So you're from the UK...

[tongo]

If you do, what brand?

Mine's a Blueprint

[scottishskater]

I ride shop decks (UK brand) when ive got no money (cause they are £10 and shit hot), otherwise i would always ride Heroin. Best UK brand there is, in my opinion, with probably the best skate team (I mean this in their style and uniqueness of tricks..there is no denying that Blueprint has one of the craziest teams around)

[jamesoshea]

heroin are brilliant

seen the god and satan pro models? genius.

[miniman]

Kinda obv answer to ur question dude if your posting in the uk section... and i just ride routeone blanks, no deck comes close to the quality of them well thats my opinoin.

[Slapdown]

I ride German import blanks for £12 a pop.

[Cosmo]

Im prefer the shape and feel of dwindle decks, plus blanks look weak

[superminds]

UK sucks... amerika rocks!

[nickredding]

i have an enjoi now but i had a blueprint before that it was nice

[superminds]

I have a rasa libre...but i come from AMERIKAAA

[bugmann]

i had a landscape deck, a through out excelent deck but broke kickflipping a two set. but thats my fault, not the decks. ive had blueprint 'belong' deck, and that was an amzing deck, lasted me longest ive had. i had a union deck hoever that was super weak and old not even too sure if they are british. and now its down to a route one blank. i bought one because i knew they were made in the same factory as blueprint decks were. and dang did it turn out good. it is an excellent deck, still riding it now. one of the best decks ive had, and only 25 pounds

[superminds]

i just want to anounce i made post 100 in this UK forum

[gimp]

Speed Demons

[DomPy]

I like most stuff, Blueprints are reallt crap for me, they always lose their stiffness in about 2 weeks, I like Icon decks and Heroin are pretty good too.

My deck at the moment is a shop blank

[fudgefudge]

currently i am riding a chocolate but today i bought a neil smith blueprint so my next deck will be blueprint

[Cyclone]

I have an Icon deck. Tis pretty good.

[paulster]

yeah i usually have a blueprint or karma decks
fuck american boards they have enough support

[eric fat cat]

never ridden a british board, just enjoi and blanks, but blanks are so weak

[flip1607]

i got a flip.american decks > uk decks =DDD

[miniman]

^^ sry but no, uk blanks own flip decks anyday.

[tongo]

Just bought another Blueprint deck, the black/red sprayheart one, looks totally sick!

[scottishskater]

^^ sry but no, uk blanks own flip decks anyday.

Yeah, most British boards ive ridden have been way better than most American decks. I get blanks for £10, and they are stronger and feel better to ride than most £60 american decks.

[brenz-brenz]

I fucking love blueprint decks, I've had about 5 or so.

Fuck route one, support your local scene and buy from skater owned shops.

[miniman]

^^ my routeone is skater owned and is powering my local scene ie arranging comps,keeping the scene alive etc etc.

[blunt fakie]

Yeah I have a Blueprint, the next deck I want is I can't remember right now but its Amir skater name and it's got Brighton Pier on the deck. It's possible it's Heroin but I'm not sure.

[fudgefudge]

I fucking love blueprint decks, I've had about 5 or so.

wish i could but i have no skater owned shops at all near where i live
closest one is maybe 30 miles

[blueprint73]

Fuck route one, support your local scene and buy from skater owned shops.

i almost always support my local shop but today for the first time i bought a landscape deck from them. i almost feel guilty. and wtf is up with there super strong grip

[VeRt_StreeT=SkatEr]

Loui Jones from heroin is actually a great mate of mine and you've probably never heard of luis phillips but i skate with him aswell, amazing skaters both of them.

[crescent_4]

extreme got some old trucks and wheels off my old board which cost 20 quid so they need replacing

[_Enjoi_]

shops own brand

[dutber]

Ive got a death deck..woot.

[fudgefudge]

i got a flip.american decks > uk decks =DDD

flip originated in the uk under a different name, then went overseas and changed there name, so flip is a uk deck and you proved yourself wrong

[<insert name here>]

I ride shops own(uk) but used to have a karma.

Yay, i made the poll go dead even!

lol

[Burnt Toast]

[Crooked]

Ive got a Route 1 blank at the moment, but i bought it off a mate so technically it was skater owned, had a Karma before that, it was ace but sadly it snapped :'(

[sirRockalot]

I ride a rollersnakes.

mee too foo'

[toasted concrete]

i have a rukos deck im only off a boarderco and before that i riding an unabomber deck, ther are all irish and brilliant

[BritishBoarder]

Landscape Toby Shaull pro model. I got it from vapourised and they only had 1. The graphic is really cool, its a drawing of a cartoony landscape.

[miniman]

Route one blanks and dont you start saying omg you buy routeone all they care about is money and dont support the local scene, well if it wasnt for our routeone there wouldnt be a local scene.

[Charlie_Major]

I ride German import blanks for £12 a pop.
Skateshop24 bitch. Thanks for showing me that sight. Im a loyal customer. Venture superlights for half price because they cocked up my order. P-O-W.

Is that site reliable because there amazingly cheap and im just wondering if its too good to be true.

[matt55]

Getting a new Blueprint deck before the end of this month. One of the "Dark Days In December" ones. The red one probably.

[dutber]

much tho i hate to admit it i hav a route one deck...my deck previous to that one was a death deck tho

[miniman]

much tho i hate to admit it i hav a route one deck...my deck previous to that one was a death deck tho

Why do you hate to admit it, im sick of people hating on route one. Route one blanks are all i ride there sturdy and strong as. Ok your argument could be they steal money and dont support the scene well tbh if it wasnt for my routeone there wouldnt be a local scene.

yeah fair enough mate..i have to say they do last quite a while and are quite nice to ride so i guess u hav a point

[Tehgiggles]

Wtf?
Whats wrong with route one?

