They're stress cracks and there is not much you can do about this.
Risers pads may help the board live for longer, enough time to save up for a new deck.

That happened to my old board, they look bad, but really there not a problem.

Yeah they're called stress of pressure cracks. It's beacuse your trucks are pulling on the wood and causing it to split. It really only makes your top sheet split slightly and isn't a big deal.
Like mentioned above, riser pads help reduce pressure cracks but don't stop them completely.
Your board should still work fine ;)

yea my board which i have had for a while has killer pressure cracks, worse than in that pic, longer and all over, but my board still holds strong.... but that also might be because im only 100 pounds and don't put that much *pressure* on the board. meah, oh well

I get those things after 1 week of having my board cause ollieng down 5 stairs for like 2 hours trying to do a miserable trick like a kickflip out of it will really give a lot of stress. I use ike 2 riser pads on each truck to help relieve pressure but still there is nothing you can do...
