My friend wants to get a good deck (Not me, I'm happy with my Zero) and is leaning toward an Element board but I think an Almost board is overall better... I haven't skated with either of 'em
Give your opinions on what's better and pros/cons of Almost and Element boards... :)

Element.
They are nicer than you think.
Good pop, nice concave, didn't break easily.
Heck, some guy who weighs like 180 pounds skated it and stomped it for like 4 months and it still felt very solid in the middle.
Too bad he was a tail dragger.

Almost:
My friend Caleb has them.
Small tail, almost no pop, very uncomfortable.
Anyway, hope I helped.

Almost, Element brags about how good there boards are and how light they are but i tried out a fiberlight and they were heavy as fuck and snapped trying to ollie a little 3 set which was my friends board so my zero is the best light good pop but if you had to chosse between the two get almost.. But i highly recommend Zero or Baker

dont get an element they lose pop very fast and are heavy and arent that durable the only element i would go for is the original fiberlight the helium my friend got and it snapped in 1 week so go for the almost or better yet the almost resins i heard they are pretty bad ass

my opinion is that elements are horrible, I skated my friends and I cracked it. tell him to get a baker or a zero they last a really long time
