Ive got way too much spare time on my hands. Anyway heres my take on the new girl deck i got..

Its a Girl Rick Howard Tattoo board 7.875
Shape/Flip: Its got a pretty weird shape because of the nose being huge and the tail being tiny. Its a pretty mellow deck concave wise but because of the tail being smaller than the nose you kinda have to swap the two around and since you do that it feels crap riding it around the other way. The flip was good though. After about 10 attempts at a varial kickflip i got my first one which was pretty cool after being hopeless at them.

Pop: Here is where i was a bit disapointed. I rode my mate girl a day before getting mine and i was so hyped on getting so i get go skating and i was just like "oh, well that sucks." I mean it was good but not anything great like you hear about on other threads.

Durability: Not great either. I mean it hasnt chipped yet its got a fair few dints and cuts from ledges and stuff. Also it razortailed in about a months which kinda sucked. And because of that razortail and a failed full cab attempt i am now paying for a new window, Yay.

Graphic: No doubt about it that Girl makes some of the best graphics in the business so this was the best part of the deck.
It had a massive girl and a heap of random tattoos inside it and Girl Skateboards and Howard in scroll writing. Definitely the best part of the board.

Ratings
Shape/Flip:7/10
Pop: 6/10
Durability: 6.5/10
Graphic: 9/10
Overall: 7/10

If you like this stuff go grab girl but i dont think that there all that great. it might just be that board, who knows? So go experiment and skate for fun not fame!:-)

praise the board

how the fuck did you break a window on a full cab? and shape and concave and stuff like that is all personal pref so you shouldn't rate them. and when your done with it try a focus test to see how prone is is to snapping.

ok, so ive been skating harder for a few days now and ive completely changed my mind about the negative shit i said, except for it being a bit weak but thats ok. I absolutely love it now except for the twist in the wood which sucks but thats just how the stored it at the shop!
