Almost Skateboards just came out with new technology. This new concept consists of two disks underneath both trucks that the top ply contains strips of a carbon fiber material encased in urethane. This process takes the harsh vibrations from landing high drops, large sets, or a constant of flip tricks and spread the pressure throughout the deck. This technology definitely does work. This new series has it all, gnarly graphics, sick tech, and a 30 day guarantees.
This 7.62 Creation Series deck is 100% made in the USA, and set me back USD$45.99 with USD$5 shipping from San Francisco based www.Cultureskate.com, very legit website with very fast shipping, I got it within 2 days of ordering (standard shipping), came with a bunch of coupons for future purchases, stickers, a catalogue, and free hardware matching the deck's colour. (Upfuls green hardware).
Cultureskate.com also stocks Yellow Brand Skateboards, Creation Skateboards, Satori Movement Wheels, Upful hardware and clothing. And they have excellent customer service also.
Shape/Concave/Feel: When I first got this deck I noticed the deck had about medium concave, which I really liked. and it wasn't hard to get used to the deck either, even though it was a little smaller than last one, (This deck comes in more than one size, the only difference is that the color of the deck will be different). The nose and tail weren't too much different, pretty much like a lot of deck, nose is slightly bigger. And this deck felt in between stiff and flimsy, which I liked. I would give this an 8/10.
Deathwish is a new company that most may not know about, so Im writing this to inform people on how they skate.
OKAY, Deathwish, as some of you may or may not know by now, is a new deck company by the baker boys distribution. It is the “sister” company of Baker (just as Chocolate is to Girl, etc.). The Deathwish pro team currently consists of:
• Antwuan Dixon
• Lizard King
• Erik Ellington
• Jim Greco
• Brian “Slash” Hansen and Ramiro “Furby” Salcedo are currently on the Am team
This deck features resin-8 contruction, and was supposed to be an 8-ply deck with the weight of a 7-ply deck.
Team: Daewon Song, Rodney Mullen, Chris Haslam, Torey Pudwill, Greg Lutzka, Cooper Wilt, Lewis Marnell
Pros:
-Long lasting pop
-Didn't flatten out quickly
-Overall Good Durability
Cons:
- Not a lot of pop
- On the heavy side, but this could be favored by some
Pop: I was expecting this deck to have great pop. I tried my friends' almosts, and I liked them all a lot, mainly for there pop and because they were light-weight, but I didn't know if their decks had the same construction as the one that I bought. Well, I was dissapointed, to say the least, although the wood on this deck felt stiff, it had very little pop. The pop didn't go away easily though, even when it was razor-tailed it wasn't too much worse. Atleast it didn't get worse quickly.
