Well sence you have a world industries i will tell you it did loose its pop if it started with any!
but seriously Are your ollies not as high is your tail screwed up?

[smurf88]

It'll be obvious when it happens.

[sk83rb0y]

^^ i agree with koolaid and smurf88.

[JoeyKovacs]

when you start to not pop as high.... kind of an answer within the question there pal.

[Tilly&theOllie]

Yeah it did
lose pop, is there a way to just look at the deck and tell?

[sk83rb0y]

yeah the tail will be thin and pretty much be squared off.

[smurf88]

No.
asdfghj

[JoeyKovacs]

no. no way to tell by just looking. unless its like all chipped and like 50 years old, and dusty, and spider-webby :)

[sk83rb0y]

my last board lost almost all of its pop and became thin, chipped, and squared off.

[Judgement]

When you bought the board bub. Worlds suck.

[sk83rb0y]

My board turned square because it was a piece of crap and I kept doing pogos on it. Never do pogos. They'll screw up your board.

100 posts!!!!

[H-town sk8]

yea if you want to pogo get a wal mart board, who cares if it gets f'd up right?

[smurf88]

Or just don't pogo at all. It isn't really a useful or fun trick.

[skizzate]

When they start to suck. Don't worry about it though doesn't effect much. Well atleast for me.

When they loose their pop they often tend to turn a bright shade of magenta. You will be ollieng and look down and bam your board completly changes color.

[sk83rb0y]

^^ haha that's cool.

Oh you mean the tip it starts to turn yellow.

I think that's what he meant because that's what happened to my old board. That happens even faster if your board gets really wet. I know.

Yeah I did get my World wet a couple times but when I get my new deck I'll take good care of it.

I've noticed the more layers of wood you can see when the tail starts going sharp is usually how much pop you're losing, if you can see all the layers it's about time to get a new deck.

[sk83rb0y]

But in about a month, depending on how much you skate, you can see all of the layers. I've had my board for about 2 months and I can see all of the layers. The pop is still good though.

[Tilly&theOllie]

Yeah okay on my world I was able to see all the layers of wood.

[sk83rb0y]

I'm not tryin to be like smurf but World Industries probably had almost no pop to begin with. How long have you had the board anyway?

[Breene]

ROFL i was joking! your board doesnt change color... o_O

But there is no way to tell by looking at it. And it doesnt just happen all at once. Over time the board is weekened and gets broken in and loses the pop it came with. And I have a WI, Its my only board, and i dont see anything wrong with it.. its not the best but untill i get a habitat its good enough. I can ollie a foot up which is all i need for now and i can ride around doing whatever.

LOL you can diss World if you want I use to like world but then I foudn there decks suck can't wait until I get my Alien Workshop, I'm gonna get it this weekend.

[sk83rb0y]

That's cool.

[Tilly&theOllie]

How does a deck actually have no pop, I don't get it. A brand new deck having no pop don't get it.

[goofy m3ng]

when a deck suxorz its pop suxorz. Ull know when u ollie and it doesnt make that perfect popping noise cause the board has been carved so much it goes almost vertical :p

[Tilly&theOllie]

Oh okay I see now.
