Finally! A deck that ISN'T from Walmart!!

[Airwalk_Skater]

I just got my first "pro" deck this morning, and woah, am I happy with it.

A few minor things that seem to be up with it, but hell, nobody's perfect.

It is much like... I think an Airwalk Series 5. The guitar one.

I love the look and feel of it, considering I haven't properly skated for about a year now...

I gave up. But then got into it again after playing Project 8.

Wish me luck with this new deck!

[emerican56]

I wish you luck with your new deck.

[Skatenjoi]

Have fun

[Airwalk_Skater]

Thanks.

I'm enjoying it. It feels comfortable to ride and glides really well along even slightly rough terrain.

Can't wait to take it down the Skatepark tomorrow, IMO.

have fun

[S_sktr_F]

What brand is it?

[John Kills People]

What brand is it?

Airwalk, the shoe company. I didn't know they even existed anymore.

Good luck with the new board.

[FallingUp]

airwalk? they make decks?

[Lakai.]

Have fun, airwalk isn't a pro deck, but good luck.

[Tardence]

Yeah, where DID you get it from? Toys r us?

[jaredzero]

I remember Airwalk use to be the shit....Airwalk and Vans were the 2 big guys
Airwalk just happened to fall out during the 90s like most of the brands around the 1st succession of skateboarding...
and I talked to a few of the guys that work with and for Airwalk and as of last year they're trying to come back into the scene again. I welcome them honestly

[Tardence]

I remember when airwalk was the shit too, when you either had airwalks or vans or you were a faggot, my first skate shoes were maroon airwalks, later on I had some rowley airwalks that looked like blue and green hiking boots.
But yeah, if airwalk wanted to get back in the scene, making complete setups like the one seen above was definitely not the way to do it.
As far as I'm concerned if you do something like that you suffer the consequences, they are dead as far as real skating is concerned.

[ilovetonyhawk]

airwalk was sick back in the day when they had j-lee on their team

[muffinman_chris]

i see that air walk shit in wal mart all the time haha. The crappy completes that have like plastic over the whole thing wrapped in a box.

[Tardence]

Ahhh, so they do come in a box...

[Airwalk_Skater]

Haha.
No.

They have a cardboard packaging over the rear trucks, and the rest is like.. shrink wrapped.

But they AREN'T "Walmart".

In England, we don't do "Walmart".

We do "Argos".

[BritishBoarder]

Argos is on the same quality level. Where abouts do you live?

[Airwalk_Skater]

Surrey.
Not so close to Maidenhead.

[sk84life67]

Dude airwalks suck...Thats not even a pro board...its good to start out with a walmart deck though...I didnt get a pro deck until I could Ollie really good

[I got 5 on it]

sorry, its neither a pro deck, nor a non walmart board

[Airwalk_Skater]

It's in the middle...?

[Fish n Chips]

No..... It sucks.

[Lakai.]

[Airwalk_Skater]

Aww c'mon, it'll do for now!

The most I can do is like... ollie.

Just about.

I think it'll last until I get better, then I have my eye on a £130 Birdhouse deck.

[Scoffman]

haha this kid sounds like me when I first started...stick with the airwalk for now bud....when Christmas comes around save up all that money and buy your birdhouse

you'll go far kid

[Iskatehard]

Hell man, as long as you are having fun with it, then it's a solid skateboard! Don't fuck with standards and shit like that so much when you first start out. First things first in skating.. Is having fun. That's all it really is.

That being said.. I will say a bit against it, however. Again, if you're having fun, then it's good. But if you're wanting to start developing more usual and modern traditional tricks.. You'll likely want to consider getting a higher quality deck.

I know what board you have, and I've skated them before 'cause some guy I knew had one. They don't really feel like a real "pro board" in the sense it's not as snappy in terms of pop.. It's a little heavier than you would want, not the best grip... And eh, the trucks/wheels/bearings aren't top quality, either.

But don't take that as me saying it's a piece of shit or something.. You can still learn some basic tricks with it, if that's what you're wanting to do.

I'd say focus on shoves and such more, rather than tricks that might require a lot of pop, though.

[Airwalk_Skater]

Thanks!

Brilliant!

[I got 5 on it]

No..... It sucks.
