....would suck but they turned out to be really good. And vice versa.

I picked up a Street Machine 8.25 today for like $60(AUD), not excpecting it to be all that. I skated it, popped it over a drain and fell in love.

you?

I am yet to skate an unwarped Girl. I might find them decent next time. As for Alien Workshops, well, I got mine thinking it was gonna kick-anus but it didnt even come close to being half decent for me. May have been because it was was too small though. Also I really hated the shape and it chipped easy.

8.25s are what I've been riding for a few decks now, I like it, might go up to 8.5 though

The local shops deck(made with by the same people who produce 5boro) I thought would be meh, but I ended up loving it so much. A deck that kind of disappointed me would probably be the alien workshop that I had.

My first toy machine was soooo good, I didn't see any decks I had before so I said fuck it, ill get a toy machine why not.

Right after I set it up at the shop I skated to a nearby 8 set and kickflipped it within 7 tries if I remember correctly.

I was so stoked on that deck. now toy machines suck.
