Snap! My ol' Anti-Hero went today, got some photos, and a story.
Pretty much I was skating a steep driveway, and went up to do a simple kickflip. Went up there, came down pretty nice, but I took a look, and I saw some sick cracks. I went to do a Bert slide, and it went, snapped pretty clean. I got some photos.-

Sad day. I went and found an old World Industries deck *Piece of crap.* and bolted it on, no pop. But it will work for a week or two. =)

Man, I must say, if it came apart while doing a Bert slide, you must be doing Berts wrong.

=) Naw, it had a big crack on the Kick Flip, I wanted to see if I could get one last Bert out of it. Went up, and then it went full.
And Dave, it was pretty old, about 7-8 months.
Strong as hell.

If you wouldn't have mentioned how you broke it I would have thought you focused it, and on a bert slide? How'd you pull that one off?

I'm skating a anti-hero right now actually. I think it's great. Amazing board really. It's a shame yours broke.

Anti-Hero makes some great decks, no question. I love their stuff.

it's not a sad day at all in skateboarding, it was cracked, when boards are cracked and 7-8 months old you need a new deck, you obviously dont skate to much to keep it for 7-8 months. so what i bet theres thousands of people who break a skateboard everyday.

It wasn't cracked 'till I did the kickflip, can you read? I skate all the time, can you not see the tail. Do I have to break a board every month to skate a lot? Come on, that is just biased oppinion. I don't got the money to go and buy a lot of skateboards, so I can't just go out with the sole purpose to break one, I try not to. I like to post photos of my old broken beauties. Lots of kids think you have to snap boards all the time to be a "Hardcore" skater. That is just not true. Lots of new skaters go out with the intention to snap the deck, which is stupid. The reason? They have the money, or the money from their parents, for another. So what if it lasted me 6 months, just shows what Anti-Hero is made of. =) And the whole "It's a sad day" was just a joke. e.e
