Ive got one of the first PSC decks sitting on my shelf from like 5 years ago. Ive tried a mates new PSC board and it was pretty good. They're going under a new name and management soon so i'll wait till the new shop decks come out.

Nah, but I don't watch out for big skate companies like Element, I will never ride an Element ever since I got a push. Probably the worst board to excist.

My local shop's deck is from kayo.
I haven't tried it out yet, but it's still like, 40 or 45 dollars compared to 55 for a krooked. I think I'm gonna stick with krooked.

When my local shop was still in business I'd buy them. Now all I have is Zumiez. I don't know what kind of wood they used but they were really good boards.

and they destroy skateboarding, buy shop decks if you want a cheap fix, at least your supporting your local scene. (i have bought 2 blanks, one was a pop lite to try blanks out, and the second was because i only had 20 dollars and there were 3 skate jams that week so i couldnt wait)


i dont skate my shop decks but i skate a local company that gets their wood from zoo york, i love their decks all i buy now.

fucking try it, kayo is the shit, right up there with krooked, easily worth it to get for 10 bucks less.

i usually ride the local company's boards, knock on wood. They use consolidated's wood since my local shop is real tight with them. ironically enough i always put a nike SB sticker or two on the deck haha. i know most the guys on the team and the shop owner so i get em discounted. they're like 35 bucks and i can get em for like 25 everyonce in a while, most the time its 30. The owners brother is pretty tight with the consolidated guys and i always rock nike SB or adidas and he wears DON"T DO IT!! shirts everyday, he doesn't like me too much

Yeees. I don't know what kind of wood they use but it feels
a lot like an Enjoi shape wise but a little more sturdy
and the nose and tail are bigger/more symmetrical than most decks.
