should get? I might just go and get 3 california blanks but they have a pretty big selection, there must be something better there. The house special looks decent but im not sure? halp

I've skated their sturdy mold deck. It Had plenty of pop and held up pretty well. Also, the moose blanks that you can buy off ebay are ridiculously cheap and are quite good too. Not as good as the sturdy mold though.

House special and Pro Factory are pretty good too.

yeah i think the pro factory is just a shuvit deck, cause ive noticed that if a deck comes with free stickers, the stickers that u get usually are for the board u get. i remember awhile ago u got girl stickers with teh mellow concave and for the monster steep u would get like almost or enjoi stickers, and with the atm logos, u get atm stickers, and for the regular mold u get toy machine stickers, just something that ive noticed, so i think that all the blankdeck molds are actually molded after different companies decks, that would be sick if it was true

i skated house special, and they have like no concave at all. they are good if u want a flat board, but they dont really have much pop either.

If youve skated toy machine and liked it, you will like the sturdy mold. They have like almost exact same shape. Nice pop and lasted a while. Just as good as any pro deck if you ask me. The only thing that bothers me is nose and tail arn't symmetrical. Hope this helps.

sturdy mold, monster steep concave, california blank = set for summer

blankdecks.com are the only decks I buy I'm on my 8th one


3 sturdy molds -last a long ass time, mine had pressure cracks all over and it lasted for another week, solid pop, shallow concave, remined me of an aws

1 blank that got pop- great pop for a week then it sucked, lasted a month

2 california blanks - above average deck, pretty solid kept its shape, pop went away pretty slow

1 monster steep concave - above medum concave, same pop as sturdy mold just did not last as long

right now I am rolling a canadian blank from what I feel so far its like a california blank, just feels a little different, I think it might be the griptape, I used mob for my california blanks, now I'm using jessup
