I Have had a Libtech for the past couple of months. I have found that they have good pop. It was a nice deck until I noticed that the Grip tape was coming off real easy, and it got pretty hard to skate with only half of my board covered with Griptape. Another problem is that, I don't feel that there is enough concave on the nose, and the tail is allright. (Concavewise)
After A week or two of landing kickflips primo, (accidentally) then falling on my **** I also found that the sides were getting chewed up, and the fiberglass was coming out. That is when I got my first FiberGlass splinter, and it was quite painfull.
This Deck did not have an amazing amount of pop to begin with, and the bottom was rough and did not slide as well as it used to, (although, might I add, the graphic did not wear off)

Overall, I did not really love this deck, although i'm guessing I'm gonna have to skate it till I buy a new deck, which might be in a year, If I'm Lucky. Lucky for me, this should last really long

Post your feedback over here on what you thought of Libtech (assuming that you have skated it before) I am really hoping that this was just a problem with my deck in particular (for some of the problems with it)
cause I would be thrilled to buy another one and have a great experience with it.

yeah, I have actually found a way to make the griptape stay on. Just sand the top of the deck before applying it. That should make it last longer.
It was a bit annoying at first though
