I have a target board and a darkstar armor light. I skate the same on both of them. The only difference is the bearings are much slower on the target board. Theyre 15 bucks and practicly the same quaility.

Because they are flat, they have no concave. And no pop. Also they break in like 3 days.

Pop is from your legs, concave is really just a gimmick in all skateboards, and really not needed. And they are made out of wood. The same material as your black label.

there really isnt that much of a difference for a beginer but, if you start skating larger stair sets or get higher tricks the trucks and deck will snap.

Mine can handle a 4 stair, never tried anything larger. its stiff as a bitch. But i also land almost perfectly on the bolts. I'm sure it would break if i landed in the middle.

i cant really back this up but im pretty sure that the harder the board is the more pop you get. somthing about the less shock the board absorbs. the reason they are cheaper is because its made from cheap wood that is weak and is softer. concaves arent a gimmick, not nessisary but not a gimmick it makes the board alot easier to flip espicially on tricks like tre flips.

do you skate it often on sets and how long have you been skating?
because i had to make myself start buying pro trucks because i always snaped them on ollies.

My friend had a k-mart board. After i was riding around on it for a while, i went to try to ollie but felt something was wrong, i looked underneath the deck and one of the trucks had broken.
Most k-mart/target boards have no concave, and will snap before you know it.

Accually pop can be from your board. Because I skate 2 boards, mine and my friends. Mine has more "pop" because I have better ollies on it, also i get higher. With his board my ollies suck ass end of story with that. And concave isn't a gimmick because you can be comfertable with a certain concave and then you ride a walmart and it just doesn't feel right at all. And my black label broke like 3 months ago(just stating a fact).

Concave,a gimmick?Concave is a key part of a skateboard.It can help you to learn tricks,and make it easier on tricks you already know.Nice try,but your posts aren't even thought out,just because you can't afford a decent deck,dosen't mean your bratz board is of the same quality.
