Anti-Hero, Alien Workshop and Habitat are great boards. But if I were you I wouldn't chose a deck becuase of it's design, becuase then you get it just to look cool...not have fun... :eek:
haha sike :-9: have fun

From wut ive heard, Alien Workshops kinda suck....they break pretty easily.But whatever u like man. I have a Zero and ive had it for about a month and it still has tons of pop and just a few pressure cracks. Advice:DONT GET ELEMENT BOARDS. After a while, they get all weird and spongy. They are good if u got through a board a week, but not for a long term commitment. Sry for tha off subject speech there.

AWS and Habitat.
Why? Because they are made of good wood and my personal preference.

Im in a bad situation here the only skate shop that supplys english decks are sellin them for like only £35-£45 and Im trying to get a decent deck, another is that if i get something with crap designs then all my frends will make fun of me, a guy i knew bought a TOY for about £80 and everyone made fun of him cos of the design. And another thing is that I have only been skating for two weeks now, and im using a second hand board, so I kinda dont know what is good and what isnt. Im currently on an old Anarchy, which is crud. Thanks to all who have posted thanks

Decent HOAX board shouldnt run more than 33 quid. But just get a blank. or it u have to get a big name deck..AWS or Hab. design means nothing...might wanna give some thought to getting some new friends...kewl ones this time. The ones that know what u looklike or how u skate doesn't matter...just that ur there sharing in the fun of it all.
peace.

k after a bit of consideration ive redone my list and ive also put the prices that the shop is selling them for, and the reasons that u have seemed to put for them:
Zero - £60 -Great concave and pop - Keeps pop and stays in condition for longer
Chocolate - £60 - great concave and pop - keeps pop like zero but not 4 as long
Anti-Hero - £60
Baker - £60 - great concave + pop- keeps pop + condition for same as zero
Alien Workshop - £55-£60 - good wood
Habitat - £55-£60 - good wood
Landscape - £50 - Good Old English Decks-cheap+ as good if not betta than usa decks
Heroin - £50 - Good Old English Decks-cheap+ as good if not betta than usa decks
Blueprint - £40-£45 -Good Old English Decks-cheap+ as gud if not betta than us decks
SO now u know the prices i can get them for please now debating over those ones and those ones only, and put any reasons as to why they are better than the others! Thanks agen

Zero's are pretty good, i like mine and it's lasted this far so i recommend it. I hear Toy Machine , and Alien Workshop are better Than Zero...and that World Industries suck and that you should never buy one. That's about it.

Landscape - £50 - Good Old English Decks-cheap+ as good if not betta than usa decks
Heroin - £50 - Good Old English Decks-cheap+ as good if not betta than usa decks
Blueprint - £40-£45 -Good Old English Decks-cheap+ as gud if not betta than us decks
That is cheaper than US decks and if it really is better than the us decks then get it...cheaper and better. Can't lose with that. Also if I were you I'd laugh at the people laughing at the guys with the ugly deck designs...
