Alright my dad said i can order a new board online at ccs tonight woo! but i looked at the popwar decks and they look so outdated...lol ino i shouldn't be looking at the graffix but they're so ugly...and so are habitat lol element are so colorful!

if you read my other thread, im working on getting a street board (low trucks, and small wheels) that will be light and easy to get in the air.

but i want to get a popwar...heres the setup i think ill get...
Deck:Popwar (7.88 width)
Tucks:Krux III lows (7.75 width) (or maybe Destructo lows 7.5 width?)
Wheels: Spitfire (52 mm)
&
*DESTRUCTO COMPLETE PARTS PACKAGE
Includes: Speed Metal Bearings, Jessup Grip Grip Tape, Destructo Hardware, and Destructo Riser Pads.

HERES WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE:

**also...griptape...should i get popwar for the board, negative one neon pink (for the color), or jessup for the quality? is there much difference? i really want the pink but ino jessup is better.

do you think its worth it...do you guys think powar is lighter and easier to get into the air then an element fiberlite?

im pretty sure this is my setup....but any input would be appreciated!

(phew...ino im thinking too much about every detail but i want it to be perfect becuase im porr and ill be stuck with this board for years to come!)

LMAO! She's picking boards based on whether they have pretty graphics or not.

If that's not poseur-ism, I don't know what is!

That's my point! It shouldn't matter if a deck is "pretty" or "ugly". It's a dang skateboard!


Even if you picked the prettiest board in the world, it's going to end up getting scratched and such. It shouldn't matter.

By the way, what happened to your last skateboard?

well im a girl. these things are uncontrolled i cant help it ino im not supposed to care but i do a little. i get the board anyway tho...by the way why does it matter to you whether i like my deck graphics or not?

and my last skateboard broke down the middle if you need to know. no im not replacing it just cuz it got 'scratched'

I would go with the popwar with the shorties hardware and such, with the krux. Sounds good to me.
