Hi there i have been looking around this forum for a while now and love the community and i have now registered here. :banana:

My recent deck inwhich is a blueprint, paul shier 7.75 papier menage. i hate it, the concave is not for me i find it rather flat.
My previous deck was a shop deck from bristol 50/50 and i liked that concave i think it was pretty deep as i could feep the dipping off it all.

does anyone have knowledge on certain decks inwhich have a fairly deep concave so ican flip it aswel ias i use to, im stuggling with this new deck and is has delan after the first weak from merely kickflipping a kicker ramp, it is very dissapointing and also my fault for the delan but i dont like this concave,

Does girl have a fairly deep concave?

im looking at this one at the moment asi have wanted a girl deck for a while now and love thsidesign and i like mike mo capaldi.

The deck is
Mike Mo Capaldi Quinceanera Skateboard Deck 7.75
I do not have 10 posts to post a link yet i am sorry.

So does this deck or other girl decks have a fairly deep or deep concave,

and what other decks do,

thankyou for your time and i am excited to get some replies. :001_wub:

yeah i really liek girl decks

the only flaw is, that it seems to raizor tail a little bit quick. but if you dont do manuals often or shit, then it cant be bad
i need a new board basically every month nowadays, so it doesnt effect me
enjoy!

girls have extremely mellow concave, if you want steep concave i suggest baker or darkstar. but i just got a girl today, brian anderson 8.0, and i love it

girls suck, i ksated a chocolate and its the same wood and molds and shit. Mediocre pop, broke in 2 weeks, and pressurecracked like shit. Concave is far from deep. If you want nice deep concave and a good deck i suggest, krooked, DGK or anything from Kayo (exp 1, organika), zoo york or creature, all of those have good pop and last a while as well as having medium-steep concave.

nah chocolate aren't near the same. their would be no point in having a sister company with the same shapes. they are smaller and flatter... but i like girl and chocolate both!

dont get a deck just because you like the graphic or a team member get a deck because its good and what u want in a deck and unless you want a almost flat deck with a tiny ass tail giant nose and shit pop go ahead and get a girl but i reccomend a black label or something along the lines of a zoo york or something since you want a medium to steep concave and zoo york seems to fit what you want very well

Zoo York offers steep concaves, and the blank I had had medium concave. But I'd suggest getting a low concave board like a Toy Machine, Girl sucks.

no offence but its really obvious that you want a girl just because its popular and that mike mo capaldi is on girl, consitering him and chris cole are the most main stream skaters right now.get what you want, if you want steep concave, dont get girl. how old are you?

Everyone's right don't get girl cause it breaks easily. Get a board that's durable even if the design sucks or whatever.

Yeah never get a board just for its design.
Habitat and Toy Machine are great boards though, so get them, and they're designs are really simple and not meant to look "cool".

No. get a board that you will like riding.

if you like riding girl then get one. i'd rather ride a good board for 2 weeks then a piece of shit for 2 months.

because they have years and years of practice and alot of tallent, and they can get a new deck whenever they want, i suspect that most of them go through multiple decks a day durring filming sessions because the deck loses that crisp feel. Pro's can skate any deck, look at the plan B team, the team is sick but their decks suck. Us on the other hand cannot afford a new deck whenever it loses its crisp feel, so i would rather have a deck that keeps its pop and lasts a while.

i can afford to buy a new deck whenever i want... girls are not as bad as you make them sound. i've broken one in my life, ever, on a flat ground tre...and ive had maybe ten girl decks... it was just an unlucky deck...you cant assume that they all suck if you break one...

That deck? I have the Alex Olson one and its pretty good. But dont get a deck just cause you like the skater I mean it should be part of your decision but not the WHOLE decision.

Yer exactly. Ive got a vid on iTunes with Koston in it and he says he goes thru a board evry 3 days on average. Girls are good while they last. My previous board was a girl and its lost its pop, razortailed and pressure cracked after a month, but for that first month it was great.
Get a board because you like it, not because its the "in" thing right now or because its got a pretty picture that you like on it. The graphic gets scraped of anyway..

you missed the entire point of my post. the point of my post was that you cant judge the product by the team because pro's are good enough to be able to skate anything, and durability isn't a factor for them because they can get a new board whenever they feel like. Dont buy a board based on the team because the quality of the product is in zero way related to the team.

thankyou very much everyone for sharing your knowldge on girl decks and helping me with good information. it is clear now i will not ge ta girl deck and it was stupid of me to be led by attraction to a team and the members being good and thinking the deck should be good, but i learnt from my mistakes there and now i know :) :-L thanks all :D

zoo yorks concaves fit with what i am asking for, medium concave prefferably. i will go take a look at some now


no offence but its really obvious that you want a girl just because its popular and that mike mo capaldi is on girl, consitering him and chris cole are the most main stream skaters right now.get what you want, if you want steep concave, dont get girl. how old are you?

none taken, and i am 15. ive only bee nskatign a year and 2 months, i have had only 5 decks and my current is a blueprint i got for chrsitmas, ididnt want a blueprint but the shops distributor went bankrupt because of the credit runch so this local skateshop called the project had oto close down and couldnt order anything in so i picked one that was there in the shop, so now there isnt any decent skateshop in my town so i have to ge tthe train to poole skateshop and check it out if i want first hand looks.
