Board Types

[Enjoi Flatland]

Sorry to yet again start a new thread, but I'm curious. I've been reading quite a bit about decks and there a few terms I do not understand. For example, Flips are a Blitz deck, what does that mean exactly. There's another term that started with a 'q' but I forget what that is.

Ever play NFL Blitz 2004?

[spenser]

theres more distributors than that, those are just the ones we remembered.

but yeah. flip is made by blitz, along with baker, hookups, and birdhouse, and they basically suck for the most part.

[falloffboy101]

ive heard tons of bad things about all those^ decks except flip. i'd get a popwar.

[shift_Decks]

flips are still pretty bad strength wise. there like bakers there awsome for like 1-2 weeks but after the pops gone

[-noxi-]

I had a DNA from my cousin a while back, god I loved that board.

[STR8 RIPPIN']

My enjoi deck has kept its pop for ages.

[just_skate_]

My favorties are Deluxe, Tum Yeto, and DNA.

[Enjoi Flatland]

Okay thanks, the was very helpful. So which is better, crailtap or DNA?

[spenser]

well.. im sure if you gathered a group of educated skateboarders who have had a few decks from the obvious top distributors, deluxe would be the top choice, followed by tum yeto or something maybe.

but... dna or crailtap.. i dont know. i know that i dont really like crailtap a whole lot because the ones ive ridden were extra bendy and weak feeling, and i dont think ive ever ridden a dna board. well, i have, but it was a long time ago and it was my friends. it wasnt bad, but it looked generic.
