Alright, so I'm bored and I'm deciding to make a review on all my decks this and last year
Zero Chris Cole SOTY: http://www.fishside.com/images/decks/cole-zero-soty.jpg
Pop: Ok, this deck had pretty great pop from when I bought it to about 3 weeks in. It started to lose it a little after that, but still was alright. Razor-tail was not really a big issue, either.
8/10
Durability: Yeah, it lasted me about a two and a half months, and that's pretty damn good. But it did get some pressure cracks, but nonetheless was amazing in durability. No chipping at all either.
9/10
Concave: Great. Just the right steepness. Not too high, not too mellow.
9/10
Overall: 9.5/10, just because the graphic is awesome.

Pop: I really thought it would be the same as my Zero, but no. From the moment I bought it, it had this odd water-logged feeling and was really odd for high tricks.
5/10
Durability: It cracked a few times, but I'm not sure because it got hit by a car.
6/10
Concave: Really, really mellow. Almost flat. I mean, I love mellow concave, but that was way too far. Came out of shape fast, too.
4/10
5/10
Element Fiberlight: http://www.essiinc.com/skateboard/images/elsection2.jpg
Pop: Surprisingly, pretty good. Pretty light and got great height. Didn't wear down that fast at all and no razortail.
8/10
Durability: Chips like hell and cracks fast. Not that much else to say.
3/10
Concave: STEEP! Oh my god, you got so much flick off of it it was crazy. Way too steep and kept that steep shape too well.
6/10
5.5/10
Consolidated JUB: http://www.360skate.com/prod_images_small/1DCONJUBPI77500.gif
Pop: Holy fuck! The best pop ever! You get so much pop out of this deck, it won't be even close to gone until it breaks. So much height, no razortail at all, etc. God damn!
10/10
Durability: It has one pressure crack in it and one chip, and I've been ropeboarding with it out side for 8 months and skating it for 3. Such a great board. It's a damn tank and is still light.
10/10
Concave: Just right. Exactly perfect. Not steep, not mellow, just awesome.
10/10
10/10 BUY THIS BOARD!!!
Pop-Lite blank: http://i2.ebayimg.com/05/i/06/91/69/34_1.JPG
Durability: Ahahaha, this part is a joke. The thing cracked in a day and was chipping in a week. I actually had to stop skating it because I was afraid of it breaking. Crap.
1/10
Pop: Amazing while it lasted (Which was like a day). Razor-tailed within 3 days and had a water-logged feel in a week.
4/10
Concave: A little bit steep for my taste, but that's your preference.
5/10
4/10. I'm not going to tell you not to buy these, though. If you have little cash and need a board, go for it. It's well worth it. Otherwise,on't waste your money.
Zero Static:
No review, I urge you not to buy these boards. My friend has the same one and apparently there was a problem in the factory and the lamination comes apart easily. Luckily, the shop guy let me trade it.

Durability: Don't break, they stay up on that half of he deal, but they chip and pressure crack like crazy.
6/10
Pop: Was good for two weeks. Now is pretty much gone. Razortail BAD!
5/10
Concave: Perfect. Just right for me. A little bit mellow.
10/10
Yeah, so critique.
