Best Deck

[Apokoplyptil]

What is the best deck for a beginner? My friend gave me his old Wal-Mart board and that's what I'm using for now. It's not that bad actually but I'm sure that there is better. I need soemthing that's good quality with a low price and I don't really care about the design on the bottom just as long as it isn't a long board or banana board or something like that.

1. Like Zach said, make a search for this stuff.
2. Boards are all preference, what may be best for one person may be worst for another.
3. Myself, I like the shape, reaction, and concave mellowness that Habitat has to offer.

As for me I prefer Flip decks, sometimes a Zero.

Popwar, bitches!

[Apokoplyptil]

I've heard a bunch of different ones from different people. I've heard that Elements are good. Not sure though. There are not skate parks OR skate shops unless I drive a couple of hours to Greensboro. That's it though. So I have to get it off hte internet or from a friend which the board would be worn out already.

Elements are OK. There are better companies out there, though. Try out a popwar, they are fantastic.

[Apokoplyptil]

I think I might check out these Popwars because its' the only one that's been suggested more than one time. But still people, keep recommending skateboard brands.

[PopwarPunk]

Get a Popwar, god damnit.

Seriously, do it.

They're awesome.

[emericask8ter]

yeah, i would go with a popwar or a shorty's because they're light wood. I also landed my first kickflip on an almost so u should look into that

[dsc6072]

Almost : *thumbs down* F@#% dwindle.

[emericask8ter]

i landed my first kickflip onan almost in 7 months of skating

[emericask8ter]

i just rode almost the wholetime ive been skating until now. im better off withshorty's

[xdejaentendu187]

mini logo...cheap and durrable...need i say more?

[GrizzledJASPER]

Minilogos are good for beginners, or just order a blank from www.blankdecks.com or some other blank deck store. Anything is better than wal-mart. You said you have to drive to Greensboro, are you refferring to Greensboro NC? If so, where are you from?

[Skating MaD MaN]

Blank Deck's are very good for beginner's.

[sexysk8rchic]

i recommend ANYTHING other then wal-mart...and if walmart is your only chance...i wouldnt attempt any hard riding on it..i would think it would snap....

[shift_Decks]

i say get an alien workshop. it was my first and i learned to ollie not moving in 1 month and moving in 2 months later constantly. they are light and have good concave much like habitat those are good to

that has nothing to do with what deck you had.

[Sk8in ZeRo 4Eva]

go for zeros, they are long lasting so you dont have to blow your budget falling all the time

[blacklabel4eva]

Black Label Bitches!!!!!!!!!!

I agree, they are the best deck I've skated so far.


MYSTERY there the best fricken decks i've rode!!!
My old Mystery really dissapointed me, I hated it. It might've been a fluke though.

[spenser]

zero - no

black label - iffy, but ok

mystery - same as zero (the actual board) so no

[GrizzledJASPER]

i got a zero for my first deck and i loved it, durability isnt really a factor because if you just started you're not going to really do anything to break your deck. ill have to admit, it was really hard to get used to my minilogo, which is about the same as the board im riding now, after riding my zero for so long because the shapes were a lot different, not bad, but different.
