Here is my deck guide,
( I will add more decks as soon as I try them.)
Enjoi:
I have to admit, their decks concave is very good. But it snaps rather easily, as well as chipping. I've also heard of it feeling waterlogged after awhile, but the rumor has never been confirmed.
5/10
Habitat:
Had one of these. It has great pop, concave, and graphics, but it broke too easily for my liking. Still a very good choice when it comes to buying a board.
7/10
Zero:
Zero decks are seriously well built, tough and responsive, with strong graphics and extras like the super slick bottom surface that's perfect for slides. You really can't go wrong with a Zero skateboard deck
Well made - Zero has been making decks for a long time, and knows how to do it right
Slick coated bottom - better for slides
9/10
Toy Machine:
These decks are strong and solid, with a great amount of response and pop. Plus their decks are made from 7-plys of rock hard maple wood. The plys are kiln-dried at high temperature, which reduces de-lamination and helps the glue to stick even better, (which prevents chipping.) all in all these are great decks, and well worth their money.
9.5/10
Mystery:
Mystery decks are strong, flexible and just like zero decks they have a slick bottom.
7/10
Minilogo:
MiniLogo Complete Skateboards are high quality decks and parts marked down in price for their lack of graphics. Most skateboards cost the prices they do partly because of the quality of the board, wheels, trucks and hardware, and partly because of which pro's name and graphics are printed on the board or wheels.
9/10
Flip:
The BEST pop in the begining but it fades so quickly it isn't funny. They are very very heavy but last a long time. I would not get another one, but if you are a beginner I reccomend it.
6/10
Blind: Don't bother buying their decks, don't get me wrong, they are beasts when it comes to their strength, but they are heavy, and have very little concave.
3/10
Baker:This is a great board, awesome concave, awesome pop, dont snap easily, in other words Baker decks are the best choice you can make for buying a board. 10/10.
plan b: great concave, great pop at first, wear down quickly though, they also can break easy, but ot that easily. u know? like, its not gonna break on grinds or anything but if u land in the middle down a 5 stair it will, unlike bakers 7.9/10
activemailorder blank(white): realy good price, not very good concave, its in the middle, realy nice pop at first, wears down slowly, chips pretty easy, doesnt break easy either 9/10
world industries: suck, chip easy , break easy, gay graphics, wear down fdast, automaticaly come with there grip tape wich is hard as crap to take off and also last about one ollie 3/10
blankdecks.com california blank: great, great pop, great concave, dont chip easily , slide realy good fro blanks, dont have as much of a "crayon affect" as most do, wear out fast at first, but then after about 3 plys they stop wearing down realy nice only problme is theyget pressure cracks easily so im assuming they might break easy so 9.5/10
walmart boards: walmart usualy makes top of the line things, but htis is an exeption, they suck, i tried to take one off of a 6 set as a joke, and guess what... it broke, the wheels cracked, the trucks broke, the trucks came through the board, and the bearings broke and balls flew everywere 0.00001/10 (id rther have this than nothing though) -thanks to imlee888 for adding to this
