I just realized that one of my Girl decks lasted me 3 months so maybe their not so bad as everyone makes them out to be. I might give another one a try after my Real wears out.

wow someone actually isnt hating on girl! i honestly love girl boards, great shape pop and feel, and people say girl boards chip, that doesnt make any sense if ur chipping ur board on flat u most be horrible at skating but if ur skating like a 7 stair if u kick out the board might land on the nose.
but 3 months that seems really long i only skate my boards 1 1/2 month tops
Fallen.
07-20-2009, 03:07 PM
word. Cause Ive never had a board last me three months.
I love girl boards so much. Ive skated girls for two years.
I go through about a deck a month if im lucky.
Im skating a real board now and its not too bad. Pretty stiff which is good, but definitely not as great as all the dlx hype brings it up to be.
Yeah, all the DLX hype is pretty annoying. I need to get another girl; I loved all the ones I had.
I got 5 on it

Theyre pretty good decks, but the only bad thing about them from the girl decks that I have had, is that they chip very easily. Other than that I think they are sick decks.

Only the Mike Mo shape is good. All the others are shit.
SkateTilldaDeath
07-20-2009, 03:58 PM
The last Girl deck I had was a Mike Mo, and it had a weird shape. The concave near the nose was medium, while the concave near the tail was almost flat. I thought it was kind of weird when I first got it but I got used to it so it was fine. I dont think Ive ever had a deck shape like that before.

carrol's have a really pointy tail and wide nose. that's the one i had.
edit: i don't remember how long it lasted me. but i'm curious to try one again. but.... i want to order like 5 or 10 blanks from maybe blankdecks.com or pop lite blanks to see if they are good. then i can save money instead of paying $50 or $60 every 2 months for a new deck.

girls are good but the reason why i dont like them as much is because the tail is so much smaller than the nose so it feels kinda akward for me.

Girl boards... they're ok.
But after a few weeks, mine lost its rigidity and got flexible. Probably just a fluke. Maybe I'll try a chocolate next time and hope for the best.

hahahaha almost everyone on this forum is all up on dlx. DLX DLX OMG THEYRE SOO AMAZING.
Im skating a real board right now, and I really dont see that much of a difference besides the akward shape the board has to it. They definitely are not worth the hype they have.
In no way am I saying they are bad decks, but they aren't anything special either.
Girl boards are really good. This is my opinion. After riding them for two years, Ive come to that conclusion. They last me about a month if im lucky which is fine for me. I skate everyday for a long amount of time each day. And im not just skating flatground like a lot of people on this site. Because, I really dont see how a board can last you such a long time if you're skating it constantly everyday.
Also, something that really aggrivates me is when people say " they're good but they chip easily"
Seriously, For the almost four years I have been skating, I can honestly say that I have chipped one or two boards if that, in the past two years.
I do not understand how your board can chip so much/easily. I skate everyday like I said, and a lot more than flatground. My boards never chip unless I get mad at myself and throw them. I just don't understand how everyone chips their decks. It doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah, that was before I started riding DLX, just look at the date, I think girl makes really good decks, but they dont compare to DLX. I remember when Fully Flared came out eveyrone loved Girl. SBC is all about trends. I remember when I started posting the trend was eS Accels and Popwar decks.

I agree DLX makes great decks. I just wan't to try Girl again because I realized how great it was. The only reason I started hating Girl was because I snapped my second Girl deck in a month out of anger. While my first Girl deck lasted me 3 months and still had pop. I'm skating a Real right now and it's nothing short of amazing, I just wan't to get a Girl deck again to try it out.
ALSO if they we're crap after 2 weeks why say their the best brand out there?

Thats the thing, Ive had 2 girls and a chocolate and they are really amazing boards, but after 2 or 3 weeks they lose their stiffness.
I think in a couple of months everyone will be on another brands dick. Ill stick to DLX, thats what Ive been riding for the past year, except for this time that i got a Black Label, and Im going back to DLX again
fuck i remember the es accel hype ahahahaha.
popwar was sick though
I remember that there also was a Baker hype for quite a while

SBC is all about trends. I remember when I started posting the trend was eS Accels and Popwar decks.haha that is true. I remember when we went thru a Krooked phase, habitat, mystery, then back to DLX. I don't respect when people just respond to a thread according to a trend (without even trying the deck), but I do respect when someone has honestly ridden a board and can give their recommendations.
All decks are good, a deck is a deck, but for DLX i just like the shape and feel better than others.

Maybe you don't land bolts often. Breaking a deck on a two set is ridiculous Girl decks may not be better than DLX decks but their still good.

true, girl decks are really good decks, but from my experience DLX decks are way better. Yet again personal experience is what make you stick to companies in the first place. This is what skateboarding is all about sticking with the company you support. So please if you hated Girl decks thats fine. Hate on them. But support a company, that will make you ride their decks forever.

I get pretty annoyed with the people who bash Girl because they are ignorant. People only hate on them because they are too busy sucking DLX's dick. Guess what? I like Girls a lot and they skate great, durability isn't really even a problem. Guess what? I have had several DLX's and all of them disappointed me greatly.