[matt55]

Route One & Rollersnakes may not support local scenes but they do atleast support British companies such as Blueprint and Landscape

[sk8 the marathon]

I got a blueprint. Love it.

[shakedown1979]

blueprints boards are really good, but theyre a bit pricy in our skate shop. i bought a boarderco though and it felt pretty nice, theyre an irish skate company. i would buy a heroin board but our shop dosnt stock them, live from antartica was such a good video.

[blueprintskater]

blue print and death before that and gettin another death tday u.s decks have enough support]

[Jarra-lad 2k7]

Death ftw

[jeff64]

what's better than a nude board for the time it lasts
lol

besides go check out the label park website i like what they are doin
see ya

[gimp]

Are they durable? I might get one next as a cheep deck,

at the mo i have a Death deck, so yeah i do ride UK.

[Cosmo]

My next deck is gonna be a landscape

[dutber]

i have always found route one decks to be really durable. they last a lot longer than my death deck did anyway.

[miniman]

Loads of people are like nah man fuck route one supporting sos (skater owned skateshops) is the way to go, probably true but route one decks (they dont make blanks anymore due to all this blanks are bad controversey) have skated better personally to me then all the pro decks ive had.

The cheaper option whch are fracture decks are pretty good, im skateing a fracture dollar bill which supposedly fracture donate money to indoor skateparks for every deck sold, its a pretty good board had it a fair while, nice shape, good pop. Wouldnt really reccomend there other products such as trucks or wheels though there bearings are good and there clothes are of good quality too.

yeah, id probably prefer to buy from sos, but they are generally a lot more expensive than route one, and when route one has a 75% sale on there isnt really any competition to be honest. and yeah, fracture trucks are pretty, and i dont really like the boards either, but my fracture bearings have been really good and thy're cheap.

[miniman]

Haha i guess im being a bit biast as ive only ever had two pro boards, a krooked deck and popwar. Both were good dont get me wrong but i dunno, i guess its the price that puts me off.

Id rather skate a brand that i know is fairly decent and a good price, then shed out for a brand that i havnt had any experience with and find its not that great. Meh ill probs buy a reccomended pro board one day.

[gimp]

Yeah, i dont buy US brand decks really ive only even bought an anti hero, and i didn't like that, all my other decks have been blanks, death and blueprint. Actually i might get a herion,

Are size 8 decks any good?
Ive only skate 7.75's and i want to go bigger for some reason, but i still want to be able to do my tricks as good as before,
are 8's harder for tricks?

[Cosmo]

Anyone riden any cliche decks?


^^^I find 8" so uncomfortable to ride

[miniman]

The last deck i had was an 8'' but the deck i have now is a 7.75. Honestly cant tell the difference ,depends on what size your feet are i guess.

[dutber]

the deck i hav now is an 8', but the one i had before that was a 7.4. felt sooo wierd going from a deck that small to one that was that big

[gimp]

[ABC ledgeman]

I am riding a shop board from Casinoskates in Leicester. I love Blueprint boards, they can take a beating and I have not had one go soft yet.

[dannyscene]

A third foot decks made in me home town and shizzle man best decks

[rewindDUDE]

the fracture dollar bill decks are pretty good and for a small price too

[Slapdown]

I got my deck from skateshop24, which I believe is German based, distributing Canadian Maple. However, it's cheap, and I spent too long paying out the ass for a crappy Blueprint that only lasted a month.

[Carva]

[cobhctim]

I'm from the UK (Petersfeild,Hampshire) But now I live in the US as of a few years ago. I was wondering where the best place to buy british boards is around the NYC/ tri state area (wanna support a local shop and my country). Thanks

[Andyroo]

i ride plain b enuff or chocolate lol

[Haggaz]

i got mine from skateshop, tho apparently they r made with same wood as blueprints. so i guess i got a cheap blueprint ;)

[Old Timer]

Blueprint or Motive.

[SkaterKid663]

i ride a fracture i got it for christmas i don't really like it though i'm gettin a blank deck next time need to save money

[Kickflip Co.]

We have just opened up an online skate shop ( Kickflip Co. ) :-D and we have got quite a few UK skate brands on the go.

Our best sellers seem to be the Herion decks and the death boards seem fairly popular too. We also stock the new Enuff logo decks which are really cheap and since they changed the way they manufacture them, they are a hell of a lot better. Can't go wrong with these especially for anyone who is a beginner!

[skaterbrit]

i have a death deck at the moment which has been pretty good but hands down the best deck ive ever had was a thirdfoot..

[DontHateJustSkate]

Not at the moment, but my best deck so far was an Enuff.


I've been told that blueprint's are bad though.

YouTube - blinky ollie silky grass gap deck snap (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm_jr9-6X8A)


Huge gap I know, but it's been landed on a used Speed Demons deck, and these were a brand new Blueprint.

My enuff deck was a pile of shit

[skaterbrit]

i snapped my death today. :(..so i'm skating an old thirdfoot till i can afford a new one..which will probably be a landscape or heroin..

[skaterbrit]

Instead of skating my old thrid foot i skated an old blueprint and it snapped today...so i will probably get a harmony or maybe palace skate board..

[skaterbrit]

i actually ended up getting a heroin board...but i think my next board will be a palace...

[Vampire_Prince]

blueprint and an enuff, best deck ive had so far is an almost deck, although the blueprint and enuff were secondhand... --
