My brothers board, but I've ridden it a lot.
Graphic:
Well, it's like many Element BAM Boards. It's got BAM written in big gold letters and a black backdrop. The nose has the Element symbol in gold as well. The tail has Element Skate Projects and the word Limited Edition on it, but it isn't anything to special.
Construction:
All seven of the plys are from what I am pretty sure that cheap Chinese maple. This stuff is crap, it is very weak, and chips easily. Making the wood weaker than distributors such as Black Box and DNA. The reason for it being weaker is it is grown twice as fast in warm weather, as opposed to the Canadian Maple which is grown slowly in cold climate.
Durability:
When I first started riding this board I expected a better ride then it was. I mean sure it's a BAM board but still. So, this board will not last you more then 2 possibly 3 months depending on your skill level. They are a weak board and many other brands are stronger and better. The word chips way to easy and feels like it has only 4 plys in it.
Weight:
This board is extremely heavy and sounds like it's water logged even though it isn't. There are many lighter boards out there then this one.
Shape and Pop:
It depends on preference really, but I hate it's shape and pop. The concave isn't deep which makes it mellow which I am not a fan of. The board comes in many sizes but thats the only thing that changes on the board. The pop is shitty also. Like I said it sounds like a water logged board but it isn't. The pop is dead or dull sounding and when you drop it upside down it barley pops up. So if you like pop get another deck.
Extra Technologies:
This deck has nothing extra on it which is good because the older Element decks are a little better.
I will try to upload pictures later on.
*Miniman's/Bobbyganoosh's format cause it is fucking great*
